Dig, I hate to say this but your reply on any political issue is 100% predictable. I knew almost exactly what your response would be. You know why? Because there are valid reasons both for and against nearly any point of view and as a Democrat, you present the Democratic side without ever saying "however", "but", or "here's something which might contradict what I am saying" though. You don't care about what is. You only care to show that Democrats are right 100% of the time and Republicans, 0. Oooh, the blame game.
I paint both sides with the same brush because they are. What? You think human nature doesn't apply to half of Amreicans?

and just how did I prove that they do? Because I said that this wouldn't happen under Clinton's watch? I have reasons for believing this is so. The Clinton administration understood the danger posed by AQ and they took it very seriously, unlike the Bush team whose pre-911 priority was online pornography, and whose post-911 priority was Saddam Hussein. The Clinton team was interested in generating and reacting to actual objective intelligence, the Bush team told the intelligence community what they wanted to hear and then ignored everything else until they heard it.
I'm sorry man, but the fact is that since the Gingrich-led 'Republican Revolution' the GOP has been led by regressive fanatical ideologues more interested in forcing an agenda of cultural devolution than they are in responsible government. They're incompetent and dangerous and I think it's past time that the Dems took the gloves off called a spade a spade. The Rush Limbaughs and Newt Gingriches of the world can only survive so long as they remain unchallenged.
The reasonable, more ethical GOP you're wishing for has been stolen and subdued by these people, and John McCain's are few and far between. Look at who your party nominated for President and tell me that's the best the Repub party has to offer, and I'll tell you it's a morally and intellectually deficient organization.
