I haven't read the whole article yet, but I loved this quote so much I had to record it:

The GOP of my childhood has become the party of record deficits, international adventurism and government intrusion into private lives. The Dems seem to be made up of Massachusetts millionaires, aging rock stars and cynical comedians. Three presidential candidates with the strongest military records — Carter, Bush Sr. and Kerry — got portrayed as wimps. The most anti-government candidates, Reagan and Dubya, presided over the biggest growth in the federal debt. The four-star general, Powell, is the only administration member who didn't want a war. The folks who condemn abortion seem to be the ones who tend to support bombing campaigns and the death penalty, and vice versa. Left is right, liberal is conservative, up is down. - William Dietrich, writing in the Seattle Times
