One of the great mysteries that I can't understand is how/ why Republicans
see diversity of opinion and opposition within the Democratic Party as some
sort of weakness. I don't know how many times I've seen the lack of
uniformity within the Dems pointed out as though it were a problem. It
ain't ! it's a strength.

Actually, the ability to think for oneself and reach 'non-partisan' opinion
is very American ... you know ( well maybe not ) ... free thinking, ...
honest.

Here at the California state level the Republicans have gone so far in their
love of lockstep and FEAR of independant thought that the Rep
representatives all signed an agreement to always vote the same ... or be
banned from the Party !!

Hint ... that is NOT "a statement of our national values" but it IS very
Republican Party at this stage of their decline into mindless rightwing
goosestepping.

Congrats to Specter for an intelligent change of Party ... AND for having
his own mind and using it.

The GOP has officially become the party of the whackjobs. There
is no room in today's GOP for moderates, fence straddlers or
compromisers. The GOP will be a long, long time in the political
wilderness.

I need to send some cash to the Sarah Palin campaign. ;-)
