I sympathize with your position, but let me be clear. I don't ask anyone to "trust in the GOP." I just ask them to recognize that the GOP is always somewhat less bad, and usually much less bad, than the Democrats. And that this matters.
Yes, it does matter. The GOP is trashing the USA slower than the DEMS. Personally, unless there is a Tancredo running in 2008, count me (and a lot of conservatives) OUT. A SMART GOP would pass anti discrimination legislation NOW precluding discrimination in job hiring for Native Born Americans who do not speak a FOREIGN language.
