I agree with you there!  Too many Dems try to be like republicans.  If you
want a republican please vote for one...many run quite effectively by
appealing to the frustrations of the masses.   People don't like ersatz
Republicans.  Democrats need to be loyal to their beliefs if they feel
conservative ideals are what the people want and they feel is the right
thing to do then they should switch parties.

Amazing the crap that Bush can do though.  He's coming to Pittsburgh and he
will raise $1 million today and going to remove steel tariffs!  IN
PITTSBURGH no less? And he'll raise the loot he is asking for.

Gullibility is reflected in this war.  People still feel Hussien was
involved in 911 and no WMD has been found and nobody really is holding BUSH
to account.  Was their war about liberating Iraq?   There are many places
that need liberating are going to invade Syria, Iran, and a whole host of
African States NEXT?  Doubtful.  But people has this in their heads about
911....gullible.
