The Republicans are the Democrats of the 1960s. So what's the big deal?
Nothing's changed. They're still the same old big gov't centralisers, warmongers and Constitution haters.
"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." -Howard Zinn
The Republikan Party, by its own nature, can only produce a Barry Goldwater when they are in the minority. Then they will use the "Goldwater" only to fool the people into giving them the power.
When they are in power and in the majority, they produce GWB's, Mark Foley's and bad legislation.
We have been snookered.
