    Yes well, there are those of us who remember the democrats haven't exactly been a bunch of angels. Before Iraq there was a little thing called Vietnam and George Wallace and the rest of the "Dixiecrats" who simply switched sides in 65. For some it's pretty easy to see that there is no real opposition. Singling out one faction is counterproductive. The basic problem goes much deeper. Jeeze! These guys are traveling insurance salesmen with much nicer threads. Why are we falling for this?

    That's change I can hope for. We shouldn't be doing their paperwork.
