A Dr. Who quote that explains the GOP perfectly

"The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views...which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

I also have about 98% of it taped from the first doctors and have all eight seasons since it restarted. Could watch the entire series or virtually all of it from my library. Of course it would take a couple of months watching it every day for about 8 hours.

There is a lot of profound writing in that series and it it the longest running sic fi series on the planet and it watched world wide. The GOP reminds me of the Daleks.

It does further the Milton Friedman, Pinochet economic ideals. In fact it is a mastery of free trade lingo and trickle down, Voodoo economic requirements. It's a perfect trade deal for any neoconservatives and the GOP. So, I can understand how some people might think Obama is a secret RepubliCON.
