Bush meltdown-Dems don't want their fingerprints on it.
LIHOP instead of MIHOP for some reason. Maybe they think it's better for 2006 election.

1. Lao Tzu said, regarding LIHOP:
When the effective leader is finished with his work, the people say it happened naturally.

3. Bush couldn't even "fool some of the people all of the time."
Not that I want to argue with Abe Lincoln, but it's a fact.

2. I'm confused; what are you referring to?
I don't see any LIHOP/MIHOP discussion happening in the MSM.

4. Dems not going for the jugular on Bush....
They don't want to be blamed for his demise. (not 911 issue)

6. but it would be such a credit to be blamed for his demise!
Again, they get it all wrong.

With the exception of maybe 20 Dems, we need a clean sweep.

8. Eh, I don't know...maybe not.
You've got to admit there's sort of a poetic beauty to letting a thing crash by its own flaws...Its like communism. If we had really brought the Soviet system down, people would still be saying that Soviet communism would have worked without interferance. But now people know its a flawed system.

9. There's no poetic beauty in leaving the DINOS's in the party
More then half of Dem officials are part of the flawed system.

10. Yes, cleaning needs to be done. But Bush's demise is beautiful on its own!
All the moreso if he brings it about himself. :)

7. It is better.
Right now the focus is on how bad Bush is doing. The focus is not on how Bad some Dem says Bush is doing.

And in their desperation to cover for Bush, they tried swift boating a mother of a young man who died in Iraq.

Why did they do this? No one else to swift boat at this time.

11. First it was Hillary, then Valerie Plame, Teresa H Kerry,
then J Miller, though far from being a saint, is suffering (twisting in the breeze) for this administrations misdeeds. Now Cindy is the latest target of the Republican machine.

I bet you can name at least six more women who have been targeted by the brave men of the GOP.

Cindy Sheehan is just one of a long line of women attacked, or left twisting in the breeze by the Republicans. Why fight in our wars when there are women to smack around?
