Do you remember 2004? The insurgents were killing American soldiers and Marines. The left-wing propagandists at CNN and CBS were breathlessly reporting every drop of blood that was spilled.

At the start of the campaign season, there was Michael Moore and "Farenheit 911," a propaganda film that would have made Reifenstahl blush. And what happened? Bush was re-elected with a majority of the popular vote -- more total votes than any candidate in history.

For the second election in a row, the president's party gained seats in both houses of Congress. Nobody had done that since FDR's Democrats in the 1930s.

How did we do that? We should be able to do something like that again.

This is why conservatives get their ass kicked when we should be winning everything.

For the same reason Clinton got reelected. Americans are basically patriotic and want to think the best of their President and military. That vote was a vote of confidence about the war in Iraq just as the most recent was a vote of no confidence. If conservatives can't understand how Americans think, feel and act, how are we going to develop winning strategies?

Are you referring to the 2006 vote?

"How did we do that? We should be able to do something like that again."

Okay. End the war in Iraq, wait 20 years and start a war with North Korea.
