Hate? That's a Republican characteristic. I think she's terrific, and
just the woman I want to see capture the 2012 GOP nomination.

You see Harry, a statement like that tells all.

We have no idea who will be running in 2012. We have no proof of how
well or badly Obama will govern. We have no idea how well or badly a
Democrat controlled Congress is going to perform. We have no idea which
party or person will be best for the situation and conditions in 2012.

With all these unknows, and 4 years away, you are already lined up to
vote Democratic.
Takes a lot of wind out of your sails with regard to your advocacy of a
particular candidate.

Get back to me when the GOP candidates dump "social conservatism" and the
evangelicals. Until they do, I don't consider them fit for high office.
We've just lived through eight years of that nonsense...not again.


So, in other words, your "faith" in the Democratic Party is just that ....
sorta like belief in an organized religion, rather than in individual
ideals.

Ok. I understand now.

Nice try. My lack of faith in the GOP at the national level is partially
based upon its adherence to "social conservatism" and its dependence
upon evangelicals. There are innumerable other factors about the
"modern" GOP that are turn offs for me, and some of those are wrapped up
in what you are calling "Republican ideals." These include the
destruction of individual liberties the last eight years, the intrusion
into privacy, the opposition to abortion, the opposition to science, the
opposition to birth control, the excesses of corporations, wall street,
insurance companies, overly aggressive foreign policies, overspending on
the military, ignoring our crumbling infrastructure, and so on and so
forth, ad nauseum.

Oh yeah...the Republican governors consider Sarah Palin a leader of the
party. I would have categorized her as a national embarrassment.
