Reply #18: There are Republicans and Democrats....then there's that hybrid-

[Old and In the Way]

criminals. None of us win when they are in charge.

I still think your going to be further marginalized in the coming years. I know Democrats have been accused of backbone issues here on DU, but I think Republicans of the sane middle are rolling over for this pResident.

If thoughtful Republicans, such as yourself, are really concerned about a future as defined by the current empowered Republican leadership, I don't know why you aren't joining us to fight this tyranny. We could change the whole agenda of this country tomorrow, if the sane faction of the Republican Party make a tactical decision to renounce their Party membership and move accross the aisle.

When we rid ourselves of this criminal cancer, you guys can return to take back your Party and we can go back tothe good old days of arguing about policy minutae. :-)

BTW, you prove that we are able to have a thoughtful dialogue with people of differing opinions. I appreciate your posting here and I hope your participation encourages others of your political persuation to join in this needed conversation. :-)
