What I have in mind is the Party which got us involved in Afghanistan and Iraq yet steadfastly refused to raise taxes to foot the bill, all the while sandbagging the monies for programs already authorized. What about their ongoing shenanigans over the budget? What are they trying to do, destroy the US's fiscal credibility? How about stem cell research? The one thing which has the promise of regrowing limbs lost in wars, those wars which the Repulican'ts seem to like so much, and we mustn't do it. It's reminicent of the Nazis driving all the "Jewish science" out of Europe in the 1930s. Because of that, the US became the premier country for science in the world (the US Air Force general who originated and ran the ICBM program until about 1965, the program which developed the technology that eventually got us to the moon, was born in Bremen, Germany). This stem cell mania is deja vu all over again. India and China, to mention only a couple of countries, are salivating in the wings. I don't like lots of the things the Dems have done, nor many of their policies, but the GOP has been too anal-retentive (and far too reactionary) over the last two decades.
