("anyway" in the fifth graph should be "any way.")

Anyway, you might ask him what he's done to oppose the "bad" republicans, and who he thinks they are.

And IMHO, the Bush administration has far surpassed the Nixon administration in criminality. Bush makes Nixon look like a kindly old uncle.

At this point anyone who supports Republicans, even though they privately disagree, is an enabler and must share the guilt. Any decent person would renounce the Republican party, like Jim Jeffords, until the neocon/fundamentalist coalition that rules it relinquishes control, something that goes against their nature as much as recognizing individual rights.

There is a danger in using insulting euphemisms such as Repuglicon. In debate, it opens up an avenue of straw men your adversary can hurl at you to establish prejudices on your side, i.e., that you're a "hater." Personally, I just say "republican" in the anticipation that that word will take on all the negative connotations associated with their crimes. Look what they did to "liberal.":eyes: You've got to always hold the high road. (Not that I do.)
