Why is it that so many "Republicans" that get the press, including our President and putative nominee for President, so continuously try to out democrat the Democrats? It's so frustrating it nearly makes you (me?) pull for a clean sweep by Democrats this November so we can rebuild the Party with real Republicans.
It's only a passing feeling. I'm Secretary at my BPOU, so will work through to the election. It's just hard to get enthusiastic these days.
To simplify I classify them in to two groups the duped and the dupers.
Schwarzenegger, Guiliani are the dupers. Their conservatism is only skin deep and they only embrace the Republican agenda to get elected. After election they distance themselves from that agenda to work with the other side. They really were believers in the other agenda to start with.
George Bush, Lyndsey Graham are the among the duped. They are either too nice (Bush) or too dumb (Graham) to see that calls to work with the other side are as meaningless as Lucy’s offer to hold the football for Charlie Brown. They mean well and at least in the case of Bush I think are true belevers. Graham I think just wants to be liked. I wonder was he an outcast in high school.
So there’s my Psychiatric Evaluation ala Lucy..that will be $0.05 please. :)
