I hear you, bro. As an idiot, I recall that I was on the streets holding a pro-Bush sign during the hanging chad recount.
In retrospect, I was completely deluded. Now I am much more cynical about the establishment GOP. I hate them with a passion.
Shortly after Ws invasion of Iraq, I read an article in a magazine that compared the Iraq invasion to Hitlers invasion of Poland. Hitler wanted to invade Poland, so he found a reason to do so. W wanted to invade Iraq, so he found a reason to do so.
W is no Hitler, to be sure. But I think the premise of that article is sound.
God Bless Ron Paul.
