Liberalism is the enemy here, not Republicans who need our help (sometimes therapeutically rather than financially).

p>What would you small 'r' types prefer to complain about: your almost totally conservative representative, or a liberal majority? br> -- P. Aaron Jones br> Huntington Woods, Michigan /p>

Conservative Republicans supporting, e.g, Hillary RODHAM Clinton is the political calculation of a Neville Chamberlain, and would lead to analogous outcomes. If the GOP nominates a closet liberal a/k/a "moderate," then the course of action for us is to … relax. Sit out the 2008 Presidential race and stand by for 2012 or 2016. As the "mainstream" GOP leadership continues to lose elections, their grasp of the Republican Party reins becomes ever looser. Let's not forget that were not for Jimmy Carter, there may not have been a President Reagan -- so we can take comfort that a Clinton / Obama Presidency will reacquaint the American people just how "whacko left" the post-McGovern Democrat Party has become.

p>Additionally, there is something to be said for having the Democrats in charge when Social Security goes cash-flow negative, which is sure to occur sooner than projected. It'll be hard for them to demagogue their way out of that one -- just imagine a Republican TV ad with a piggy bank labeled "Social Security Trust Fund," with a set of hands turning it upside down, shaking it looking for money, as the voice-over says: "On ____, 20__ the Trustees of the Social Security announced that it has gone 'cash flow' negative, and that in order to keep providing Social Security benefits they'd have to start drawing on the Trust Fund. But when they went to the 'piggy bank' they found it was empty. Somebody raided the Social Security Trust Fund, and there's no cash there. Who took our Social Security money? The Democrat Congress and President ___." br> -- Thomas C. Wigand, Esq. /p> p> NEW COLOR BARRIERS br> Re: Lisa Fabrizio's Bigotry and Sports
