Unfettered Republicanism ..... THAT is the problem
Because of unfettered Republicanism, we have a looming recession.

Because of unfettered Republicanism, we have a war with a nation who never threatened us

Because of unfettered Republicanism, we have growing rolls of Americans with no access to health care.

Because of unfettered Republicanism, we are an international pariah.

Because of unfettered Republicanism, we have a media that violates it charter to serve the public good.

Because of unfettered Republicanism, we have corporations with the rights and privileges of humans.

Because of unfettered Republicanism, we have an accelerating march to environmental Armageddon.

Because of unfettered Republicanism, we have begun to hate others without a bit of second thought or remorse.

Please add to the list of what unfettered Republicanism has given us.

And then back to our collective work ....... picking the best person to beat them this coming November.

4. Let them never forget

Bush is a Republican and it is revisionist to call him anything but. People are turning away from Bush not because Bush has gone away from Republican ideals. No, they have finally figured out that Bush is a paragon Republican and Americans say "Hey I'm not one of THEM!" Thanks George!

5. That's exactly right
So many of them - and not just the presidential wannabes - are running away from their boy.

This shit we're in is not just the work of President Moron. The morons on the Republican side of the aisle enabled and encouraged and indeed PUSHED the guy to do the shit we face today.

Unfettered Republicanism ..... at all levels ..... IS the problem.

6. ...we actually argue in public about what torture the US can use, much less that we even torture.
God help me, it still boggles my mind.

11. "...the rot of almost all evil." Don't correct that--the rot is the product,
and they are both the fertilizer and the product.

Maybe your typos was right on the mark.
