An excellent find. Well written and to the point. Of course, I have been a Lott detractor since the "Impeachment Trial" and glad to see him gone but find the writers opinions to have merit. All until the last sentence.

"For the sake of America, let’s hope they can get their act together in 2003."

I have given up any hope that, in the main, the leaders of either party really have "America" first and foremost in their minds while "ruling". It seems, and sadly so, that most politicians at the national level these days make decisions based upon what is politically expedient towards the acquisition and maintenance of power first and if those decisions enhance the Republic ... well that is just a bonus.

We should all have "hope", especially during this season, but to be honest any hope I have for our Constitutional Republic, based upon the current crop of "leaders" is slim at best.

Merry Christmas!

I agree, but hope springs eternal.

Thanks for the comment, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
