And he is absolutely correct. The leftist Democrats taking charge right now would be a disaster for America and the world.
Crawling over broken glass here if I have to to vote Republican!
Unfortunately Jim, there are more than a few wobbly republicans that aren't much better.
Have you ever noticed that there is a direct correlation between what a leftist wants, and whether or not it's good for America? On virtually any question, from whether we should adopt Kyoto, to supporting abortion, to tax policy, or Iraq, if it's good for America, then a leftist is against it, and vice-versa.
This explains why it is possible to argue about "taxing the rich", and how that will hurt the economy, and completely prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's a bad idea, yet the leftist will still be for it. Why? Because doing the best for the economy and helping his fellow citizens isn't what a leftist wants. It's the destruction of the hated United States that they really want.
I didn't believe that it was possible that leftists could harbor such deep hatred for the country until a Christmas party a few years ago. A co-worker, after having a few adult beverages, was commenting about a TV show that portrayed a part of America when he proclaimed loudly, "I hate this country, I really do". He repeated it several times, and his reason for hating the country? A dumb TV show.
Leftists won't generally admit it. But like Madeline Albright who lamented that it was a bad thing that the US was the only superpower, they really, truly, genuinely hate this country. If you understand that fact, then everything they say and do will then make perfect sense to you.
Amen.
The Democrats of our childhoods have vanished.
The Democrats today are a destructive force to the America that we have known. They are not the Democrats. They are a nearly niilistic leftist party that has usurped the title "Democrat."
