Exactly. The Dems can be as awful as they like, because the Republicans are always awful-er. The Republicans can be awful-er this time than they were last time, because the Democrats have spent the intervening period emulating their awfulness. So each gets more awful with each click of the ratchet. -- Michael Smith [email protected] http://stopmebeforeivoteagain.org http://fakesprogress.blogspot.com http://cars-suck.org "You have heretofore read public sentiment in your newspapers, that live by falsehood and excitement; and the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters, the better." -- W.T.
