Now that you mention it…

"I’m beginning to think that the only thing that may save us from the seemingly unstoppable conservative movement in its current, anti-democratic incarnation is an allegiance between ethical, traditional conservatives and real progressives, who share in common a respect for democracy, the Constitution, and civil liberties…"
...I think Shake's Sis is on to something. If the "ethical, traditional conservatives" could wrest control of the Republican Party from the gangsters and destructionists, we'd all be better off, too, but there's a dearth of such conservatives in evidence these days.

They're out there, though, as the joint appearance of Al Gore and Bob Barr demonstrates. It's just that without our help, they're even more ineffectual than we are without theirs.

In the fight to save Constitutional government in the United States, thought, 'my enemy's enemy is my friend' may be wise, if cautiously pursued, policy.
