I do solemnly swear to support and defend the party
against all enemies foreign and domestic. This is the republican party oath of office. Please share this with anyone who is not onboard with the fact that republicans and their "conservative" base do not give one flying dog fuck about the constitution. Their number one concern is the sustainability of their party which will, given the opportunity, lead to the destruction of our constitution. Bet on it!

1. You are absolutely right! And when they do that, I'd call it treason.

2. I wonder what the democratic oath is?
He's our president. We may hate his policies, but it seems to me we are relying too much on our emotions instead of giving him the benefit of the doubt.

3. you want to give him the benefit of the doubt?
after Iraq? Katrina? 9/11? Downing Street Memos? Illegal wiretapping? Stonewalling? Destroying our image? Lying about intelligence? Laying down on the job? Global waring acceleration?

You STILL want to give this unbelievable devil the benefit of the doubt? Why? Because he is President? Big friggin deal....people followed other despotic leaders, too....Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler, Saddam Hussein. Would you follow these guys if they were your President?

Your post is incredibly naive, and frankly, your attitude is destroying this country. You must think for yourself, follow the evidence, and stop living in la-la land where everything is rosy.

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" - Thomas Jefferson. .... Words to live by.

5. Your slam here on the Republicans is right-on and righteous.
Also I love the phrase "...do not give one flying dog fuck about the constitution."

I got a mental flash picture there of the Frist campaign...
