(I think they were already wiped out by 1985 anyway.) :-) I guess I'm easily amused, but I find his rants against [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=88464\|"those radical sons of whores"] while praising other members of the same party rather funny. Enough on this stuff from me. Have a good weekend! Cheers, Scott.

As noted, there are historical Republicans I greatly admire. As recent as the early 90s, when I KNEW the Republicans were wrong, they did not induce disgust. Clinton induced disgust. Somewhere in the Clinton years the entire Republican effort just seemed to degenerate in a fiendish, counter-revolutionary rage against the social change of the 60s. It's almost like a shameful thing for them to admit that people need real help, not "opportunity". The help they need is to be allowed to feel worthwhile by working and contributing - it's not much, but it's beyond the Republicans to understand what this means. -drl
