Nevertheless --I still make a qualitative difference between 'evil incarnate' (the GOP) and 'enablers' which (since the regime of Ronald Reagan) the Democrats have increasingly become.<BR/><BR/>It's a distinction between the 'beast' and the 'belly of the beast'. The GOP is the belly of the beast. The Democrats are compromised because they are dependent upon the same money sources as are GOPPERS but get less of it. The GOP are whores. The Democrats are cut rate whores. As Rick said in Casablanca 'I don't mind a parasite. I object to a cut-rate one'. <BR/><BR/>A Teddy Roosevelt 'Progressive' would be preferable to both wings (Democrats and GOP) of the single MIC party that we have today.<BR/><BR/>Think about it --Teddy might have done more to smash the 'trusts' but his was, nevertheless, the last administration to give a shit. He was also the first and possibly the last 'environmentalist' President.<BR/><BR/>Ideologically, I am more aligned with the Progressive Movement of the latter part of the 19th century. Call me old fashioned. As the history books point out: 'the frontier had been tamed, great cities and businesses developed, and an overseas empire established, but not all citizens shared in the new wealth, prestige, and optimism.'<BR/><BR/>One is tempted to blame Clinton's 'triangulation' of the center for the emasculation of the Democratic part. But, I'm afraid we have many others to blame as well including Tip 0'Neil. Nancy has apparently finished the job.<BR/><BR/>Why do I concentrate on the GOP? If I may be allowed to mix a couple of metaphors: the GOP is the 'head' of the monster in the belly of the beast!<BR/><BR/>The Democrats have made themselves irrelevant and --with the exception of obvious traitors (Pelosi) --not worth attacking as Bush was 'not worth impeaching". A new party will spring up on their left flank! The Ron Paul folk were an amalgam of disaffected 'left' and disaffected 'right'. If Paul had been better financed, and tweaked a bit ideologically, he might have pulled it off. He still has too much GOP stench about him for my taste. BTW --I knew and interviewed Paul on numerous occasions in Houston.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598093941551759917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-41471616925407246712008-06-22T15:38:00.000-07:002008-06-22T15:38:00.000-07:00If you think it's just the GOP, think about how ab...If you think it's just the GOP, think about how absolutely the DNC is on this issue.<BR/><BR/>Obama as Pres? Give me a break. He knows NOTHING about impeachment, criminal law, nothing.<BR/><BR/>The detainees should be freed now, not after some rigged election.<BR/><BR/>I totally believe a special torture prosecutor will be announced soon; CONyers has no desire to see himself hung.<BR/><BR/>Impeachment IS on the table, as all the idiots are cornered.<BR/>ALL idiot psychopaths.<BR/><BR/>Nancy Pelosi should have recused herself long ago ..ladybroadoakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525308772572314967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-10110949490129903642008-06-22T05:25:00.000-07:002008-06-22T05:25:00.000-07:00You're right, benmerc.

They will simply cite the increase in terrorism as justified for increased militarism, military spending and other boondoogles and giveaways to the MIC. <BR/><BR/>The GOP remains a clear and present danger not only to the US but to the entire world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598093941551759917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-14421310790070750352008-06-22T05:18:00.000-07:002008-06-22T05:18:00.000-07:00There is no excuse for constitutional abuse, and t...There is no excuse for constitutional abuse, and there will be little to no remedy for the the anger and contempt many of these detainees will have when they are freed. Bush was asked recently what he thought about data that implied the incursion into Iraq had in fact increased the threat of terrorism by swelling the ranks of recruitment. Bush dryly said to the reporter: "I don't care" <BR/><BR/>benmercAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-26825205649928819262008-06-21T06:38:00.000-07:002008-06-21T06:38:00.000-07:00Right on, Len.

The correct Constitutional remedy is not to allow Bush and Cheney to run out the clock and ride off into the sunset and collect a big, fat government pension - it is IMPEACHMENT! These criminals need to be put on trial and if necessary, executed, for their treasonous behavior.<BR/><BR/>The Conservative DeflatorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
