But like you said, sometimes they don't practice what they preach. And more than that, sometimes they get everything else wrong. And secondly, it's hard to teach a man to fish when he's in bed with a brain tumor or something. You know what I mean. So I also keep a foot on the Democrat side.Morkthefiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279117890216924918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635842948527974870.post-57534822498503725522007-10-16T14:44:00.000-06:002007-10-16T14:44:00.000-06:00I hate to say it but I am a Republican in name onl...I hate to say it but I am a Republican in name only now. At least how the party seems to presently represent my values. But neither does the Democratic Party wow me. <BR/><BR/>I dislike that the Republicans in Congress let Bush wizz all over the Bill of Rights with the warrantless wiretapping, even if it was in the name of stopping the terrorists plots.<BR/><BR/>I dislike that Bush apparently condoned the torture of "enemy combatents" which is against the Geneva Convention, and using a technicality to circumvent the applicability of the Convention as rationalization.<BR/><BR/>I am not even going to get into the Iraq war thing or the Antonio Gonzalez fiasco.<BR/><BR/>Yet the Democrats are too socialist much of the time. They pander to people just like the Republicans. I am pretty disenchanted with polictics on the national stage. <BR/><BR/>I thought that Obama was interesting, but I have begun to lump him in with the rest. I hate Hillary, but I don't think she could do much worse.Mr. Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131351643307288629noreply@blogger.com
