This, I believe is the real root of the problem. Not the split itself, but the fact that the split is actuated along party lines. I know some of you may find this hard to believe but many, many Republicans are far, far too smart to really buy all that BS that Geo and the boys pitch about Iraq - but they feel duty bound to support the lads in Washington
because they're Republicans. The only possible alternative (in their minds) is to support the Democrats - and that's just plain unspeakable.
I'm trying to set an example here - I don't support Iraqnam and this issue is too big to ignore - so I can't support GWB. But I ain't no Democrat. I believe that there are a million iterations of me in America that just need to be prodded "out of the closet". I have far too much faith in American brains and free thinking to believe otherwise.
