This is actually good for us. Who cares about some jack-sh#t public service award that George the Elder decided to pass out as a peace offering. That matters little. GHWB was always clueless as to the mendacity of his opponents. George W, on the other hand, knows their game. What is more important is that Kennedy is driving the Democrats further to the Howard Dean left. That is all to the good.
As the economy improves and the situation in Iraq improves with it, the liberal Democrats will find themselves further marginalized.
Liberal Democrats are peddling many mendacities these days. It is good that Karl Rove is taking notes.
When the campaign begins, the Democrats will live to regret their antiwar stance. They like to think that things look good for them now, but in six months, it won't. Things turn in politics. Appeasement is never sound policy in the long run, and the truth, as it always does, will out.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
