You know I have read countless numbers of republican responses to these threads. They say they are glad to be republicans ect, ect,. What I don't understand is with an uncalled for war in Iraq that was started with several lies , illegal wire tappings, illegal firings from the justice department, mishandeling of hurricane katrina, no-bid contracts given to halliburton, a tax break for wealthy, upper-class americans, and totaly ignoring the real war on terrorism, how can you be proud to be a republican when your republican president has crippled this country?

Of course, Republicans could take the Clinton presidency
and make a list of failures and mistakes. Here is what
I puzzle over: eastern kentucky Republicans are often
fierce in their belief "in God and country." I assume
the "God" they believe in is the one Jesus claimed. Jesus
blessed "peacemakers." I am no democrat, no republican,
no socialist, no capitalist...but I know this: when
polled, nearly 80% of Americans want some kind of reform
in health care that lowers costs and makes coverage
universal; our politicians, democrats and republicans alike,
say that that is "politcally not doable." Why? Because the
AMA and PHARMA and the insurance industry actually have
the power, and they don't care about who has majority in
Congress, as long as nobody fools with their riches.
