Kathleen Parker writes an interesting article over at Townhall about the virtues of being independent of either party. Apparently both parties are guilty of extreme partisanship.
"We're ripe for a terrorist attack, yet we've become so stridently self-absorbed and distracted by partisan one-upmanship that you begin to wonder whether anyone's manning the barricades."
What crowd pleasing title does Ms. Parker give this discussion of the perils of partisanship? "Beyond bashing Bush." In it she mentions Michael Moore twice, but can't find room for Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage. She could also note that the Bush campaign spends three or four times more on their campaign website bashing Kerry than Kerry's website spends bashing Bush.
So I have to admit I find this article remarkably similar to other articles that have more honestly admitted that they think Democrats are partisan and if they weren't partisan they would be more pro-Bush.
Still, at least she didn't suggest that Democrats hate President Bush irrationally.
