I'm not deluding myself. Kerry is very different from Bush. He's not the Second Coming, he's a career politician.

Bush is such a radical nut whose weakness of character allows him to be used by puppet masters like Cheney and Rove. They're very clear about who they owe their allegiance to and what their plans for the US are:

- Their Base: the top 1/10th of 1%, 'the haves and have mores, or, as I call you, my base'
- Transfer wealth from the majority of Americans to their base via:

1. War: noncompete, costplus contracts to HAL, Bechtel, et al. Oil profits to oil companies. Defense profits to defense companies. War is a huge profit maker for thir base.

2. Medicare bill: 30% increase in drug profits, no ability for government to negotiate prices. Guaranteed profit increases to BigPharma.

3. Tax Bill: transfer burden of taxes from the ultrawealthy to the middle class. Transfer burden of taxes from the coupon clipping, dividend receiving dilettantes to the working middle class families.

ETC.

These people make no bones about who they represent and what their goals are. They will stop at nothing to achieve those goals.

What I cannot understand is why anyone who is not part of the BASE, puts up with this behavior. I cannot understand why the middle class (and upper middle class) Republicans can't see through the 'gay marriage', 'cultural war', 'terrorist under your bed', 'Vietnam service' bs to see what the true goals are.

I'm very disappointed in the Republicans. They are giving their children's financial future to really rich people they don't even know. WHY?
