Re: president bush
The "liberal title" is just for LIBERALS (a few of which are indeed in the republican party). It just so happens that there are no conservative democrats. And if you have any sense of history, republicans of today are just about what democrats WERE 60 years ago. So, that leaves nowhere for today's democrat to be pigeonholed, except with the marxists, socialists, and other collectivists of the world.<br /><br />As for the performance of the republicans in Congress, I'd have to give them a grade of "D" for their failure to control spending and failure to slap the de-waddlin' crap out of the democrats over the matter of the judicial nominees.<br /><br />As for where we are today, maybe it's not all roses, but I shudder to think of how the democrats would have handled the challenges we've faced over the last five years. Talk about a bunch of stuffed shirts. We'd have become a third-rate power in short order under the leadership of the likes of Algore or John Kerry.<br /><br />And as for the bleating from the left and incessant howling over Iraq, most folks with a brain know that the tactic of the left is to repeat their lies over and over again until everyone believes what they say. What the poor leftists don't understand is that their official organ of the democratic [socialist] party, otherwise known as the mainstream press, no longer holds a monopoly on the distribution of information. There are thinking folks everywhere who can express themselves and spread the TRUTH. <br /><br />So, as the democratic party is figuratively dragged by the hair to the guillotine of political history, its shrieking becomes an earpiercing din of protestation, accusation, and all manner of attempts to vindicate itself---which only serves to cement the certainty of guilt in the minds of the executioner, AKA the American voter. <br /><br />The sad thing is that it didn't have to be this way, but for the unbridled lust for power which has ultimately led to the situation as it stands now. We can only hope that the damage done is reversible, but I ain't holdin' my breath.<br /><br />Scuba, anyone?
