Mistaken Identity
Are we so naive as to believe that all liberals ought to be painted with the same stripe? How would you conservatives react if I assumed Arlen Specter, Rick Santorum, and John McCain were cracked from the same mold simply because they are part of the same party? John Kerry and Theodore Kennedy have called for a filibuster against Amuel Allito; however, over the weekend, Barack Obama joined Charles Schumer and Harry Reid in denouncing the filibuster as a legitimate maneuver. These Senators have argued that if this nominee is worth filibustering, they ought to have done a better job convincing the American people. Conservatives ought to remember that there are well thoughtout, moral, hard-working men and women on the other-side of ideological spectrum. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060129/ap_on_go_su_co/alito;_ylt=As7HkRdGU02gw2_601gHW1us0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3OXIzMDMzBHNlYwM3MDM--

"United We Stand" is supposed to be an underlying theme in America. But the liberal/conservative label groups have almost succeeded in preventing this. They have forced the vast bulk of the populace into an unsavory decision. To pick between 2 iconoclastic view points to the exclusion of all else.
What's even sadder is that those at the top of both of these label groups give only a cursory representation of their constituents. Those leader's true loyalties lie with the special interest lobbyists who pay for their re-election.
I would agree that there are some of those on the left. But, honestly, it's hard to take the left seriously when clowns like Al Franken are writing your books and losers like Sean Penn are taking your side. I'm not saying there aren't weirdos and losers on the right. But when if Al Franken was writing books for my political party, I'd think twice about where I stand.
And congratulations on getting Bush. With his rise in government spending, he pretty much ended up a democrat.
