Don't you folks recall Ted Kennedy's half dozen dinners at the White House the first couple months of Bush's presidency? After each one Kennedy was smiling just a bit more broadly when he emerged. Now we see why. The neocon Republicans are Trotskyite communists who began taking over that party through stealth in the 1960's. Once Rove and Cheney explained that to Kennedy and told him to be patient, Ted was all smiles. And now, 6.5 years later, the federal government is more than twice as big as it was then (a constant of the Democrats is to expand government), there is mandatory psychological testing of school kids and forced drugging of those who have "problems" (New Freedom Initiative, a Republican act, a Democrat dream), a national I.D. card is coming (Real I.D., a long-sought-after social control device of the Democrats), the borders are wide open and illegals are pouring into the country while Bush says he'll legalize them (a WET DREAM for the Democrats, who want to destroy and the then rebuild social services). I mean, there is NO DIFFERENCE between Dems and Reps at the national level. They are ONE PARTY, and to pretend otherwise is self-delusional. And they all serve the World Bank, period. It IS time for a change, but the change won't be found within the controlled two-party system.
