WOODSTOCK, VT. — The Wall Street Journal, no left wing publication, reports that Republicans may soon lose the votes of some economic conservatives. In part, it’s because of the unending war in Iraq and social policies they don’t like, but they might swallow hard and continue to vote Republican anyway if GOP fiscal policies did not mimic the Democrats when it comes to the deficit and spending.

Maybe what the GOP needs is a fall foliage trip to Vermont where there is an oasis in a desert of fossilized ‘60s liberalism. You might not think so at first glance because here, someone seems to have pushed the “pause” button on the Age of Aquarius.


A trip to local bookstores is like visiting Democratic National Committee headquarters. No, that’s not quite accurate. It’s more like visiting MoveOn.org headquarters. Buttons that say “Impeach Cheney First” compete with bumper stickers with messages like “Freedom of Religion Means Freedom FROM Religion” and “Never Have Sex with a Pro-Lifer.”

The most conservative book I could find was one by Jimmy Carter. There are “EmbarrassMints” with a picture of President Bush on the lid of the confection tin. I bought an Elvis Impersonation Kit just for fun. You get the idea.

President Bush has avoided Vermont during his presidency, but he might want to consider leading a pilgrimage of Republican candidates back to a little hamlet just down the road, which produced a Republican president with ideas his party desperately needs.

No thanks, we're proud of being the only state that hasn't been besmirched by bush's presence.

3. Tell the repukes to stay away from VT!

I'm planning to retire there someday soon & the reason is because it hasn't been visited by bush. Seriously. OK, that & the state is a very cool place.

10. Gee, you have nothing like those rhetoric-filled anti-Bush things

at places like Canfield, Ohio ... All I saw there were things like bumper stickers saying "Liberals are Terrorists" and "Ted Kennedy's car killed more people than my gun", and various things festooned with the Confederate flag, which would be amusing considering the "Republicans" fought against the Confederates in the Civil War ...

[Virginia Dare]

12. Confederate flags in Ohio?

the land of U.S. Grant? Who'd a thunk?

13. Ya Lucks! I did not know that..

the little puppet on a short string had not been to Vermont!

bushits have raided the treasury and they're fat and smug..no way do they care about being conservative..You're SAFE!
