Man, this thread is dead without the Republicans. I listen to Rush for a while today, and he sounded (on a releative basis) seriously depressed. Very defensive. Ted, it struck me, one difference between the far right and the far left. The far (neo) right seems to deify their heros, they make them out to be almost infallible. They have Reagan as almost a God like person. Criticizing Reagan is like critizing Jesus. The far right wants a perfect world. They are idealists. The left, on the other hand, seems to accept that these are just folks, with human emotions, and mistakes. They figure let's muddle along as best we can, and try to make lemons into lemonade. Let's make incremental progress. Let's try to make the world a better place with baby steps. It seems to me to be a very fundamental difference in the way both sides look at the world. Black/White v. shade of gray. The goal is not really the difference, it's the method and the patience. We are not really that far apart (I hope). John
