You forgot to turn on your sarcasm tag.

Bush and the GOP have
become the party of shills for votes.

I don't intend to vote for Bush. I intend to rent a van and a driver and get out the democrats to vote him out. We were better off under divided government.

The GOP and the die hard Bots on this board think that Bush can screw everybody right up until election day, and we will all return to the fold.

He's pushed it beyond the limits. In order to appear Clintonesque, he approves of CFR, assault weapon ban, HIPPA, new arsenic regs, more wealth transfer payments to low income and seniors, etc. etc.

Me, I'm not voting for Clinton lite.

Good points. President Bush cannot turn around the domestic socialist ship (Titanic) of state singlehandedly. In prosecuting the war on terror, he has done things that NO OTHER POLITICIAN would even think of doing. That is a direct result of his leadership and administration. To change almost 100 years of domestic socialist creep, is going to take a mindset change of monumental proportions (all the while attacked by the socialists within). The President has planted the incremental seeds to change the way of thinking in many areas...educational accountablility, social security, judicial nominations, etc., That is why WE are here. Thanks for your input.

We were better off under divided government.

And poll after poll reflects that same sentiment, that the country is better off with no one party hegemony.

Empirical evidence suggest that the country is better off economically under a Demoncat Executive branch and a GOP legislative. Of course, a Demoncat in any branch brings about cultural and moral ruin. But hey, the Libertine Party gets a hard on over that thought, so at least someone benefits from this whole deal.

With the huge influence the Fifth column/Fourth Estate has over the American sheeple, when they shill for the Marxist candidate and cast curses on the Konservative, it really effects people's outlook, and quite frankly it is the public's impression of what they believe the future holds that really makes the difference. In the case of American Politics, it is the case that Perception governs Reality.

So long. Your buddies at DU are waiting for you. What a loser.
