Party of No

The dumbing down of politics via sloganeering has become an American institution. The latest version is "the party of no", a label now being applied to one political party as if the proper answer to every question is "yes".

I submit that it's OK to answer "no" to many questions:

- Are you want the extended warranty?

- This glass of milk has set out all night ... do you want it?

- Should we allow babies to be "terminated"?

- We're deep in debt ... should we approve this expensive new program?

Give me some folks who can say "no" when that's the right answer!
