“open.salon.com — The Republican Party is dead. Yes, I’m saying this before the election. Even if McCain wins, which could happen if Obama supporters stay home thinking the election is in the bag, the GOP still has lost its way along with a substantial number of members. While high-profile Republicans like Susan Eisenhower and Frank Schaeffer have made the headlines”

George W. Bush.  It wasn’t really BUSH that killed the GOP, but the GOP base and their unwillingness to separate from myriad failed policies of George W. Bush.  Lets tick off the disaster:  Iraqi, Gitmo (suspension of Habeas Corpus), Abu Graib, constant inflation of the dollar, beating the war drum against Iran.

This just in:  U.S. Attacks part of Syria & Pakistan with NOTHING to say to anyone… including the American people.

Its the ass end of 2008.  The Democrats could sweep the elections.  What will they do with all that power?  Will they deliver the final death blow to America’s economy or will they have the wisdom, audacity and hubris to implement the catalyst that raises America to a new greatness.

I am a hopeful optimist with the goggles of a realist.  The Democrats have been just as careless with our civil liberties, economy and military as the Bush executive branch has been.  So I am skeptical of their ethics but hopefull that they will do the right thing.  If we dig our selves out of this one, it won’t be without a lot of dumb luck.  I hope Obama is that dumb luck.  If not, the next thing you will see on this site is a dead Donkey.  I will leave no punch un-thrown.
