I have yet to see Ionesco, Scott, Sider or others post anything favorable from the republican perspective.

Rest assured, if I see anything from the Bush presidency I find both admirable and noteworthy I'll post about it...

Right now? I can't even say that they're firmly against torture. Which really should not be much to ask.

As for my lack of posting about Democrat shenanigans, basically right now they don't matter - certainly to me (you may have noticed I'm not American). They're disunited, disorganised, lack focus and clear messages, and have no obvious leader or even lead coterie. Plus they're not in power in any Congress, Senate or WH. What's to post about?

If it's any consolation, I do post occasionally against the British Labour party, who are left-ish wing. You may not realise that Blair was once a dyed-in-the-wool socialist, and is still probably more LW than me. This means that I slam his economic policies, his social policies, AND his authoritarian leanings, disdain for parliament and dragging us into a completely fruitless (for us) war with Iraq.
But since few here have probably even heard of the Labour party, still less care about it, I hardly bother :)
