Where are the good Democrats these days? Zell Miller
has so little company, perhaps Joe Lieberman but that's
about it.

I say this as a concerned conservative. I hate to see
all Democrats align themselves with the radical
left. This makes no sense to me at all.

I agree. Perhaps it is a reaction to real Conservative Republicans aligning
themselves with the nazis on the religious right - neocons if you must.

I campaigned for Goldwater and for every Republican candidate until the
latest idiot came along because they stood for personal freedom better than
their opponents. Republicans appointed the Warren Court that defined
privacy from government intrusion into our homes and bedrooms as one of the
rights endowed by our creator mentioned if our Declaration of Independence.
Based on that right other courts cast down the religious foolishness
hampering America. Imagine not being allowed to tell your son or daughter
about birth control for fear of a 20 year prison sentence under the Comstock
Act! Imagine police bursting into your bedroom demanding your marriage
license. Imagine a married couple going to prison because police filmed
them in their own bedroom having oral sex. Imagine sexual repression so
vigorous that even in the 1960s Playboy was debating the existence of female
orgasms - because not one living woman in 10 had ever had one!

The GOP could have picked from any number of real conservatives in 2000 but
sensing Democrat weakness the neocons went into a feeding frenzy and
nominated a drunk and village idiot they could control. And we elected him!

Now we must all pay for that horrible mistake.
