You are sooooo right Bob. IMHO, that's the real reason the republicans won. the democrats have cowered for 3 years (the press too) under Bush's "if you aren't with us, you are against us." Anyone not supporting the war, anyone questioning actions or directions, is labeled unpatriotic. "You won't need these, thank you very much." Picture Bush's hand grabbing the balls of a dog with democrats written on the side and ripping them away. I only wish I could draw!
Here's the truth. Anyone not questioning government, giving any administration a blank check, is the greatest traitor of them all. Sorry for the all caps, BUT THIS IS WHAT OUR COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Questioning government is the key to freedom.
What I really want to see though is the battle between Old Guard Republicans and the new power of the Religious Right. I have great respect for many of the tenants in true conservatism, in fact I am very fiscally conservative. But this new religious fundamentalism that seeks to legislate our bedrooms, let alone our lives, is in direct contradiction to the values of so many old white men with money.
