Who’s going to be your next bogie man, or will you continue to cling to the same one? Who is your conservative champion and what has he/she done?
Obama's a nightmare, but acting as if Bush wasn't a first class disaster is the same mindset of denial that led to the shellacking the GOP suffered this year and in 2006. You can't begin to address a problem until you first acknowledge that you have one. Surely even Bush must have learned that from AA.
I’m pretty tired of the lawyer-bashing. I run a small business too. It’s a law firm. A lot of lawyers do the same.
Government is about making and enforcing laws. Lawyers are the experts in this field, which is why so many politicians were trained as lawyers. Of the Presidens, 25 of the 44 (including President-Elect Obama) were lawyers. It’s quite a distinguished list, including: Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Polk, Lincoln, McKinley, Taft, Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, and Nixon.
It seems to me that there are far more lawyers in the leadership of the Democratic party than among Republicans. This might explain why Republican candidates seem to have such a hard time communicating their positions, which generally are far more popular than the Democrat’s positions. Lawyers and salespeople study and practice persuasion and argument.
