[The One and Only...]

Howard Dean for president. Right.

I'm not sure if you knew this folks, but Bush is actually spending more on traditionally leftist policies than any Democrat ever has. He also hasn't signicantly raised taxes to cover this extra cost, either.

For every Dove, there is a Hawk: maybe even a 2:3 ratio.

You see, Bush is smarter than the DNC would make you think. He knows, or at least his handlers know, that cutting government programs is going to get him taken out of office after one term (sad, but true). He also knows that more people care about tax raises than the budget deficit. It may seem that Bush is going to go down in a ball of fire, but the term "vocal minority" comes to mind.

In reality, Bush isn't tipping off anyone other than the die-hard left, anti-war protestors, and the few people who actually care about the deficit.

So, what does this all mean? Is the Republican party overrun by neocons? Is this all a clever ploy by the Reps to decimate the Dems enough to have a one-party system for a while, force the Dems to change their platform, and then slowly ween the people off of the government? Who knows.
