If there is one telling element of this thread, it shows clearly the paucity of conservative republican thought - actually 'thought' may not even fit because a five year old child would have a greater depth of knowledge than the 'no, you are' position of Willow et al. Is it any wonder conservatives are such failures at all things except whining? Whine on Cons if it makes you happy.
"The collapse of the Bush presidency, in other words, is not just due to Bush's incompetence (although his administration has been incompetent beyond belief). Nor is it a response to the president's principled lack of intellectual curiosity and pitbull refusal to admit mistakes (although those character flaws are certainly real enough). And the orgy of bribery and special-interest dispensation in Congress is not the result of Tom DeLay's ruthlessness, as impressive a bully as he was.
This conservative presidency and Congress imploded, not despite their conservatism, but because of it." "Why Conservatives Can't Govern" by Alan Wolfe
