If the CP had taken a strong stance on the WOT, the two party system in America would be headed for extinction.
It's still all about the WOT.
If there would be a terrorist attack in our country, such as a nuclear bomb exploded in a ship in New York harbor or on the Potomac River as close to our center of government as the terrorists could get it, even the 'rats would wake up.
But that still wouldn't address the gasoline prices that the Republicans have done nothing about since the gas shortages in 1972 or the illegal alien problem that the Republicans have had since Bush II got in office to address.
I agree that things would be even worse with the 'rats in charge but they are plenty bad enough with the Republicans in charge.
Its not dark yet but its getting there.
