Well like it or not, looks like Bush is gonna bring it to life the same year he leaves office. I guess it's his "goodbye" present to us for putting him in power for eight years. Quite frankly I'm fed up with Bush for his massive spending, lack of action on the border, and now this. Come 2008 I'm probably going to leave the Republican Party and just vote for some useless third party. At this point I don't see how voting for either a Republican or Democrat in 2008 is going to make any difference, your only option is how fast do you want to descend into socialism?

It is not about the speed at which we are entering in to socialism. It is about the honesty about entering in to socialism.

With the Democrats you get a forthright, honest, in your face approach, ie "We are socialists. Deal with it."

With Republicans you get this insidious, evil, horrible attempt at deception. ie "We believe in Jesus. We don't really want you to kill babies. We don't really like fags. We want to kill some Muslims. We love America. etc etc etc." Yet, all the while they act as big govt, no child left behind, no border secured, nothin left untouched by govt, scum.

Elected Republicans suck worse than Democrats because they are not as honest as Democrats about their desires to run your life. Republican masses suck worse than Democrats because they are so g*d damned dumb they can not see this and leave, or change, the party.

Republicans prove their dumbness when they yap and wail in response to truth told bluntly like this. If they were brighter they would know political power comes one decision to not be a Republican at a time. Instead, in a sad, disgusting display of stupidity, and as a perfect example of abject cowardice, they stand in their "see no evil, hear no evil" monkey pose and claim "but, but I've got to vote with the party in order to win."

Of course, if I'm wrong then the answer is even worse. Perhaps, Republican rank and file simply can't tolerate a Free Republic living under the Rule of Law as set forth in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Actually, I think it is as much the latter as anything. Basically, those of us that wish to live free just have to understand we are truly, totally, queer. Very, very, very, very, very few people in the United States actually desire the limited govt prescribed by our Founders.

Dont wait until 2008 vote straight libertarian in 2006 and cast a vote against a senator and congressman that voted for this orwellian p.o.s. bill that goes against almost every single one of the first ten amendments

how fast do you want to descend into socialism?

Preferably not while I'm alive and kickin'! I'd love to be able to die naturally and not fighting a revolution when I'm really too old and not able enough to do this. But if do it I must.... ~sigh~

Yeah, we got played for fools the last election, didn't we.

We supported Bush when the media picked apart his National Guard record, we stood by Bush over the "Bush lied" lie, the leftwing 527s that attacked him, the attack on the Swiftvets, etc. What did we get in return? Bush supporting commie Arlen Specter, refusing to denounce the Dems for who they are, and return to business-as-usual.

I received a GOP fundraising letter from my local GOP office - I replied that I was sick of it and will support the Constitution Party unless the GOP get its act together.
