It's been a very tough day for them.
May they have many more days just like today.
Yes it has.
Let's just hope they continue spouting such nonsense.
We may actually GAIN seats this November!
"It's been a very tough day for them."
It's also been a tough decade (since 1994) for them.
I'm still shocked almost daily -- even though I should know better by now -- at the number of Americans who evince borderline support (and often much more) for the enemy.
For instance I was listening to the Diane Rhem show on National Public Radio today. The show is decidedly left (as is NPR generally) but still presumably somewhere in the "mainstream". Yet I heard the most remarkable series of call-ins. First a couple callers were "skeptical" that the victim was actually Zarqawi ('cause after all Bush is a liar). Then a third caller disdainfully suggested civilians were likely killed in the attack, but we would never know ('cause Bush is a murderer and a liar).
But that was only warm up to the coup-de-grace, a male caller who phoned in actually sounding like he was, and had been, crying. He started in general terms, saying how upset he was about the war. Rhem basically said something like, "there, there, we all understand" (and, the clear implication was, agree). Then it became clear that the was crying over the killing of Zarqawi specifically! Actually crying for this mass-murdering, mosque bombing monster!! It was an outrageous and horrifying image to him, that he could not get out of his mind, and that drove him to tears, dropping a bomb in this "human being" (Zarqawi).
Granted that one of Rhem's panelists did respond to this last caller by noting the horrific string of mass-causualty attacks on civilians for which Zarqawi was responsible, but in general the response to the whole string of calls was, "no big deal"!
It's been a couple of tough days for them, starting with the failure of their "culture of corruption" game plan in San Diego (and thanks, Busby, for urging illegals to vote), and continuing with the failure of their socialized pre-school funded by "the rich" elsewhere in California. Don't know when I've enjoyed an election more. Well, 11/04 was more fun.
