Try being me... I don't have a party at all. The Libertarians are rabidly anti-war, the Republicans are rabidly anti-liberty, and the Democrats are just rabidly anti-Republican. It's like I told you that time you and I went to lunch just to make Kevin jealous, I wonder if the only answer is a new party that doesn't exist yet, and I have to start it. It's just too bad I'm old enough to know better now, or I'd do it.

So, we disagree on what "this war" is, but could we agree on what it could be? "Redeployment" sounds a bit too much like "Vietnamization." I'm not sure that's such a great plan. I don't imagine you and I could ever hope to meet in the middle on domestic economic policy, but I'd let you in on the ground floor of the party I'm never gonna start if you'll sign up for our foreign policy of world peace even if we have to force it... You could be our John McCain, struggling to change us from within, hoping one day to convince us that eating the rich is the way to prosperity for everyone... but the rich, of course...

We'll call it the MKM party, and let everyone argue about whether you or I is the first M. I'm including Kevin, of course, because everybody knows I'm just an alternate screenname for him. It'll be great, mostly because it's never gonna happen. You in?
