So "Republican culture of corruption" is a Bush-like mantra, right?

Yes it is,
and, frankly,
I'm upset with several things I see in the DemCamp including trying to use
tactics the Republicans have mastered without having the mastery. BoZo
the Dem party chairman was a huge mistake, imho, as the ONLY thing he knows
is negativity.

I'd love to find a candidate I can vote FOR, and I've said before on ROFF he
does NOT have to be a Democrat. That said, I think the last 5 years have
harmed my country more than any similar period in nearly half a century, and
I blame the people pulling Bush's strings.

I'm not anti-Republican .... but I admit 'you guys" are making it difficult
to stay that way ... I HAAVE voted for Republican, probably will again.

I saw somebody, a Rep that was the minister at Regan's funeral I think they
said, last night talking about the grave dangers we all face as a Nation,
because of Rove/et al seeing the demographic value of being 'faithful' ....
he said lots of things I agreed with, none I'd fight in a 'let's compromise'
environment, many of them 'anti this admin, but pro this country "... all
from a Republican's point of view. Let's face it, Tim, .... I admit that
the Dems have a BoZO chairman ... can you fess up to the fact that MOST
republicans are voting party line far more than what's really right? Come
on, you know it's true, don't ya?

Heah, here's another one from an interview on PBS a few days back ... it was
in my deleted files from one of the many many posts I write but never post.

On potential damages that could result from the inquiry into the NSA
surveillance, to that surveillance and to the nation, I present a Republican
:-)

"SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: All I can tell you is that the ultimate damage that I
want to avoid is a constitutional damage in terms of checks and balances. I
want to fight this enemy. I want to make sure our president and our military
surveils the enemy. I want to know if American citizens are collaborating
with the enemy. We can do that. We must do that.

But the biggest thing that can happen, to me, as a nation is that in the
process of fighting the enemy, we give up the processes that makes us free.

I think there is plenty of room for surveiling the enemy and providing
protections to American citizens who may be caught up in a network of
conversations. So there's a lot of harm that can come. There's two harms:
Letting the enemy know what we're doing. We need to make sure we don't do
any more of that than we have to. The other harm, equally important to me,
is that we destroy a constitutional balance that's worked for 200 years. "
