No doubt that the Republicans start the culture wars....OTOH, the Democrats start the class wars which get support on this thread. Personally, a pox on both their houses, but I have to say, the Republicans have a better track record of turning their gutter politics into election wins. Slacker

The Reps crank up the culture wars, yet again. From the Post, the Howard Kurtz column. "The Anger Factor Kevin Drum, now blogging at Mother Jones, looks ahead to a McCain administration: "John McCain has obviously decided that he can't win a straight-up fight, so he's decided instead to wage a battle of character assassination, relentless lies, and culture war armageddon. So what happens on November 5th? "If McCain wins, he'll face a Democratic Congress that's beyond furious. Losing is one thing, but after eight years of George Bush and Karl Rove, losing a vicious campaign like this one will cause Dems to go berserk.

If it happens again, with the lunatic brigade newly empowered and shrieking for blood, Obama will be another Clinton and we'll be in for another eight years of near psychotic dementia." "
