I saw a Republican congresswoman on CSpan this morning who actually seemed to care about America (she was on a committee for eliminating the budget deficit). I support her fight to get rid of the deficit (as I'm sure do most Democrats and I imagine most Americans), though I'm sure there are many issues on which we'd disagree.
How cool would that be if the Republican leadership actually cared about America? How cool would that be if we had reasoned debate, had a press corps that covered it objectively and thoroughly, and then the people would decide on the right course? Who knows, maybe Republicans would even have a few good ideas that would slip through.
Then I wake up. Republicans and the media have defiled our democracy. They achieved and maintain power through lies. Our fight is not just for better ideas, it's to remove from office arguably the most irresponsible and immoral leaders in American history.
