This is not to say that one could not find an equally long laundry list of vices within any political party... So maybe it is not the most accurate example but based on Fox News, I will stand by it for now :-)Eric Gavaletzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13667179644195835418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326096.post-11087962637679104022009-07-21T06:10:49.303-07:002009-07-21T06:10:49.303-07:00There are good things that (at least in principle) the Republican party stands for: Individual resposibility and personal liberty, to name a few. <br /><br /><br />Personally, I hope my kids (whenever I have them) learn to think for themselves, and if they do, they&#39;ll probably disagree with me on a number of issues.Mark P Neyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12682378026396276822noreply@blogger.com
