Hey "fighter pilot" Bu$h: CHECK SIX! (I hear the train a'comin'!)

"Hell to Pay" by Armando (on Daily Kos)

I just saw a clip on CNN of Randall Terry promising that Republicans at all levels will have "hell to pay" for cynically using the "pro-Life" movement if they don't "save" Terri Schiavo. Terry accused the GOP of using the Religious Right to gain power and then doing nothing when in power.

This is the proverbial 'tiger by the tail' for the GOP. The GOP needs its extremists to gain power, but can not reward these extremists and remain in power. And it is the main reason why Sen. Reid has drawn a line in the sand on judicial nominations - this is the politically painless way for the GOP to reward its Extremist base. Reid is "cutting them off at the pass," to use a tired cliche. (Hey, I am a proponent of the Western strategy for the Dems, heh.)

Does this portend "A Conservative Crackup", as Glenn Reynolds suggests? I think it is way too early for that, but so long as Democrats continue to fight intelligently and fearlessly, keep the focus on the extreme nature of the Republican Party and its "out of the mainstream" agenda, it seems to me that the Dems are on a good trajectory for the 06 elections.

Bu$h has lied to and pissed off too many people. Chits are coming due. Emboldened enemies lurk high and out of sight, ready to swoop down from out of the sun. They are loaded for bear. Bu$h's guns are bankrupt; he is Winchester (out of bullets). He can't RTB (return-to-base) because his base is now rising against him.

As a fighter pilot (F-86s) in the Korean war, novelist James Salter called the string of high, lethal MiG-15s "the train," and the North Korean airfield at Pyongyang "the train station." Does Bu$h's wingman, Karl Rove, see this train a'comin'? Let's hope not.

Saint-Exupery wrote that fighters planes don't fight; they murder. The outcome for a wandering, bumbling flight of two against foes that are higher-flying, better-gunned, and superior in numbers is generally a foregone conclusion.

On second thought, don't Check Six.

1. The threat could be worst for us then for Bush and the GOP

Some things will have to be done to make up for this. Even though I would like to think that Randall Terry represents on a handful of extreme righties, those few have a big voice. The republicans are so drunk with power now they will do anything to hold on to it. Even it means selling what ever is left of their souls not wholley owned by corporations to the devils like Terry.

2. Bush was...

"Bingo Brain" a long time ago. Can a plain choose to eject a pilot when that is all that is wrong with the system?

4. You mean like this?

6. Almost.

The aircraft should have just kept on going and much more successfully completed its mission. ;-)

3. Karl Rove has been masterful

at framing the issues and controlling the dialogue. My bet is that he`ll succeed this time as well. If all else fails, there`s always the terror alert.

5. If Bush was smart (and we all know he isn't)....

...he would be watching Randall Terry and his psychotic followers very closely. This fraudministration claims to be fighting terrorism, and here we have a piece of shit who fits the very definition of the word. Every asshole who ever blew up an abortion clinic or shot up its employees was a follower of Randall Terry. And these idiots in Florida are so hysterical that there's another potential McVeigh here.
