Republicans control the Presidency, both houses of Congress, and
increasingly the courts. The Democrats can't even get a hearing for their
agenda. That doesn't mean they don't have one. When it comes to
environmental issues, there is absolutely no question that the Democrats
have more responsible positions, because the environmental "movement" is
part of their constituency.



Yes, true ( not so sure about the load of crap part :-)

But, my real point ( guess I shouldn't assume as much as I do ) is that
people are NOT helping to rid the country of Bush and Thugs with all their
name calling.

If we want some that have voted Republican to change that in the future it
is NOT 'good politics' to start by declaring that we believe anyone that has
ever voted Republican is 'dumb as a rock' or that "I hate Republicans" ala
H. Dean. If I say, "rw is a ****ing idiot" does that open you up to
listening to my agenda and reasons for wanting you to support me? If I'm
courting your support is that a smart start?

"We" are in a hole now and have no way out until the next round of
elections. I'd prefer MY representatives to be there fighting for me, even
as they lose ground, in a manner that will bring them respect not whining
like babies. Why? because I believe it is a good practical tactic and use
of THIS moment, when little else is available, towards reversing the current
stupid trends.
