Re:Charles Barkley: “I Was A Republican - Until They Lost Their Minds”...

Saw that article on Huffpost.  Two of the best responses were:

From Andrew Bosworth, CounterBias:
"The Republican Propaganda Machine is firing on all pistons. It has to be. The new agenda is about convincing conservatives to betray their core principles.
"The new Party Line is:
"* Limited government is now Big Brother government
"* Free enterprise is now crony capitalism
"* Science is now garbage science
"* Prudent use of force is now permanent war
"All governments play with words and ideas, spinning things their way. But the Bush administration is the first to bathe America in a sewer of propaganda: Free Speech Zones; the Middle Class Tax Cuts; No Child Left Behind; the New Freedom Initiative; the Clear Skies Act; the Data Quality Act, the Patriot Act and Compassionate Conservatism all mean, in the real world, their opposites."

Haha!! I just ordered a bumper sticker that says, "I used to be a Republican. Then I woke up." Can't wait to get it. Going to put it across from the other one I just got that says, "Cheney/Satan '08" That should make people in my conservative area pissy.
