I agree 100% with your comments re: the Democrats. A truly pathetic bunch for the most part. Unfortunately they get a lot of their funding from people who share most of the Bushie goals -- only differing in tactics to a certain extent.
Perhaps the best thing the Democrats have going them is that the Bushies have deeply alienated the CIA.. The CIA has a way of bringing down Presidents who screw with them.
