The Demopublicans are the real occupy movement.? With a military presence already in over 100 countries, Premier Obama has sent troops to Central Africa and Australia in the past two months to supposedly "defend OUR interests."? Of course, the neocons who have taken over the Republican Party approve of this; their only dispute is that they wish Obama would have sent MORE troops.? Yesterday the Mouth of the GOP, Rush Limbaugh, was lambasting Obama for sending "only" 2,500 Marines to Australia.? Limbaugh is on board with the stupid and senseless GOP schtick of "threatening" China wherever Chinese businesses threaten to sell good quality, cheap stuff anywhere in the world, and apparently thinks Obama should have sent 25,000 or 250,000 Marines.? "Oh yeah, 2,500 Marines will threaten China," he sarcastically bellowed.? The GOP should change its acronym to OTWP (Occupy The World Party)
Then there's front-runner-for-a-day, Herman "Keep Your Hands to Yourself!" Cain.? A friend who is an avid LRC reader attended Cain's speech in West Palm Beach, Florida last night and reports that he said his top priority as president (after taking a nap his first day in office, he said) would be to expand the military.? The empire is not nearly big enough, and is not bankrupting the country at a quick enough pace, according to the former pizza salesman/Fed bureaucrat.? The good news is that there were only about 300 people in attendance at the West Palm Beach Convention Center, and that was after Cain had to drop his initial request of a $50 entrance fee and make the event free of charge.
