Granted, it could be elitist and patrician (the Rockefellers were in it) but at least people had brains and by todays standards it seems almost progressive. In the wake of Libya, a friend emailed me this Gerald Ford TV commercial. Wow. How things have changed. Easing tensions, making sure we are at peace. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9SVr4uTtFo<br />Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855171851801011788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-70433416607195888382012-09-13T12:07:40.394-04:002012-09-13T12:07:40.394-04:00We have to continue to fight the mess these ideolo...We have to continue to fight the mess these ideologes have started.

Even the Republicans have taken him out to the woodshed. Maybe you're right. Maybe this will prompt a bit of house cleaning in the RNC.

Were some <i>rational </i> conservative leader to network amongst his <i>rational </i>peers, they could form such a party and let the batshit crazies wither and die in the currently <i>irrational </i> GOP, as George Will predicts. A Dem landslide would accelerate that process.Pfalz prophethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10465623376468902861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-49751493766469793572012-09-12T21:07:47.226-04:002012-09-12T21:07:47.226-04:00Susan - Yes, Mitt will continue to put his silver-...Susan - Yes, Mitt will continue to put his silver-coated foot into his gold-plated mouth - meanwhile, we need to be vigilant and watchful while the people in his background plan and scheme dirty tricks.

I'll leave "W" alone when he's in prison, where he and Rumsfeld & Cheney belong for crimes against humanity. You've correctly identified that it wasn't "just" Bush's fault, but then none of those go-it-alone rugged individualists stood up and took responsibility for their own actions - they hid behind a wall of secrecy & privilege & national security lies ... accountability, like taxes, are for the little people in their world. Enough will be enough when the prosecutions are real and the verdicts are read ... when justice for all actually means something again.Marthenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-8497603673140196852012-09-12T18:21:00.788-04:002012-09-12T18:21:00.788-04:00Bex - I am, of course, suspicious.
