This is the tactic that the Rats have used on Republicans for years. Since we are generally a civilized lot, we are made to feel guilty and keep our mouths shut. Then people like Clinton can go their merry way, pretending that they are well-liked and we are in the minority.
This technique worked for the Rats for many years. Post 9/11, it doesn't work any more, which is why it is suuch a feeble criticism when read in black and white here on these pages.
There are a whole host of Rat techniques that are failing...class warfare, race warfare, making Republicans feel guilty, political correctness, anti-patriotism, hatred of oil companies, etc. etc.
Their playbook is out of date, and they don't know what to do.
Get it? We better not say that GWB is deserving of praise for this war or we're "gloating".
Yep, someone has an agenda here.
