Put the cap back on the glue. Maybe your head will clear up.
Excuse me, rdb3, I just had to rescue 2Ds from himself.
Yes, in some ways, Bush is better than Gore could be. In other ways, he's indistinguishable, though. The education bill, CFR, and the Patriot act are all things that I would have expected out of Gore. The pandering to illegals is another. The "Homeland Security" position is something that only a democrat could have dreamed up before Bush came along.
As far as getting candidates on the ballot for Congress goes, the GOP is a lost cause. Their state organizations are rotten to the core and absolutely subservient to the national committee. People like Rudy Guiliani and Liddy Dole are going to be as good as the GOP gets from now on, mark my words. Watch for them to spike the guns of their few good conservative incumbents in the upcoming races, too.
