This issue has been dropped right into the laps of Republicans as a golden opportunity in the current electoral season

You're joking. Right?

They aren't called the Party of Stupid for no reason.

How many times have they pulled defeat out of the jaws of victory?

Don't sell them short. They will again. If anything, they are consistent. Case in point? Dole 96/McCain 08.

Not joking. Just saying that its a golden opportunity which has been dropped right into their laps, something which the Dems cannot counter ... all they need to do is pick up the ball and run with it, and it seems that McCain and now Bush are *finally* starting to do just that ... at least its a start
