If we end the Iraq thing now, as in 'poof- it's over', we'll have another 200,000 unemployed, with some medical benefits for a short time but soon to be on their own among us.
Suddenly civilians again, they'll be forced to readjust overnight. I doubt that's easy or even feasible without preparing (planning, Mr. Bush) for a big, national medical care overhaul and serious attention to emotional and psychological care.

The Relative Values of Voters
The Republican Party blew off the NAACP with near unanymity.
According to the US Census (http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/tables/07s0014.xls), there are only about 70-some million of THEM. Republicans get about 10% of their votes from THEM.
The '01 census counts almost 160 million Christians. So if they get half the Christian vote they're ahead of the guy with every vote from THEM.
That should explain why the comically uncommitted Giuliani, the desperate-for-despotism Huckabee, the charming old drunk character actor, the crotchety old man, the Mormon and the crotchety old Conservative all showed up at the Jesus Freak Convention to compete for their support.
So right now they're looking for room in their dogma to support serial-marriage Rudy, Never-did-nothing Thompson, McCain the rapidly aging or anti-everything Paul, so they don't have to vote for wacky-cult gay-marriage public insurance Romney.
If this were reality, we'd expect this freako fringe to be contemplating a ride on the next comet, or at least a third party to leave the things of this world to the students of it. But they're hypocrites too, and they really want to rule the world like the scion whose name it is a letter W.

Back in black & white, almost, and kind of
If you want to look at some pretty fun rants about Tom DeLay and the rest of the scandal roster from early in this abyssmal political cycle, look at the stuff I already wrote. I've written a lot of stuff since that last post, intending to tune my craft. This page might have to be deleted, but I hope I can give you and others a chance to get some value from the provocative crap I can come up with sometimes.
Joy,
