There's a big difference in a few of a Party trending left and the majority of a Party already being there.
Just how do you propose to deal with the Dems if they control Congress? Sounds like to me you'll just sit at your keyboard and complain louder but it will be too late to do anything about it then.
I, for one, could accept the massive medicare spending, No Child Left Behind, etc. I think GWB has done a good job on judges, which is critically important, and I applaud him for vetoing the embyonic stem-cell funding. He is, I believe, a beloved CIC.
That said, I cannot bring myself to vote for any republican who is in favor of continued massive inflows of impoverished, illiterate, non-English speaking immigrants. I don't believe it's crazy or unAmerican to see that as an impending disaster for our country.
The worse it gets, the quicker Joe six-pack is going to wake up realize his country is being sold down the river.
