RE: You sure don't sound like a Republican

Quote: 'You sure don't sound like a Republican. At least for the last 60 years"

When speaking of not "sounding" like a Republican, one must ask, what qualities are you reffering to. In my mind, I've been a Republican supporter for years, due to the fact that I thought it stood for hard work. A do it yourself and ask no favors type of party. This I hope helps to explain the critisim I have leveled upon the party like a gaunlet of truth in these threads and posts. I do not agree with Bruce's contention that it's out of sync with the last 60 years of Republican party.

Then (Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Nixon) the Republican party stood for small businesses, and hard working folk who weren't looking for handouts, now, I'm afraid it's all a big corporate orgy. Republicans now won't sacrifice a God damned thing, except other people's sons and daugthers, for their dominance and riches, it's completely and utterly dispicable, and I have contempt for the current leadership. One man's vision is no excuse for lives lost, not only American,but Iraqi as well. And for both sides of the election, I condemn both do the fires of hell for waging a political policy debate on the backs of dead soldiers. The continued support for a flagging war effort is beyond me, but the alternative is not a effective response either. But, to sum up my position on these issues, it's my contention that the Republican party used to stand for progress and responsilbity in conjunction, now it stands for nothing but arrogance and greed.
