That's the year I realized that even if Ed Brooke were to run again, there was no way I could vote for him. He was a Republican, a fine one, a Yankee Republican where they were still the party of Lincoln.

Reagan changed the game when he handed the party over to the religious lunatics. While that also sowed the seeds of their eventual self destruction, it also meant that life for American workers would be miserable until it did destruct.

That's a good letter but you realize it will be slashed to ribbons if they publish it, even if you did give them the name of the DDOS program and where to find it.
