Or to repeat myself, the current form of Republican is just a renamed Southern Democrat. George Bush is Lloyd Bentsen without the savvy.
Spanky: "I think Less is even more libertarian because I don't think Less would support the US getting involved in any foreign wars and he would end all zoning laws. At least that is the way he used to think."
Not quite. I have always agreed with the need for security from within and without to some degree. Now, however, I would opt for cheaper and more effective forms of addressing our enemies than the NeoCon's proven expensive and ineffective ones in Afganistan and Iraq (although nothing has been more ineffective, inefficient, ridiculous nad harmful abroad and within than the 80-year failure that is the so-called War on Drugs). I lean more towards better funded intelligence than armed services, and the use of assassination instead of the blunt instrument that is an army, navy or air force.
