theocracy on the rise. not only do republicans hate blacks, but they hate jews, muslims, hindus, atheists, agnostics, mormons(ok, i can kind of understand this :)), and buddhists. in case you're too lazy to read the article here is a telling snippet:
Tom DeLay, soon to be House majority leader, told a church group that: "Only Christianity offers a way to live in response to the realities that we find in this world — only Christianity." He also said he was on a mission from God to promote a "biblical worldview" in American politics.
see why we need separation of church and state? see why the current government is bad for our country, and the world?
moving on, i give trent lott 1 week before he is either demoted to an inconsequential position, or is out on his ass entirely. i give bush 1 year before the economy is so far in the shitter that his chances for reelection become nonexistant. i'm far more confident about the lott prediction than i am about the bush one since i've learned to never underestimate the stupidity of the american public. remember that strom "segregation is good" thurman kept getting reelected for around a half century.

I hope you're right about Dubya. The thing is, I don't see a viable Democratic candidate coming out of the woodwork. I'm glad Gore's not running again though.
