That's why they're pushing this travesty now, so it'll all be forgotten by 2008 and we'll come crawling back as if nothing happened.
I know what you mean. They (Rove) hope we forget OR the Democratic choice is so bad, we have to vote. Personally, I loose either way. America is GONE. There will be a place with the name USA, but it will be a third world dump, social welfare state with no hope of recovery. Clinto, Ted Kennedy, Martinez, Bush, JJ and Fat Al will all be on the currency -0 worth -0- BTW.
I do not know the name of the dude, wrote a book in 1770. He stated that after 200 years a Democracy reverts to a Dictatorship - usually after the people realize they can vote the money out of the Treasury.
As I see it, the Political Parties pander to the electorate via the Treasury, and think they know more than the electorate. Soon we will have a President who thinks s/he knows more than the Political Party and that is the end.
