<p>Driver, you write beautifully…no matter that I don’t agree with you sometimes… :)</p>
<p>A democratic republic is indeed a beautiful thing; and such a one as this one…</p>
<p>Agreeing sometimes is all I ask…:)</p>
<p>I second driver’s comments but I would add that Democrats have made complaining an art form. When the Republicans were in the minority, I can’t remember the non-stop ******** and moaning I hear from Democratics. To be fair, it could be that since the big media back then was just (if not more liberal) than the media today, it may be that Republican complaints existed but were not disseminated.</p>
<p>The more interesting question, however is this:
Actually, it would be very easy for America to go back to the dark side and be ruled by Democrats. How? Simple. The reason Republicans currently remain in power is because Demorats are weak on national defense – they view terrorism as a police function and not as a war. If there is a significant terrorist attack on American soil and the terrorists entered the country from Canda or Mexico, however, that perception will change. The Bush administration and Congress have been warned repeatedly that our borders are not secure. If there is a terrorist attack like I describe, the American public will conclude it is time to give Demoracts a chance at national defense.</p>
