[...Am I wrong on this?...]
No. I think you are correct.
QUESTION:
Are the election results a paradox or is it better
described as cutting our noses off to spite our faces?
RESPONSE:
This is just such a bizarre event, I'm not sure it has
a name or an explanation. Perhaps it needs its own name.
Hmmm.

NOTE TO PING LIST:
Please feel free to contribute your original name.
You certainly don't win by SURRENDERING the field to the opposition, taking your ball and going home. That's the same CUT & RUN policy the DUmocrats propose for Iraq.
The DUmocrats won by a 6-year slander campaign provided by the DNC media. They won on NOTHING except Bush hate, not on principles, not on ideas, and most certainly was not a route or a WIPEOUT (as Lardballs Prissy Matthews says).
This was a victory for the PROPAGANDISTS, with the help of those claiming to be on our side. The talking heads endless sniping (at something they can never be - a leader) certainly helped the DUmocrats. Throw in thousands of illegal voters and DUmocrats squeak in a win for Al Queda.

Nice imagery, all very appropriate. I read the Pat Buchanan piece this morning and thought, it would be so nice if we could move conservatism back to 1928 where Mr. Buchanan lives but alas we live in todays world, that being Persia 700 A.D. Stay in touch my friend and God Bless the USA.
Call it "you can't win if you only play defense day" or "if you're a supposed conservative engaged in politically correctness, you're toast" day
