Reply #15: Alliances are not required, though. [View All]

[AndyS40]

If Bob Barr, et. al. feel that Bush is a threat to liberty, they are free to act independently to remove him. An "alliance" is not required to vote on an issue that all factions independently agree with. I do not share your respect for Republicans but nothing I said constrains their independent action to clean up the mess that Bush and the Republican Party have created at the national level.

If they want to do the honorable thing, then let them be honorable and do it. If they want to earn the trust of Democrats if they feel working together is necessary, then let them earn it.

If things continue along their present course, the Republicans will simply go down under the weight of their bad policies and decisions. If in that eventuality Democrats haven't cooperated with them in such actions as we have seen up until now, we will, at that time, smash them politically. On the other hand, nothing requires Democrats to collude with the Republicans if events take a different course. One advantage in being a minority with no power is that of being able to take a stand and stick with it until the public comes around.
