Exactly. And what essentially has become the Bush reign took over and changed all of that and look where we and the republican party are now.

And doncha just know the GOPe will fix it all again for us with Romney?

I can't think of another alphabet agency we don't already have, but I'm sure they'll "surprise" us with several.

And if they don't, obama II will.

Regardless of who wins and we lose, maybe we'll finally agree it's time for a third option: an opposing political party.
