After I saw...
...Bob Dole tell President Clinton that he was going to make sure
that Clinton's budget proposal got no Republican votes in the Senate
even though it was on balance good policy because he wanted to be
able to blame the Democrats when the economy turned south...
...Newt Gingrich denounce the Democratic Party as the party of
immorality all the while meeting his sweetie after her choir practice
at the National Cathedral...
...Bill Kristol demanding that the Republican Party oppose health
care reform "sight unseen" because it would be very bad if a
Democratic proposal became law and improved America's health care
system...
I did conclude that there are a lot of hate-filled villains in the
upper reaches of the Republican Party. Wake up and smell the coffee,
Gautam.
