You certainly do give that impression.

Neither do I. But I see far more of it amongst the Republicans.

That’s not my viewpoint. I don’t think the right is evil, and I don’t hold the left as saints. Life is never that simple. Please do not assume I am simple as well.
The Republican Party has too much power currently. No party should control both Congress and the White House. Power leads to corruption. I used to have respect for the Republican Party. Now… not so much. To much emphasis on retaining power at all cost, too little regard for what is best for the country.

Is that all you can come up with? Old, empty, tired sloganeering?
They may raise taxes, but could it really make anything worse? The economy is going down the toilet, the Republicans cut taxes for the very rich, and they are bleeding money into Iraq like it’s going out of style. I don’t see much in the way of fiscal responsibility there.
No one is cutting and running from the War on Terror – except Bush. He has done nothing to make the world safer from terrorism. He hasn’t gotten rid of Bin Laden. (Remember him? The guy responsible for 9/11?) And his little war in Iraq has made us much more hated by the Muslim world, replaced a secular government with an Islamic one, and done nothing to stop terrorism. Now he wants to drag us in to another needless war in Iran! I will fully support anyone that has a plan to get us out of that mess and actually go after… you know… terrorists.
If Bush has committed impeachable crimes, then he should be impeached. Notice I said “if”. We don’t know currently because the Republicans are in charge and won’t even investigate.
And when all else fails, using immigrants to scare White America to vote Republican is a good strategy…. “Oh my god… can’t let the Democrats get power – the brown people will get ya!”

If you think America wants a continuation of the mess we’re in, you have your head in the sand.
