Dan:
You state:
> More voters voted Republican than Democrat in the last election- which is telling.
Yes, they sure did and I was one of them! And guess what, Republicans lost 5 seats in the congress in a mid term election that historically they should have gained lots of seats!!
I am a registered Republican and have been voting for Republicans ever since I got my citizenship many many years ago. But I always believed that the party of Abraham Lincoln believed in fariness and honesty. President Lincoln in his second inaugural address stated the following:
"...With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan-- to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations. "
I ask you the following: Do you honestly feel do the so called Republicans controlling the congress at this time even know the meaning of the words: "just", "fairness", and the statement "to bind up the nation's wounds", and logical thinking and behavior?!
Regretfully most (if not all) these Republicans in the congress are nothing but a bunch of hypocritical losers whose eyes see nothing but hatred towrad President Clinton, and have commited themselves to do "whatever" it takes in order to overturn a democratic election which they "feel" they should have won in 1992, and 1996!!
It has come to the point that I am truly ashamed for being registered as a Republican and I am truly sorry for that. If Abraham Lincoln was alive today I have a strong feeling he would be ashamed of calling himself a republican knowing Tom Delay and Bob Barr, henry Hyde and the rest of the hypocrites belonged to the same party he so proudly lead.
