"ROFL" just about says it all Mr. Radd.

No matter who wins in November, this election could easily determine the last Republican president... either George Bush or John McCain. In my life time the Republican party has been many things, but it has never been the utter laughing stock it is today.

It is impossible for me to take them seriously anymore, but I fear that we have at least one more Republican demonstration of "Shock and Awe" before the nation comes to their senses and throws a bucket of Holy Water on them.

Frankly I wish it could simply be another example of catatonic "green screen" oratory, live and on national prime-time airways, before the hypocrites attending in St. Paul. I just don't believe I will get my wish. We've had far too many evil, moronic, incompetent front men in the White House for that alone to do it.

But defections from the ranks of Republicanism are at a higher level than I've seen before. I haven't read enough history about the Whigs to draw many parallels, but the rapidly increasing number of X-elected Republicans and the party's capture by the evangelical heirs of Andy Jackson certainly suggests that the Republicans could actually "Whig Out"... if they have to face one more divisive issue like the Whigs of the 1850's.
