WTF : : A dash of common sense reality from Powerslime nutbag blogger
Edited on Sat Nov-05-05 04:23 PM by jefferson_dem
Here it is -- a momentary dash of reality from the chimp apologists at Powerslime blog.

Finally, I disagree to some extent with John's assessment that hammering Bush makes little sense in the context of electoral politics. Driving down an incumbent president's popularity can only help the out-of-power party. I think the Democrats will do at least marginally better in both 2006 and 2008 if Bush is viewed unfavorably and if the Republican party is seen as the party that deceitfully took us to war in the name of WMD that didn't exist. In any event, when a president is fighting a war that's perceived as not going well, and a primary justification for the war hasn't materialized, it's asking too much of any party (and certainly the Democrats) not to make an issue out of it. The Democrats have found a low risk strategy for doing so.

What planet is this guy on?

IF "the Republican party is seen as the party that deceitfully took us to war in the name of WMD that didn't exist."

Why wouldn't they be seen that way, next year???

3. Quirky quarks
Less than one year ago they were all chuckling around their $10 martinis about how they had got away with one more chance to do everything they could to rob the nation.
Today they are wondering if their time might be shortened and all their loot taken back!
Take back the pay for the never elected, along with every penny spent for war and trips, and payments to halliburton on no-bid contracts, and a few billion more on extras without receipts.
It would otherwise cost too much to bring back any semblance of integrity, truth and honesty for the world to know that democracy can work once again!
