Political Cortex: Brain Food for the Body Politic

...sums up perfectly how much the Republican Party hates America:

Not so long ago the talk was all about the self-perpetuating machine the Republicans were constructing in Washington.

The image was of links in a chain of power that the Democrats could never break. The GOP, having captured both houses of Congress and the White House, could press lobbyists to hire only Republicans and give money only to Republicans. The money would guarantee dominance in state legislatures. The legislatures would redraw congressional districts so that Democrats could never win. And if anyone objected, too bad; Republican-appointed judges could be counted on to slap down any complainers.

In other words, the GOP has tried to establish a political monopoly at all levels of government that would deprive millions of voters of their right to be represented.

The 2006 election may be the last chance America has of reviving its ailing two-party system, a system that guarantees that political consumers have a choice, and a chance at having their needs heard and responded to.
