Ok, am I wrong for taking offense here? Apparently my Republican party is criminal in nature, a war-mongering group of "filthy rich" people who are class elitists. Since I am a Republican, I have to assume that this applies to me, as well as the countless Republican politicians that I have known personally on a local, state, and national level.
Guess what - I call "FOUL".
I come here only intermittently, and that is because I have a difficult time wallowing through the sarcasm, thinly-veiled insults, and efforts to use an overload of information as a club with which to beat the poster's message into the brains of President Bush's "co-conspirators".
Guess what? I'm a Republican, and I believe that:
1) Abortion is the woman's choice;
2) Government has no business mucking around in religion;
3) Big Oil is bad, and alternative fuels presents real economic opportunities for our country's future;
4) We need less taxes, but corporations should bear a slightly larger tax burden;
5) If you commit perjury as President, and get caught, maybe you shouldn't be President anymore;
6) If you lead a nation to war using intelligence that you KNOW is wrong, then maybe you shouldn't be President anymore;
7) If advisors close to the President are convicted of a crime, then they should lose their jobs;
8) We created the mess that was Saddam Hussein, and we needed to step up to the plate and fix things;
9) Most of our foreign policy goals in the Middle East, Korean Peninsula, and other areas, should continue to be addressed through diplomacy
10) Even though I make less than $50,000/year, I can still vote Republican
