re: Maybe the few of national import that remain are too old to care. Some of them spoke out against Bush during the election but most of them were in their 70s or 80s. I'm talking people as well as politicians. And frankly, i don't think most Republicans in congress would list themselves as Neo's (even though their votes quality). If you walk like a duck; you talk like a duck and most importantly, you vote like a duck, you are a duck. John, they may say privately that they can't tolerate some of the neocon issues and Bush's attitudes but publicly they are pretty much in lock step. After all, Bush did offer some budget cuts only to have the GOP faithful in Congress eliminate many of them all the while wringing their hands over the deficits. Isn't their behavior similar to the Germans' reaction to Hitler.......privately, the good Germans said he was crude and pushy.....that they hated his swagger.......but then they were reminded that Hitler had accomplished some important issues dear to their hearts like stopping payment on WW I reparations. So publicly they supported him and his policies. Did that make them better than the Nazis? ted
