Honesty, these people are sooo stupid they deserve the rimming that the Republican party gives them, again and again.

If that’s a fair judgment, then it should be expanded to cover most supporters of both parties, regardless of whichever candidate wins in November.

It's just a shame that they can't both lose.

Honesty, these people are sooo stupid they deserve the rimming that the Republican party gives them, again and again.

She'd pull some troops out and bomb the hell out of the place at the first sign of trouble, and send the Missouri National Guard to Darfur.

(There is no WAY that Obama would be the all-but-presumptive nominee if it weren't for the Michigan/Florida fiascos and the craziness of the caucus system, right?) But I do think that if she were to be handed the nomination under these circumstances, the backlash from the Left would be so extreme that she'd lose badly, too. At this point, it's Bob Barr who's our best chance of ending the war. Know hope.

As someone said in a favourite show of mine, "Weep for the future."

As much as I love seeing the Democrats' elitism and condescension toward Middle Americans destroy their Presidential aspirations every four years, it's a shame that people don't see that the GOP isn't significantly different on this score. But at least the distrust of the perceived elites is still there: if people can only figure out that <i>no one</i> in Washington has their best interests at heart, there may be hope for real populism.
