The Republicans are Class A ball.
Yes: well-oiled and sticking it right up America's ass.
The President struck a nerve because he called the Democrats on their treachery. They insist on a foreign policy based on apology and the presumption of American guilt, and criticize their own President loudly and publicly, but then pretend to be offended when they themselves are criticized for their perfidious behavior. And whenever the Bush Administration has given in to its weaker impulses and agreed to negotiate with slave states and terrorists, instead of congratulating Republicans, the Democrats have (predictably) chastised them for being unprincipled, as Harry Reid did in essence today.
Are you listening America? These are the people to whom you would entrust the security of yourselves and your children. This is not a game, it is life and death, and the Democrats have chosen sides against their own nation. I think we used to have a name for this behavior, back in the days when reason ruled.
