Reply #11: She was on the Diane Rehm Show

[frogbison]

earlier in the day, on NPR. She spent a lot of time applauding Bush and his policies, so don't hold her on too high a pedestal. She did, however decry the extreme conservative direction the Republicans seem hell-bent in going. She mentioned some things about the Republican Party that she liked. Among them was less Federal intervention in the needs of the people. She said something like, "Republicans want people to help themselves. If that doesn't work, it's always better for the help to come from as close to the problem as possible." (state's rights).

Further, she said that GW said (and she believes him!!) that he wants to leave the country's air and water cleaner than when he entered office.

I trust her about as much as I do Senator McCain - or any other Republican, for that matter.

Like Diogenes, I am still looking for a good Republican....
