Which is the 'do whatever feels good' party?
I was reading US News & Wrld report yesterday at the doc's office.

It was talking about the decline of America; a reader, who must've been age 200, blamed the 'do whatever feels good' people going into the White House for causing AMerica's decline.

Who is he referring to? If you ask me, he's got to be referring to Reagan. If not Bush II. Nixon?

1. The democrats are traditionally the do what is right for america party
But I think there are member of both parties that live by do what feels good to them.
The repukes are the "All about Me" party.

2. Cheney said it "felt good"
...to tell Leahy to f___ off. Maybe they're talking about the Bush administration.

3. Cheney also told O'Niell that Reagan proved that deficits
don't matter... ino, if it feels good - spend it (and/or hand it over to your cronies with NO accountability to the tax payers footing the bill...)

4. And of course there's Iraq...
...George W. Bush pumping his fist in the air and saying "feels good" immediately prior to announcing the ill-conceived invasion to the world.

5. being told cheerfully, that he slept like a baby
on the eve of amassing a huge military assualt that would result in many civilian deaths... no sign of conscience, there...

Notice that they never speak gravely about the huge cost of war (lives, etc.), and how they soul searched and came to the conclusion that despite the huge costs... this was necessary... instead urging us to pretend everything was sugar and nice and we should just go shopping... ugh.
