Politics - Republicans and Bush

Remote Image Posting by Hello

Don't let my looks fool you. I'm a Republican at heart. One of the not so rare breed that the current administration likes to call "RHINO's - Republicans In Name Only." They do that to marginalize folks like me that disagree with them. The RNC has never been the party of inclusivity, despite what they'd like you to believe when they televise the convention. I am a fiscally conservative, socially moderate, cussedly independent in my thinking and I fail to spout the party line more often than not.

I have come to the conclusion that re-electing George Bush and Dick Cheney & Co. could be the biggest mistake for the future of this nation that the electorate could have made in the past 50 years. Far more damaging than electing Richard Nixon to a second term, despite all of the signs in evidence of mental instability, political shenanigans and wrong-doing on a scale unseen in the White House for a long time. More damaging than allowing the Democrats to overwhelm President George Bush in 1992. More damaging than all the crap foisted upon this nation by the Democratic presidents and Democratic Congresses during that same time period. Far more damaging than allowing Ronald Reagan a second term, despite the evidence that the assassination attempt had left him with lingering mental issues which were later exacerbated by Alzheimer's disease. This could be as earth shattering as dropping H-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.

So, am I a hypocrite? A RHINO in truth? That's for you to decide. But before you take ME to task, I suggest you take the following quiz and see whether you have a problem with reality, stupidity or hypocrisy yourself. It starts about six paragraphs down the entry.
