Let's call them what they are...
"Republicans".
We need to get back to defining the REPUBLICAN Party by call it such.

"NeoCONs", fascists, etc... are true but I believe if we stick with what the "Republicans" are doing to this country , when we speak in public, then I believe it will hit more people, harder.

No more excuses like, "the Republican party has been hijacked by..." HELL NO. No more outs for them. No more excuses. They voted for this mess.

1. People that believe in a republic, aren't as insightful as those who fight

2. I think some are trying still to splinter the GOP
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 07:22 PM by PATRICK
since the extremists get ever more hubristic and the normal people can only follow them so far when ambition and self-survival demands an alternative to the strong attraction of simply being in power. When the Democrats were in power the glue was BEING in power. It is a strong glue.

I for one would like to bring down the most corrupted(in every senses) political party. It is a ruin and for the somewhat tainted Dems to try to
offer them a lifesaver isn't exactly noble or responsible or necessarily effective. Someone needs to slap some intensely frigid water in their face and down their spines(both parties) and face up to the incredible disaster and shame of the past years and the approaching horror for which THEY, not America nor its deluded sheeple is responsible.

The ceremony of innocence had been a drowned rat for two decades. We need new leaders and/or new parties but those responsible for this mess must pay if anything is to be anything in our dimming future.

4. Parts of Ohio which normally don't notice these things are likely to
realize that having the Repukes in charge since 1994 is not a good thing - especially when they realize that the only thing that changed since then is the man in the White House . . .
