    I probably should have expanded more on the thought. I'm not trying to compare Norman Rockwell's personal/poltical phylosophy with the Republicans. I just think that all the Republican happy talk of Joe-the-(unlicensed)-Plumber, Hockey Moms, My Friends, You Betcha's and Say it ain't so Joe's show a party that is totally out of touch with the majority contemporary Americans and living in an idealized past that may have never existed.
