For those of you who haven't checked it out yet, the "running with lawyers" blog is hysterical. And, despite the following, Rufus the blogger is mostly non-political.
But one of his recent posts raises a question I constantly ask: Why isn't everyone a Democrat?
Discuss.
http://runningwithlawyers.typepad.co...s_america.html- But people who are behind Bush really baffle me. It’s just astounding to me that people can’t see him and those he surrounds himself with for what they really are. And don’t tell me what’s wrong with Kerry, I’m fully aware of what’s wrong with Kerry, but compared to the alternative how can anyone even consider Bush? I truly don’t understand red America. And despite what they claim, I truly believe my America is in keeping with the traditional ideals of America. Indeed, why is liberal a slur? Every political and social advancement that has improved the lives of ordinary Americans over the past 72 years has been the work of liberals and was opposed by conservatives. From Social Security to legal protection for trade unions to the minimum wage and OSHA to civil rights to voting rights to student loans to environmental protection, all liberal programs. I don’t get it.
