Is Nothing Sacred?
According to an article in the LA Times, the Bush administration can't even be respectful to the dead. They are hoping that Ronald Reagan's death will boost the President's lagging popularity. We already knew about Bush's lack of respect for human life as evidenced in his handling of the Iraqi/Afghan casualties, but now he's preying on the legacy of a dead president.
I realize that this administration has no moral value whatsoever. They like to tell everyone about the President's convictions, but what it comes down to is that they want to win at all costs. No matter the damage done to an individual (see Anne Richards, John McCain, Al Gore, etc.), this administration will use anyone's disadvantage (perceived or otherwise) for their gain. It's all about power: having it and keeping it. They will lie, cheat, steal, and even kill (Iraq) to maintain the power.
Modern conservatives adore Reagan. He is their messiah. He is the model for present-day conservatism, and here is our President hoping to benefit from his death. Pathetic.
UPDATE!!!
Apparently I'm not the only person to notice this. Check out this Boston Globe Article.
Still don't believe me? Look at this.
