That's a valid observation about the GOP, the necessity of hiding their real agendas from their constituents. That has been one of their identifiable traits as a party since the party was founded.

As for betrayal, the hallmark of the GOP is the consistent betrayal of whatever constituency they have gained by subterfuge. That is their most consistent trait.

About betrayal....

Brownie74 has indicated he/she believes Bush is dead set wanting this....I believe likewise...to the point of being a 1 timer like the old man....

That said, isn't it interesting that Phil (not over my dead body) Gramm and Dick Armey, both power houses from Texas have opted not to fight the battle against Bush by running again....seems like that should tell people something...it's common knowledge, you don't support the party, or the President and you're done.....I believe the handwriting was on the bathroom wall....
