" A house divided can not stand against itself."

Today the Repblican party is virtually in control of the USA government. They control the House, parity in the senate and the Presidency. Some might argue that they control the the Judiciary as well.

The Democratic Party is out of power and is desperate to return to the halls of power where they can control the shots. With the failure of the Centerist wing of the Democratic party in 2000 and 2002 the Ultra Liberal faction of the Party took over. Howard Dean never had a chanch being an outsider, it was virtually preordained that Kerry a Kennedy accolyte would be the nomimnie.

Out of this desperation to return to power there is a win at all cost mentality. Many in the ranks of the Democrats will do or say anything even to the detriment of the country to get elected. This is what Zell Miller alluded to in his speech.

The danger that the USA faces in the world is real. It is very possible that events can spiral out of control and bring our very way of life to an end. It is this willingness on the part of the Liberal Democrats to roll the dice for political gain in the face of this danger that is reprehensible in my view. This again is what Zell Miller alluded to in his speech.

To be sure Bush and his administration are not perfect and have made mistakes. What administration under pressure hasn't made them. The Greatest President the USA has ever had, was called a Baboon by members of his own cabinet, it literally took him 3 years of grievious defeats and poor generalship before he found a winning general. That man...President was Abraham Lincoln.

The villians here are not the Repblicans or the Democrats for we all have a stake in the well being of the country. We have different views as to how we are to achieve and even what the well being of the country should be. What we have to realize is that the real villian is our enemy who is willingly to die for his cause which is to bring the USA down. The divisivness that our political system is experiencing is providing our enemies with an opportunity to do so.
