Republicans -- The party of the Liberals (?)
Some of the folks here seem to think so.

"There is only one party...The sooner conservatives realize that the pubs are only closet dems the better.
"

.....

I definitely agree. I'm giving thoughts to switching to a third party just because I'm fed up with the Republican party on different important issues. I'd rather have Republicans in office than Democrats of course, but it's getting to the point where there's not a whole lot of difference.

It sucks to be a Republican.

A real Republican. A conservative at heart who believes in principles, who believes in a small government and a free people and a secure homeland. It really sucks to be one of those.

Because we're being betrayed left and right.

We've given the Republican Party the White House. We've given the Republican Party the Senate. We've given the Republican Party the House. We're about to give the Republican Party the judiciary.

And what we've gotten in return is a bigger government, a deeper deficit, a meaningless border and more welfare.

We've gotten everything we've ever voted against.

George W. Bush is a good president when it comes to fighting the war on terror. And he's a good president when it comes to talking about God. But he sucks at everything else. Him and the Congress and everything they've done.

--------------------

Now if only they realized what a poor job Bush is really doing on terror, and that we should not have a President basing policies on their beliefs on God.
