Has anyone ever met an intellectually honest lefty?

I wish the White House will also drop the nice-nice, too. When they are going to take off the gloves?

"Everyone knows it was Mozhaisky brothers!"
A. F. Mozhaisky was trumpeted in USSR as aviation pioneer, but he was always written up as SOLO worker. But he was a brother to himself, and if one is to include his shadow and reflection, there would be three Mozhaiskys working on a primitive airplane.

but Republicans need to tattoo this truism on their arms: It's never a good idea to take advice from your enemies.

Very true. They never have your best interest at heart.

This is what Republicans are like today. They swear up and down not to trust the liberal media, but as soon as that very media demonize some Republican, half our party is ready to dump him. Currently the Republican liberals would most like to see gone is Dick Cheney. There's a basketful of Republicans I'd be very pleased to see removed from office. Dick Cheney ain't one of them.

Another candidate liberals told us was a disaster for the party was Ronald Wilson Reagan. In 1976, Newsweek's Hal Bruno said Republican "party loyalists" feared that Reagan would produce "a Goldwater-style debacle from which there is no comeback." Though the "Republican right wing" was gleeful at the prospect of a real conservative like Reagan purifying the party, Bruno wrote, "it could be a purification indistinguishable from suicide."

In polls of the Democratic and Republican National Committees taken by U.S. News and World Report in early 1980, Democrats overwhelmingly claimed to believe George Herbert Walker Bush was a more formidable candidate than Reagan. "We HOPE they'll run Reagan," liberals said.

He not only never lost a general election, Reagan also never won by less than a landslide margin. Reagan's triumph was then promptly jettisoned by Mr. "Electable," who broke his "read my lips" pledge and unceremoniously ended the Republicans' 12-year control of the White House.

Other Republicans we've been told were a disaster for the party are Newt Gingrich – who produced the jaws-of-life to tear Congress from the Democrats – and Ken Starr – who was responsible for the impeachment and utter humiliation of Bill Clinton.
