How many legs would a horse have, if you call a tail a leg?
Four. Calling a tail a leg does not make it one.
By what definition, other than his self-identification and his ability to deceive others, was King George a Republican?
No definition. I agree with you about George Ryan. He’s similar to Rep. Mark Kirk, my congressman. Kirk is a Republican who is pro-spending increases, pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage, pro-illegal alien, and anti-Iraq surge. I think that he should run as a Democrat. I emailed, him four times, and asked why he’s a Republican, but I haven’t received a response. I emailed three of his aides and asked why he’s a Republican, but I haven’t received a response.
