This is a joke, right?

2008. Potentially the most important year in American history, and the Republican Party has decided to stop opposing the Democrats, and instead opted to emulate them.
This is the year of the death of the Reagan Conservative - at least in the greater public arena, and our country can't afford it.
What just happened in Iowa is this; the American people were given a bowl of rotten fruit, and asked which one they liked better, the rotten peach or the rotten apple. The truth is, we don't like any of them.
They all stink in their own particular way.
