Reply #4: "The spoils of war" [View All]

This spoils of war only started leaking into the way we transferred power when Cheney stepped in. Before then, each president promised to bridge the difference between the parties. Not since Bush & Cheney came into office. They don't even disguise their intent.

Cheney said after 2002 when they gained Senate seats that they could do whatever they want because "it was their due."

Bush says he has a mandate when he doesn't and he is only going to heal the wounds by working with those who follow his agenda.

AND proof positive that Bush has shut out half of this country is that he has required loyalty oaths and first amendment corrals anywhere he appears.

That's fine, because isolationism is never a good place from which to rule. They will get progressively more corrupt and it will filter to all the other members of congress who are Republican. Believe me, their decisions will eventually do harm to those dumb rednecks and that's when the tide will turn. So, Purple first, then steel blue, then sky blue.
