This article pretty much sums up my disappointment in the Republican administration. There will be those who will say "at least the Dems aren't in power". At this point, would we really know the difference? Why isn't the President spending his "political capital" where it counts?

I definitely agree. I'm giving thoughts to switching to a third party just because I'm fed up with the Republican party on different important issues. I'd rather have Republicans in office than Democrats of course, but it's getting to the point where there's not a whole lot of difference.

I'm not going third-party, but this article contains much truth. W much better than Kerry, but all in all a grand opportunity for real reform missed by him and his Republican Congress.

Perhaps two more points to consider; Kim Jong Il and the Islamic Republic of Iran are assembling fission weapons or will be shortly on His watch. And the Pakistani nuclear physicist that pimped out the technology is running scott free. That disturbs me greatly.

We've got seventy years of socialist indoctrination to undo, not only in government, but in education as well. We could attempt to implement our entire wish list, and be voted out in 2008. We will not turn this ship around in a day or a year or even a decade. I don't know about anyone else here, but I'm in for the marathon, not the sprint.

There is only one party...The sooner conservatives realize that the pubs are only closet dems the better.

Whether rogues develop fissable materials should be moot, overshadowed - no - dwarfed by the stern promise from a unified voice that a single detonation in U.S. territory would be so costly they'd never overcome the effects inflicted by the U.S.

But our lawmakers languish in ambivolence and can't even place judges on benches, telling the world we simply don't know what we're doing.

A third party is exactly what is required to elect her Thighness...unfortunately our real choices at the moment are bad and worse....and IMHO is WHY she will be maintained as a viable alternative.....

Agree - Sending this article to my Republican representatives. As if it will do any good.

But he sucks at everything else. Him and the Congress and everything they've done.

...like teaching English and grammar to Conservative bloggers.

Bull!

The GOP has had control of Congress since 1994. That's ELEVEN fricking years, not overnight, and we still got the same big government.

I've been waiting for Laz to post that one. I cleaned up one spelling error prior to posting, also.
