SIVACRACY.NET: Bull Moose Bull

The Bull Moose blog is often interesting and articulate. But then there are posts like this:
The Moose charges that the elephant is a national security girly man. [emphasis added]
....
The Bush administration has appropriated $34.3 billion on a theoretical missile defense system -- which proved again this week to be an expensive dud in its first test in two years, when the "kill vehicle" never got off the ground to intercept the target missile carrying a mock warhead -- but has been able up to now, according to congressional budget authorities, to spend just $2 billion to armor the vehicles of Americans under fire."

Not only did the Bushies commit too few troops to the war, they have also brought the Reserves and the National Guard to the breaking point. The military is overstretched and the President has spent much of the nation's precious resources that could have been used to expand the armed services to instead reward his wealthy donors with lavish tax breaks.

Despite all of their flag waving and chest thumping, the G.O.P. has more important priorities than national defense - fundamentally, as has been said before, greed is the Republican creed. That means the donkey has the opportunity to become the party that is smart and muscular.

Stop letting the elephant bully kick sand in your face! With apologies to Arnold, the elephant is just a girly man.

So "the donkey" needs to become "smart and muscular" and avoid being "just a girly man" like "the elephant." Because girliness is abhorent...except of course when politicians attempt to "court the ladies" or "woo women voters." With apologies to ARNOLD? Women comprise more than half the population of this country and more than half of the Democratic party, not that you'd notice by the rhetoric.
