Reply #24: I wince whenever someone mentions...

[Q]

...the phrase 'conspiracy theory' because I realize it's an attempt to discredit the messenger instead of discussing the message.

Evidence? How about five years of the Bushie RWingers screwing us and the Democratic party doing little more than simply taking it?

I remember watching McCain giving a speech on the Floor, touting the Bush line about Iraq and essentially framing an attack as a cake walk. He's as much as a warmonger as Bush and Lieberman. Birds of a feather.

I'm not suggesting that there are NO sincere moderate Republicans. I'm saying that they have no power in this totalitarian regime to make deals...especially when it comes to stacking the courts for Bush's base: the zealots and corporate masters.

I'm just amazed that after five years of lies, deception and blatant corruption that Democrats still think they can negotiate or compromise with these fascists. It boggles the mind. I used to think it was just cowardly Democrats making deals to advance their careers and stuff their campaign donor's pockets...but now I realize it's simple complicity.
