Need help for a Republican & Indi's against Bush meeting
I will be going to a meeting this afternoon of "Republicans, Independents & Democrats Against Bush." I want to point out to the Republicans (nicely)that the problem with their Party is not just Bush. It is the same old crowd that pops up in every Republican administration:

Rumsfeld
Cheney
Wolfowitz
Perle

In addition, all of the leaders that they've had in the last 20 years have hijacked the party from a moderate one to one that caters to the right and the very wealthy - a small group of the population. (Gingrich, DeLay, Dubya). I know better than to mention "Reagan" - their God.

Can people please contribute to this list and also help me nail down exactly which administrations "the same old farts" have worked in?

Such as I know Cheney worked in the Bush I Admin - did he also work in the Reagan or Nixon admin?

Thanks in advance...

(snip)
05/27/03: Recently, I was the guest on a radio talk-show hosted by a thoroughly decent far-right Republican. I got verbally battered, but returned fire and, I think, held my own. Toward the end of the hour, I mentioned that the National Security Strategy -- promulgated by the Bush Administration in September 2002 -- now included attacking possible future competitors first, assuming regional hegemony by force of arms, controlling energy resources around the globe, maintaining a permanent-war strategy, etc.

"I'm not making up this stuff," I said. "It's all talked about openly by the neo-conservatives of the Project for the New American Century -- who now are in charge of America's military and foreign policy -- and published as official U.S. doctrine in the National Security Strategy of the United States of America."

The talk-show host seemed to gulp, and then replied: "If you really can demonstrate all that, you probably can deny George Bush a second term in 2004."
