The time to "take a stand" was during the prelude to the Republican primaries.
Now, that course of action is analogous to turning your daughter over to the Boston Strangler because her current boy friend got a tattoo, never takes a shower and spends too much time playing video games.
The next Congressional primaries are less than 2 years away. Hold your nose, vote AGAINST the greater evil in 2006 and start grooming better Republican candidates for the 2008 primaries NOW.
Sound advice. The Republicans are often inept but at least they understand what the real issues are if we are to survive. The Democrats have weird dreams of power and socialist utopias and they just cannot accept reality. The Democrats rejected one of their far left leaders (Lieberman) because he at least understands that the country is in danger. The Democrats are led by far left crazies who cannot comprehend reality.
