Driving me nuts too -- handwringing that goes on is beyond my comprehension. Told some people the other day to go out and volunteer and quit whining. For people that are supposed to be political savvy, there is an awful lot of doom and gloom not to mention they believe what the media is saying or the polls -- amazing!
Funniest was last year when they started quoting the NY Times and got worried about Pres Bush's numbers. Just shook my head.
We have one on this thread -- newby that never posts anything positive about President Bush. Wish I had the eject button!
We could use an ignore button...that's for sure!
Unfortunately, there are far too many on FR, who imagine that they not only know and understand politics,government,and history, but are "experts" to boot. What they appear to know about these things, could be engraved on the head of a pin, in HUGE font,with massive of space left over.
As an example of what they do NOT know, but we do, Reagan, at this point in time, was faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar behind in the polls.
