The democratic-socialists are much like their German counterparts when it comes to telling the big lie.
Ah, that's so cute. They're just like they used to be back when they all hung out on Salon's Table Talk forum: Every time anything, no matter how minor, came over the wire about any Republican serving at any level above a local school board, they'd have 150-post-long threads jumping up and down with glee about how [insert name here]-gate was going to bring down the entire Republican Party and the Bush White House with it, Real Soon Now. And it never ever happens. Yet they keep repeating the pattern over and over and over.
They really are like rats. Not RATS, but the actualy little rodents. Except they're like rats that some scientist has drugged up to see how it affects their ability to run the maze. They never learn the maze; they just keep running the same wrong path over and over ad infinitum, as convinced it'll work the first time as they are the thousandth. And they never win.
