"The WMD question is one that has the potential to seal the doom of Democrats. I'm sure the Bush administration has more than enough ammo to sink them the question is why haven't they did it yet? It may be shrewd calculation or it might be because they don't want to be forced to deal with Syria yet. I'd be wary if I were the left, the trap has been set."

Let me pose another possibility. We have a 2 party system. This would sink the Dimocrats. The President has renewed his call for bipartisanship cooperation. Is he simply giving the Dims one more opportunity to return to the table as a viable opposition party?

I, for one, would prefer to continue our 2 party system (as long as they're both pro American and only disagree on substance) instead of having one strong and several very weak parties. If the President should share such an opinion, I could see he using this as one final opportunity to bring reason to the table; especially since there's a unique possibility that this damning evidence will come to the public soon.

I know, why give the Dims the chance to reform? There's something to be said in that regard, but I still believe two strong National parties that are founded on a love for America is our best bet.

I doubt you'll find much disagreement with that sentiment around here. I completely agree with you. However, the Dems ceased being a strong, America-loving party long ago. They need to right the ship, and quickly.

I agree about the 2 party system, however I think the Rats are too far gone. I think what you're seeing is the Republicans become the Dems of old, and we Conservatives being forced out to become our own entity. I just heard Hannity on the Rick & Bubba show say he had re-registered in NY as a "Conservative Party" member. Evidently they offer that option in NY, and I wish it was offered here in NC. I feel like the Republicans can't back away from us quick enough, and it's evidenced from the spending in Washington, to our Light Rail project here in Charlotte. I think our Republican leaders spend too much time reading the old media, and not enough time paying attention to the new. My apologies to Congressman Billy Bob.

But the most important debates in American history were conducted at the founding, between conservatives and libertarians. A liberal party has no place in America, and could never do anything but despise American principles.

As an ex-Dem who left the party as the party went further left, I too would like to see two strong national parties. But as a currently strong Republican, I would like to see the Dems go back to the days when they were actually concerned more about national security than being the pathetic bunch of careerist, craven, appeasing scoundrels that most of them are...Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman being excepted.

Hell, I'd be happy if we had one! Instead we get creeping extra-constitutionalism.
