With Bush as the engineer, the Republicans are taking us over the cliff faster than the Dems.

You can't say that creeping (now sprinting) socialism is the fault of just the Democrats anymore. We have a Supreme Court composed of 7 Republican appointees. We've had 15 of the last 23 years in the White House--and all the judicial appointments that entails. We have a now one-party Congress. We have had for years the majority of governorships.

And yet, is the federal government getting smaller? Are there more or fewer laws now than, say, in 1981? Is the Constitution in better or worse shape? Are we more united or divided as a nation?

Not. Fortunately, some of us have memories that extend for more than two years. And I'm not anxious to see the Republican Party split simply to give the Dems a gift in 2004.
