Losing the Party

There's a great bit of political commentary linked below: read it to understand why this libertarian Republican will never support Bush or his ilk again.

Despite my overall agreement with this piece, I would like to note, for the record, that I still wholeheartedly concur with Barry Goldwater's famous statement that "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of justice no virtue".

Give us a chance, Democrats will ask Republicans, so you can regain control of your own party from its lunatic fringe, and give it back to its own roots, in Goldwater and Reagan, of Dole and Ford. You've been had, conned, and you have one last chance to get out of it, to take your party back.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
