the NSA and surveillance policies and practices, but on this I have to agree with you 100%. The GOP (and the right wing generally) have been completely and thoroughly discredited for all time, thanks to Bush and Cheney. Rather than ackowledge their past sins, they've actually embraced even further the lunacy and dregs of the John Birchers.

I can hardly imagine what Abraham Lincoln would say, were he to witness what has become of his beloved Republican Party. It would not be kind. (I'm reading Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals and highly recommend it to all on DU who love history.)
