I lose points here I guess smile I looked but wasn't able to find numbers on this ... but I feel (and this is totally unscientific so take it as you will) that in 2004 the war in Iraq was surrounded by a lot of media coverage that would make negative feelings more politically potent. Things like Michael Moore's movie, Abu Ghraib, and what seemed like horrific acts of violence committed everyday against the Iraqi people and our troops. So while I'll certainly concede that some polls may put the American public's support for Iraq lower than 2004, for me it's a matter of how easy/difficult it is to convert those feelings to votes one way or the other. FeartheReaper is acting like this is no contest and I don't believe it is.



Right, me and every political pundit in America. Oh, and Republicans as well. Might want to read up a bit.

The media coverage of the war was far from bad in 2004. It wasn't until 2005 that the news out of Iraq turned for the worse. You're simply wrong.

I find it really amusing that you're getting all upset about two harsh comments like "creaming yourself" and "heads up their asses". What, you don't want to play ball when someone comes to the table that can actually fight back?

As for the "ridiculous rhetoric" part ... I didn't think it was out of line to label a post that attempted to use NAMBLA as an appropriate metaphor as ridiculous. Not to mention any of the following: "orgy days in Congress", "the Republican shame train", "lube up and relax their sphincters", "the most retarded policies", "tickling his balls and taking his load into your mouth", "You are spineless, deluded cunts","ignorant shit beast", "a brothel, created to service corporate cocks in their angry, wet holes"

What? No Hitler references? I feel almost robbed. Afraid Godwin's law will reveal your political commentary for what it really is?

The GOP deserves to die. They are an embarassment. Their party purges will be the final nail in their coffin.

I said it before and I'll say it again. This is the opportunity for 3rd parties to start filling in where the GOP is dropping out. Win some local elections, get into state governments, then try to get into national and presidental politics.

coyote; I actually fully concur with your assesment. A large scale campaign was needed to galvanize the movement however. All of us who were somewhat grounded in reality knew we weren't going to win, but rather creating the drive towards phase 2, which is what you're referring to. We are trying our hand at a few congressional races, but local is certainly the way to go.

Hardly. The modern republican party is best as the underdog, doing character assasinations on the Democrats. When they govern, they run up huge debts by giving back to the upper class.

They hate it right now and maybe for 2010, but they will be loving it in 2012

Anyway, dipshit, I'm not a Democrat. I'm an independent who is able to have the simple understanding that Democrats with a veto less majority is a good thing. I think if your head wasn't crammed up your ass, you'd realize Cazayoux's win was symbolic of something else.



semeSymbolism? Give me a break. Symbolism is the argument that people use in these kinds of debates when what they want to believe isn't meeting reality.

Frankly, independent or not, I've read several of your political news items and you always seem much more interested in calling people shit heads than you are at saying anything remotely intelligent. Now, before you get ahead of yourself, I think objectivity is overrated people SHOULD express their opinions for what they are, and certainly many people here do enjoy and respond to what you have to say. But that being said, in the quest to get out of this lesser of two evils corrupt partisan system people like you are part of the problem.

You want to know why some people still support Bush after everything that's happened? It's because people don't like being called names and treated like crap. So people like you, rather than provoking thought and dialogue that might actually change some minds, just make everyone more fanatical and push this country further into a system where the moderate and independent voices are lost. YOUR ACTIONS speak louder than what's written on your voter registration card.



Careful there fella, the limited number of "people" supporting Bush is small and growing smaller every day. Guilt by association is a terrible thing, just look what it's done for you. Your Republican party can't get away from this idiot fast enough.

Some Republican apparently figured the problem out some time ago.

Not the political one who lives inFlorida; the one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work.'

"The Republican Party must have new leadership, or conservatives will continue to withhold support, and the Party will crash in flames in November, Richard A. Viguerie, publisher of ConservativeHQ.com, said. "Accordingly, Republican Party leaders must resign."

Interesting. I assume that Mr Viguerie feels he's not important enough to resign?

He has been a vocie of criticism of the current party leadership for sometime. I would not call him a party leader, exactly. He is referring to officer positions.

2010 is going to be another brutal year for them. Dems are already sizing up the potential races, and there's a realistic chance they might have a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate by 2011, without having to put up with Lieberman's constant party-bashing.
