LOVE that you think the NYTimes is right, RMan, and that you have the audacity to put your agreement with the looney left in print.
Reveals who you really are.
The Right went so far Right and the Left so far Left they met somewhere (I was going to say at Ross Perot's Funny Farm a la Rush, but I'm restraining myself.) :0), ohio. It had to happen. Law of Physics or some such.
I'm a conservative and I'm a realist too, who still happens to support the Prez. Especially when he's right. Like on foreign policy. When Bush is wrong, I speak out. Free speech is what political dissent is all about.
When Reagan was in trouble after Iran-Contra he brought in Howard Baker and some other fresh faces. Bush would be wise to follow Reagan's decisions in that regard. New blood, brings new ideas.
Can you not debate the points RM made?
