Sometimes We Wonder

If columnists and editorial writers are reading Blue Crab Boulevard for inspiration. In the Examiner today, there is an editorial that sounds an awful lot like what we have been saying around here for a long, long time.

Even worse, Bush’s refusal to veto pork-barrel spending has compromised the efficacy of his tax cuts. Indeed, “limited government” never looked so big. Adding to Bush’s problem is the stench of scandal stinking up Capitol Hill on both sides of the aisle. Conservatives look at 12 years of GOP control of Congress and wonder why they don’t have much more to show for it.

And

Karl Rove reportedly has a plan to “stir up” the base to again save the Republicans’ electoral bacon, but conservatives won’t be satisfied this time around with more token efforts on issues like marriage and dire warnings that “the Democrats would be far worse.” Conservatives have heard that song before and know it never has a second verse.

And

Most important, Mr. President, secure the borders. Build the wall now. Tell Mexico the border is officially closed to illegal immigration and demand respect from that country for all U.S. laws. And stop using our own Border Patrol against patriotic Americans who are simply trying to help protect this nation from intruders who mean us ill.

The time is short, Mr. President.

Now, of course, since we have held these positions for quite some time, we wholeheartedly agree with the unidentified author. We would however like to point out that we here in the Crabitat do not get paid for what we do. If by any chance a paid member of the media is using us for inspiration, we wouldn't be offended if a few bucks got kicked our way. Honest.
