Wayne, I've changed my vote on the stupid bit. With this time limit on the recount, I think the Republicans showed that they were pretty smart the way they flim-flammed that law into place. Evil changes. Republicans were started as the party of equality for blacks and now the Democrats have the equality vote. I guess time changes everything. It is hard to believe that the party of Andrew Jackson is anti-gun. <g> That comment about WWII was one of many that contributed to Truman being considered a lightweight before he showed his credentials as President. Macarthur fans think he continued to be a lightweight in Korea.

I thought Evil and Stupid applied to both parties. Should also apply to the media for freezing out the other parties in the debates.

Wayne - If you're going to reference Mises' posts, at least get the info right. -g- "...In addition, both parties need some mass appeal. The Evil Party aggregates victim groups, school teachers, trade unionists, and so on, while the Stupid Party specializes in speaking for, and immediately betraying, small business and all those Bubbas out there. This is why Republicans can be a bit cheaper. They only have to keep the right bankers and defense contractors happy; they don’t have to do a darn thing for their supposed mass base. By contrast, the Democrats have to hand out at least small rewards to legions of the downtrodden, an expensive undertaking which only leads to more articulatin’ and aggregatin.’ Just ask Reverend Jackson. It’s hard work..." Regards, Don
