All the Rage with RINOs

This week's RINO Sightings Carnival has been posted at Searchlight Crusade. Host Dan Melson does a great job. BTW, Dan also has this riveting essay on dangers posed by the illusion of privacy.

I'm not about to summarize every post, but the following stood out:

  • Environmental Republican offers some advice for Democrats:
    The minority party is in tatters and it's because of people who call anyone they disagree with a "gook bitch". If you want to be taken seriously, be serious. Stop throwing pies at conservative speakers, stop the Bush=Hitler rhetoric and stop the "Bush lied" meme, these are baseless and frankly make you look like exactly what you are--a group of people who should never be trusted with political power again.
  • This post about Maureen Dowd's feet I found tough to ignore -- especially the comment that "RuPaul wears a smaller shoe size." In San Francisco, where it's possible to get confused about the sex of a person, foot size is a dead giveaway. Next thing to look at is the size of the hands -- especially the thumbs. (Why am I liking what I see? Who should be embarrassed by this?)
  • Tinkerty Tonk has an informative post about revoking the Pulitzer Prize from the dreadful Stalin apologist Walter Duranty. The NYT wants him to keep it. (Natch!)
  • Dean Esmay has had it with lying liars whose lies about lies are lies, and I agree with him.
  • Nice job, Dan!

    Now, go read 'em all.

    I read Dean Esmay. Not impressed, I must be a liar because I still maintain that Bush lied. Bush campaigned on the theme that we would not engage in nation building. He also made this promise in his inaugural address. But he appointed a ton of people who wanted to do exactly that, and we now know that it was his intention from the very beginning to find an excuse to remove Hussein. Those most knowledgeable about the situation (the weapons inspectors themselves), were skeptical about the WMD situation, but the Bush administration ordered the intelligence assessments they needed to exploit 9/11 to do what they had wanted to do all along. The Democrats, of course, went along, because they're liars and political whores just like the Republicans.

    Lot's of people knew there were no WMDs. Check out, for instance, TruthAboutWar.org. But the whores in the MSM weren't going to give any of these views the time of day (not as good for ratings as war), and so it seemed like everyone agreed that there were WMDs.

    Let me say it again: Bush lied.

    Well, at least you're being as fair to the Democrats as you are to Bush.

    BTW, there's a nice post about the Bush Lied meme here:
