February 17, 2004 -- THE misunderestimators are back, dripping with their old familiar condescension and contempt for President Bush.

I missed good discussion while I was so sick, but no need to have a relapse by overtaxing myself for some fun.
Night all.
His critics were saying that the war in Afghanistan would fail and we would be bogged down in a "quagmire". The taliban was toppled, and Al-Qaeda was effectively crippled. Afghanistan is worlds better off now. They said the same thing about Iraq. We couldn't defeat the Iraqi army, and we couldn't find Hussein. We did both. They were wrong again. Iraq, like Afghanistan, now has a shot at a democratic government which again will be in our favor. They said that the notorious Arab street would create a mess of trouble for us. Wrong again. The critics said that the tax cut would not help the economy. They're way wrong again. In fact the critics have been wrong every time about George Bush.
A_C is too young to have discovered humility.
That's a common malady of super bright kids.
Many of them never figure it out and just withdraw.
A_C will be OK in about 30 years.

"Bush BREATHED!!! How dare he breath! If George W. Bush dares to BREATH in my presence, I have just three words for him: BRING IT ON!!!"
Do that, and they'll be paying the AMT.
This in itself is a revolutionary development, and a definite win for our side. First, the "tax cut for the rich" mantra was ditched for being tired and inefective, now we see the word "investment" is no longer thought to have power, perhaps because the opposite is what has transpired in the lurch the economy took with the government's "investment" in the economy through the tax cut.
Soon their semantic tool box is going to run out of tools.
Great line; great post; thanks kattracks.
