If it wasnt Petreus ad, it would have been something else. This drama was custom fit, made to
order. What really demoralizes me about it is how totally uncreative and unoriginal it is. How many times can they go to the well with the same old support the troops/patriotism card?

6. It will be a monumental loss in 2008. Goodbye, GOP.
They are digging their own grave with each obstructionist action, perpetuating an illegal operation.

They will put the final nails in their own coffins with each scandal and corruption uncovered.

King Dipshit will deliver the executioners blow with his arrogance and delusional egoism.

"So long, it's been good to know ya!"

5. no doubt - it was choreographed like an American Idol runner up
first there was the dribbling out of the outrage on the fringes, stepped up a notch each day until bam - the Senate of the United States of America is so moved by its outrage that it is moved to condemn this horrible use of free speech. Had stunt written all over it from the begining, especially considering the slime the repukes have thrown at war heroes.

But, just like the circus perfomrance surrounding Terri Schaivo, it damn well backfired.

7. The Repugs are filth in Americas eyes.
Most of my family has identified with "Conservative Values" and the GOP in the past. Not anymore. I can't find people who defend this criminal political party anymore.

One by one, for any of hundreds of reasons, they have realized that they've been had. The Crooks exploited their faith, but the gigs over.

We should stop dignifying them as a party. They are a criminal gang. 47 people, plus El Dipshit, are actively working with all of their might against the safety and security of our troops and the American people. They are war criminals. Each vote that they cast, in near lock-step following, extending the war will add thousands of votes to the Dems.

The GOP is DEAD.

8. It's akin to "Flag Burning" amendments and "Partial Birth Abortion" bills.
That usually attract enough of the trembling triangulation wing of the Democratic Party to pass.
