Mr. Thompson,
I might point out that I have been a Republican since 1970. Now I am certainly not one of the “new” Republicans. My party left me after Ragan. I have more of an association with Goldwater or the Libertarians since I don’t see that much difference between the current state of the Republican party and the Democrats. Appartently I am not alone as contributions to the Republicans are dismal and for the first time businesses are actively beginning to court the Democrats. This is all thanks in part to this stupid “war on terror”. This concept has robed us of our rights, privacy and security. We are currently in the hole for 7 trillion dollars thanks to Bush and he and the Democrats keep spending money like there is no end. My only hope is the Hillary is elected. That will kill the country that is already tottering on the brink with the collaspe of the dollar and the pending economic crisis. Then, maybe, the South will be able to obtain its freedom once again and life will be good!
