The real GOP

By Jack Lessenberry

Created Feb 20 2008 - 9:49am

Nobody is paying much attention to the Republicans anymore. They long ago
(well, last week, anyway) settled on their candidate, the aged military hero
John McCain, pride of the Arizona Navy.

Everyone is rushing to endorse him. P.J. O'Rourke, the only intentionally
funny Republican since Abe Lincoln, came up with the perfect slogan for Old
Ironskull: "Strong and Wrong."

Want to know where that came from?

Well, during a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, McCain was asked if U.S.
troops would have to stay in Iraq for 50 years.

"Make it a hundred!" McCain shot back. Later he actually said we might have
to be there for a thousand or a million years, before they presumably got
him back on his medication. Nevertheless, some think he could be a real
threat to carry Michigan this year.

"Aged" ? Do I spot someone poisoning the well here ? :-)

That's the real face of today's MICHIGAN Republican Party.

(I support exceptions for rape, incest, and threat to the mother's
life.)
