I've been all over this for a while (<a href="http://sonicfrog.net/?p=1760" rel="nofollow">Here</a>, <a href="http://sonicfrog.net/?p=1709" rel="nofollow"> here, and </a><a href="http://sonicfrog.net/?p=1678" rel="nofollow">Here</a> for example). I am glad I left the party when I did, especially as the latest torture memos are shedding an even more negative light on the previous administration. PS. I am just finishing Amity Shlae's "Forgotten Man". Very disappointing. I almost stopped reading it half way through. Very, very short on economic details, and reads more like a poor mans Joseph McCarthy screed, that talks mostly about who may have been communist sympathizers in the Roosevelt administration. I have a copy of "Team of Rivals" waiting in the wings. Derek. I’ve been all over this for a while (Here, here, and Here for example).

This is a ship without a rudder right now. The election is over, and now we need our Republican representatives to both work with the current administration to get out of this mess AND to stand guard to make sure that the country isn't put further at risk by a free spending President and his free spending legislative branch. This can NOT be done while launching petty, baseless personal attacks. My goodness, if that stuff didn't work DURING the election, how can it help now? It's time for a realistic third party, one that more accurately reflects the everyday American. Most of us are neither far right nor far left, yet our parties continue to trot out candidate after candidate that gets forced to pick a side. It is senseless. Couldn’t agree more.
