It was a very bad idea to go to war against an ideology.

Just for you lurking freepers. I know you all are wondering why the GOP is falling apart like a cheap suit right now.

Well, that is the short answer. It is like going to war against the wind. That is all.

1. We may as well fight a war on anger

In fact, that would probably be a more productive use of our time & $$$.

2. Unravelling like a cheap Walmart sweater.

Sure, it keeps you warm for a while. But soon, and often when you just need it the most, the ends of the threads start fraying. So you pick off a little fluff, and then a little more. The fluffiness goes and the sweater begins looking like an old wire screen. Finally, somebody pulls at a loose end. The end starts unravelling at the edge, and as one pulls at the yarn it all comes undone.

No more warmth. No more security. Just a hand full of tattered yarn.

3. For some reason I hear this collective head scratching going on

by thousands of freepers asking why exactly the Republican Party is falling apart, right now.

Thought I'd help. :)

4. "War against the wind"

Well, Bush DID once say when he thought of the hurricanes and tsunamis that he thought of the terrorists and how they'd like to do that.....
