Politics: Seeing beyond the spittle

Pride goes before a fall -- usually accompanied by apopletic spittle. The Republicans have become so drunk with power in recent years, with no effective checks to balance them, that their spittle-spraying extremist views are producing a long-awaited backlash from the public and the backpedaling of their own more sensible colleagues. Their rabid attack ads on Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Chris Bell claim that he wants a completely naked border with Mexico; no Republican with a pulse or a brain would believe that, much less anyone else with considerably more compassion. What is it about Republicans needing to be so much about command and control, while Democrats are all about freedom and empowerment?

Now I only wonder if gubernatorial means "born to be a goober"...?
