Oh,there are enough of them to play the game, believe me, that's why they are still "playing the game"......That is why this game has gone on for so long.....

Let's see who returns to DC in the next election ...

Mc Cain ?

Bush might have used the term "racist", I think "demagogue" is a little better actually.

I still don't like 'demagogue'. To me, 'demagogue' implies a 'rabble-rouser' in a position of power; a leader, or a public figure, attempting to 'whip up' his listeners into a frenzy of anger, xenophobia, or 'class resentment'...I do NOT believe a private citizen is normally ever termed a 'demagogue', regardless of what his personal views are.

And I STILL think Bush would have used the term "vigilante". He liked that word...and 'racist' is a term not often heard from those in high office.

Only my opinion, of course...
