#1 Thanks for posting this, Oldspook. I've been getting heartburn and BP spikes all day after reading those posts. "Cutting off your nose to spite your face," as I've read from some pundits doesn't seem quite an apt expression in this case, but I can't think of a better one right now.

#2 That's when one discovers that some people make a lot of noise that may sound right but is merely posturing.

Real men show integrity and stand straight even when storms are gathering.

I'm concerned by Republican fickleness in the last 2-3 years -- and by us not having crushed Islamofascist states beyond the Taliban and Baathist regimes. However no sane person would believe that putting Democrats in power would make things one iota better. On the contrary it's a recipe for short-term defeat and long-term hundreds of millions of WMD death. Maybe even ending Western civilization.

#4 It is a worthwhile topic to worry about - what would happen if the dems win control of Congress? You have to worry about a political party that is afraid of telling folks what they really are for and against as a party. They are like a stealth party. Other than cut and run, what is their policy about iraq and the larger war on terror? Do they think folks really believe they will hunt down Osama like Pancho Villa? Do they come out and tell you that they hold religious Americans in contempt, thereby thumbing their collectivist noses at our history, the history of Western Civilization? Do they come out and tell you that they would sell out our freedoms to global interests - that they agree with our enemy's hate America assessment that we are responsible for injustice in the Middle East, South America, in the world?
You are a fool if you think it is a great idea to get the Republicans attention by not voting to teach them a lesson.
