Total wishful thinking. This comment reminds me of one several years ago on Monday Night Football. That idiot Dan Dierdorf (great player, lousy announcer) actually made a relevent comment on a game getting out of control, score wise. He said the (losing team -- I don't remember who) is "obviously letting the (winning team) get so far ahead, they'll quit and the losing team will have them where they want them." (My paraphrase). Gifford responded with the best line in MNF history: "Dan, you played for the Cardinals for too long!"
In 1992, I made the comment that one term of Bill Clinton would make the country realize that it no longer wanted a Democratic President for at least 20 years. I was wrong, as you are here. In politics, you don't win by losing, and I challenge you to give me one example where one side totally caved on an important issue to most of their constiuents and they came out the better for it.
CFR isn't important to anybody. Anyone in the know is well aware that the courts will shoot down any parts that are unconstitutional. The rest of the country really doesn't care.
