This is it folks -this is the whole ball of wax. This one slip up by the "turd blossom" symbolizes the entire Bush Administration MO for everything from election 2000 to this: It's the Vince Lombardi theory of American Government: "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
They don't care about anything but "winning" at all costs and give no regard to anything that might arise from their actions .
Look at the 2000 election. They only cared about winning. Forget that a presidential election should be decided by popular vote -let the SCOTUS decide the election . Forget that people would be disenfranchised -stop the recount. Forget that the party had traditionally embraced state's rights -it's a federal court issue. Who cares how it devides the country?
Look at the Tax cuts -they only cared about the political points they'd gain by giving three tax cuts in three years, and paid no attention to anything else, particularly the fact that we were in a war and (at the time) were headed for another one. Who cares how it screws the economy?
Take the war in Iraq -all they cared about was going to war in Iraq i.e. getting troops over there and deposing the Hussein regime. "Mission Accomplished", right? No planning for the aftermath, no thought given to what to do afterward. Who cares how you get there -just get there. Doesn't matter if you make up a reason -just have one.
