Bob Burnett describes the Ten Telltale Signs of GOP Disease. Here's a summary (details are in the article):
You keep lying, even when it's apparent to everyone that you're lying.
No matter how bad things get, assert that President Bush is doing a great job.
Keep repeating that the situation in Iraq is getting better.
Don't accept any criticism, no matter how non-partisan or well intended.
Stay on offense. No matter what happens, keep pushing your agenda.
Insist that you are pro-women and pro-family.
Tell everyone that you're the Party of peace, the Party that wants to spread democracy throughout the world. Then create the largest peacetime standing army in US history.
Maintain the economy is going great. No matter how bad things get, how large the national debt, or how huge the gap between America's haves and have-nots, push for more tax cuts.
Manipulate the truth. Whenever there is bad news, blame it on the press.
Above all, never admit a mistake. Remember Karl Rove's first commandment: Never show weakness.
