If you honestly believe that the administration did not get a substantial
boost in their power centers as a result of 9/11, then there is no point in
continuing any debate.

What is pathetic is that you change my emphasis to meet your own needs.  I'm
not the one saying that the current administration is worse at fixing things
than the other side.  That's all you.

What you havn't proven to me with all your vitriolic denunciations of the
liberal party is that the conservative party is a better choice.

I wasn't aware that we had democrats in the seat of power for the last 60
years.  GHWB, Regan, Ford, Nixon, are all republicans and two of them won
reelection.

It's amazing how such liberalism was able to gain such a foothold, what with
the guardians against liberalism always knocking down their doors.

I agree.  The problem is that both sides have poisoned the waters.  That's
why I'm looking for something new and different.

I've heard people categorize the Republicans as the "Daddy Party", and the
Democrats as the "Mommy Party".  That might be all well and good, but there
comes a time when we cut the cord and leave both behind if we are to grow
and evolve.
