You want the Truth? I would have been willing to work with the Dems. Even accepted some compromises in the first couple of years of Bush's term. But the Dems didn't want that. They went into the gutter, made conspiracy theories the center of their politics and betrayed this country in time of war.

Now my attitude is to make them kneel down and kiss our butts. Not because I enjoy groveling but because they have convinced me they don't have one damn bone of decency in their bodies. I am now convinced they don't care about this country, they only care about power. This is why I think they should be forced to wander the wildness for forty years till they have all died off before being allowed back in the promised land.

They brought me to this point. they convinced me their souls were empty.

That's how I was, too. I was OK with working with Kennedy on the education bill, working out a compromise on the tax cuts, etc. And after 9/11, I was willing to accept that they wanted to work together to defend the country.

I will tell you when it all changed: when HIllary Clinton made faces during President Bush's speech to Congress about the Taliban and Afghanistan and then in that December waved that "Bush Knew!" headline in the well of the Senate.

Once that happened, it was nothing but obstruction and whining and back-stabbing. I am done with them forever.
