Rome fell.

I was listening to NPR this morning and they had interviewed some Republicans in regard to what's happened with Foley and his naught chats with young paiges, and they said that no matter what he did, they will still vote republican, continuing to vote for their conservative representatives because what Foley did does not speak for the whole party.

Now weh, weh, weh weh wait.
If anyone sets the example of what it means to be a member of a party its our representatives(the ones with respectivd parties at least.) Their actions, and decisions are what define what it is to be identified by a party, whether we like it or not, (i mean if you don't like it dont claim a party....i don't most of the time.) And yeah, what they do in their personals lives is besides the point, after all I do think they made too big of a deal out of Clinton in comparison to what Bush has done without admonishment...but the republicans have been doing all sorts of crap this past term so if this Foley thing doesnt change their minds then what in the world has to happen! Already we've had, murder, war, racism, bribery, lies, cover ups, and now Bush wants tot take away fair trial from detainees, I mean c'mon! And no offense family who reads this, I love you too much but am still confused as how to smart bright people like you support a party like that. WHAT WILL IT TAKE!

Republicans used to stand for smaller government; looks like party priorities have shifted quite a bit.

now i'm not sure that "rome fell" is the best title for this entry!

i think that the GOP's attempts to sell itself as america's moral arbiter will be less perusasive to its christian fundmentalist base this november.

there is a hilarious clip from the daily show last night (10/5) of president bush saying "now, i'm having a hard time trying to connect iraq to the war on terror." i dont know where stewart got it from--but its hysterical.

see you soon.
