The definition of insanity . . .
Mary Starrett
. . . is repeating the same behavior and expecting different results. We must be certifiable because that's what we did in 2000 and it appears that's what we'll be doing again in 2004.Ms. Starrett has much to say. It's worth a read to discover her thinking. ‹grin›
Republicans have controlled both the executive and legislative branches of government for most of Bush's last four years. That's the first time the Grand Old Party's been in charge to that degree for almost 50 years. You'd think that would be a slam-dunk for our side. No such luck. In the last four years we've watched as First Amendment, Second Amendment and Fourth Amendment guarantees have slowly been eroded.
We wanted to make sure the carnage of abortion stopped - so we voted for a Republican. The killing continues.
We longed for a president who'd stand up for our God-given Second Amendment rights. Instead we got a president who has systematically made keeping and bearing arms more difficult.
We voted for a Republican because we wanted a reigning-in of federal spending. We now have the most bloated federal budget in the history of the Republic. No longer the party of fiscal discipline, the R's have become de facto pig farmers with all the pork projects they've funded. That used to be something we pinned on the D's.
We voted for a Republican because we wanted better schools for our children. Instead we got the most intrusive federal program to date in a scheme called 'No Child Left (Alone) Behind'.
Yes, the GOP had a wonderful opportunity to get us back on track. They blew it.
