Barack Obama

From Greg Laden
According to a Washington Post/ABC poll, only 21% of Americans identify themselves as Republicans. That is getting dangerously close to the percentage of Americans who believe they have seen UFOs or alien craft or have been abducted by aliens. I think they may be the same individuals.

Gee, could Fox news and Rush losing their devotees?
Or, is just plain reality setting in.

My grand parents were republicans, my parents were republicans and I voted for Eisenhower. Since then the grand old party has lost its true conservatism. Then conservatism meant fiscal and social responsibility. Now it means cut taxes and spend more money (irresponsible Reaganomics), pander to right wing extremists and sell out to corporate interests. Obama extended a hand to the republicans and they refused it now they are marginalized. The democrats are free to trillionize the budget. Oops, did I say budget? There ain't no budget! All we can do is hang on to the handle bars because the brakes are gone and there are blind curves ahead. We might as well enjoy the ride because we cant turn around and we cant get off. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
