I agree with you both. There is little measurable difference between the republican and democrat parties. Conservatives are treated, in the GOP, like blacks are treated in the democrat party. Lip service during election cycles, and abandonment every other time.

People on the right are finally becoming emboldened. The War on Terror is an important mission, but it cannot entirely displace sensible conservative domestic policy, and war will not get Bush re-elected. Trust me, you're not going to see Uday and Qusay's corpses in any ads next fall.

It's time to make some demands. I just hope Bush is listening to his base, because people are getting upset, and I don't want Howard Dean as my president.

Precisely! And sometimes I wonder if we don't act just like them too: loyal to a fault. But how can we clean our own house without destroying it?
