OK, so this guy and his ilk fought against everything Bush tried to do throughout this entire war experience, making Bush's project even more difficult with their intransigence, undoubtedly causing a greater loss of American soldier's lives than was necessary, trashed Bush at every opportunity, voted against Bush and for the Democrat ass, then, when Bush's triumph paid for in American blood is absolutely undeniable, maybe then, why he just might possibly maybe have to give Bush credit.
I would look this ass right in the eye and say "F**k you!
I like your thinking :-)
On the other hand, you could say Mark has done an invaluable service by helping to lead the anti-war left out into the desert of nihilism, where they have perished as the rest of the World passes them by. The anti-war left has done much more to destroy the Democrat Party than to help it. With the coming elevation of Howard Dean to DNC Chair, they are the gift that keeps on giving.
Now, as progress proceeds in Iraq, the anti-war left, and by extension the Democrat Party, are seen as mindless nay-sayers, hopelessly out of touch with reality and the native American optimism. This really could lead to permanent minority status for the Democrat Party.
THIS is the primary problem. There is no doubt in my mind that the left in this country in their hatred of the President and the military has emboldened the terrorists and COST AMERICAN LIVES.
I don't know what kind of penance he's talking about, but it had better be horrendous............
Bravo! My attitude precisely. I don't give a rat's butt about the angst of the Left over how to reconcile the beauty of what we saw on Sunday with their own cowardice since 9/11/01.
I would say: "Welcome to the light. Go forth and vote Republican and sin no more. "
