Today in the studio we have with us, G.O.P. Congresscritter. We'll be discussing the upcoming 2006 election, the important issues affecting Americans today and how the Republicans intend on maintaining their majority in all three branches of government.
Monkeys: Good morning Representative Critter, glad to have you with us.
GC: Glad to be here.
Monkeys: In this mid-term election cycle, the Democrats look to be in good condition to reclaim one or both houses of congress due to the impact of the president's popularity and a plethora of looming scandal within the GOP. How do the Republicans plan to leverage the nation's dissatisfaction?
GC: Tax Cuts, Abortion, Foul Language & Gay Marriage.
Monkeys: So, your opinion is that, as long as you continue to tout wedge issues as family values, you'll overcome the perception that absolute power does corrupt absolutely?
GC: Tax Cuts, Abortion, Foul Language & Gay Marriage.
Monkeys: I'm getting a sense that we're in danger of making little progress here. With the war still raging in Iraq 4 years later, its effects draining the nation's resources fiscally and emotionally, a weakened support infrastructure designed to respond during catastrophic events, durable and disposable good prices sky-rocketing, the cost and price of oil beyond anything we've seen in past history, education on the decline as mandated testing squashes creative learning in the classroom and global warming moving from the crank to the reality column... how do the Republicans plan to address the needs of Joe American Voter.
GC: Tax Cuts, Abortion, Foul Language & Gay Marriage.
Monkeys: Can I see the talking points you brought with you?
GC: No.
Monkeys: Ok, let's continue. Recently a vast number of scandals have rocked, not only the Republican party, but the inner circles of power once thought to be inpenatrable. From DeLay to Abramoff to Ney to Hastert to Rove to Cheney to Cunningham not to mention the number of Governors that have had to step down. Key White House officials are on trial for everything from shoplifting to money laundering. Will this have any impact on the voters decisions on which box to check in November or maybe even, stay home in apathetic protest?
GC: WILLIAM JEFFERSON!!!!!!!!
Monkeys: Agreed, there seems to be some corruption on either side but until there's a ratio that's less than say 20 to 1, Republican to Democrat, don't you think there's an uphill battle to regain a solid footing from which to champion values and the push to reclaim America for the conservatives? Bush's choices to grow government larger than any previous adminstration, declare himself decider of all that he can see and ignore the rule of law while writing riders to each of the bills he signs, does it not appear that the GOP have become the party they ran against?
GC: Tax Cuts, Abortion, Foul Language & Gay Marriage.
Monkeys: Thank you for your time, this has been a most enlightening interview.
GC: Contract with Americaaaaaaa!
