Well, sorry Doug, I guess that you are just going to have to live with my conclusion that you are a hypocrite on this issue. Quite simply, I have found your arguments that somehow Bush is a traitor working on behalf of our enemies, whereas the Repubicans have unacceptably impugned the patriotism of various Democrats to be utterly unconvincing.
>This is way beyond petty >bickering about who is the most patriotic. Indeed, it is a far, far, far, worse and far, far, far, more serious charge. Indeed, it is a downright despicable allegation. It is worth noting that the same bit of evidence that led you to charge President Bush with treason did not even make the headlines on most major news outlets today. There's still a couple of days left for this to change - but right now you appear to be to be a big time outlier on this issue. Worth considering while you toss the charge of "treason" around so lightly. Lastly, in regards to Saudi Arabia - I agree with you that Saudi Arabia is a real problam. I think, however, that it would have been suicidal to American interests to apply pressure to the Saudi regime so long as Saddam Hussein remained in power. Quite simply, one Party is for the transformation of the politics of the Middle East, the other Party is for the status quo, or at best incremental change, in the Middle East.
