Hmmmm... what was it that republicans were supposed to be opposed to? Wasn't it regulation, taxes and wasteful spending? (think this issue, the tax on LANs and the ever more expensive war on Iraq) As a rugged individualist liberal, I'd have to say that with Bush in office, we've hit the Trifecta where the Bush admin's reputation is concerned. :P Yeah yeah, I know it's somewhat off topic, but you've got to admit it's quite comical.
