right now, the 'names' in the Republican party are people like Bush, Ashcroft, Tom DeLay, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Orrin Hatch...all of whom scare me witless as to their ultimate motives and goals. A few, like John McCain and poor ol' Colin Powell are stuck trying to figure out how to ride out this wave of extremism so they can be 'reasonable' conservatives again.

We see the Moslem world being subverted by dangerous men using a distorted sense of religion, morals and 'destiny' to wreak havoc on others...why can't most of us see a similar thing, aided & abetted by ultra conservative Republicans, happening here?
