Say what you will about whether or not you agree with them, but these policies certainly do not fit David Brin's partisan mockery of Republican Party that I quoted above. OK point taken. The president and his party have proposed some things. I do not think Republicans are unfeeling monsters. Bush's education initiatives are in my opinion wrong headed but that is the nature of political debate. Republicans clearly have compassion and concern but that their policies do not reflect these. I actually think Bush is sincere about these things but they do not receive appropriate financial priorities to be enacted. They become cynical excuses when not backed by action (money). _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
