all of these policies show that the Republican Party is no longer the party of states' rights or smaller government. Republican legislators are linked into the Congressional gravy train and this Republican president lacks the ideological rigor to insist on the libertarian principles of individual liberty, local government, and smaller government. One can't blame this entirely on Bush. Ronald Reagan, when he was president, articulated these principles but actually grew the size of government during his tenor. If St. Ronald could do this, then why not his successors in the eastern establishment-linked Bush family?
Democrats are out of power. And, sadly, Republicans have become so obsessed with personal loyalty that they've forgotten that their first duty is to country, not party or friend. Unless they wake up soon and dump Bush, Republicans could be permanently discredited.
Bush sets the mafia-like tone: "I'm the kind of person, when a friend gets attacked, I don't like it." His lieutenants blur treason with hardball politics--"[Democrats] just aren't coming forward with any policy positions that would change the country, so they want to pick up whatever the target of the week is and make the most out of that," says GOP House Whip Roy Blunt--and blame the victim--Rove, absurdly argues Congresswoman Deborah Pryce, was innocently trying to expose Wilson's "lies."
We don't need a law to tell us that unmasking a CIA agent, particularly during wartime, is treasonous. Every patriotic American--liberal, conservative, or otherwise--knows that.
Republicans are (evil ).for lack of a better word.

I wish I could shoot them both. But I can't. And since the pro-choice jackasses literally tried to kill me before I was even born, I'm stuck in the middle of the elephant herd, waiting for the donkeys to change or for a third herd to develop so that I can jump ship.

Technically Dem., only because I wanted to vote in the Primary this year, but otherwise I consider myself Unaffiliated. I'll gladly vote for any party so long as the views of their candidate come closest to mine.
