<<<<You are right. Clearly, the Republican Party is filled with old-timers who want to get back to what they regard as the "good old days". And the pursuit of that futile goal will ultimately prove to be their undoing...>>>> Old timers like Steve Largent, J.C. Watts, Tom Campbell, and a hundred others. What a lamebrain. <<<I have spoken to a few young people and their view of the Republican Party is almost unanimous -- the party leaders have absolutely no vision of the future. Here we are, on the threshold of the new millennium and yet, the Republican leaders find themselves languishing in the 1890's, and what's worse, feeling good about it!>>> Fade in : "We see Dipy the Pinhead frantically scurrying around college campuses, feverishly finding young people who have not been hood-winked by liberal politicians into accepting free money, free education, free everything. Suddenly realizing that he isn't going to find any he asks them anyway....'Young sir, what is your view of the Republican Party?" "Uhhh, they suck I think" they reply Dipy scratches the response on his second hand notebook "respondent replied that the party leaders have absolutely no vision of the future, here we are on the threshold of the new millennium (like that makes a damn bit of difference) and yet the Republican leaders find themselves languishing in the 1890's and what's worse, feeling good about it" Uhh excuse me Dipstick. I thought it was the great Bill Clinton who was supposed to lead us to the sunny shores of the new millennium. All we had to do is vote for them to be the bridge to the 21st century. Good gravy, thanks for putting a toll booth on it!

We have to start thinking about what is beyond the Republican Party. Because the void that is left is too great to be assumed by just one party. It open up the possibility of the "Greens" and that is scary in itself, although maybe I could learn to live with it. The reaction could be so strong as to propel Hillary into the office....now wouldn't that frost them? It's a law of physics that the Republicans can't understand..."...to each action there is an equal and opposite reaction." the price they will pay for this will be beyond belief. I actually feel sympathetic towards them...they seem incapable of rational thought...like a cat working on instinct. I would enjoy this if it wasn't so scary in the intermediate term. In the long-term, we always figure our problems out, so from that vantage point I have no real concerns...but for the intermediate term it could be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry strange and not at all what the country is accustomed to.
