What does he have to do to make you think he's bad? Rip the heads off kittens? Jesus.

" If I'm a Republican, I take that debate."

'Cause the Republicans have such a sterling record on being right about stuff.

Also, it's possible for congress to focus on more than one thing at once. taxing, surely, but not impossible.

AND, even assuming the Republicans are right about it being a preferable, loosing issue, and I don't cede that, sometimes it's okay to do something that may not strategically work because it's the right thing to do. It's called having an iota of principal. On rare occasions, people sometimes even react positively to a politician taking a stand based on actual beliefs regarding the law as opposed to what might improve their political power.

You know how the Republicans won this one? By the D's predictable cravenness which even the majority cannot make them shed.

'We want this debate! Oh SHIT! You guys are willing to have it?! CRAP, we must have been wrong, quick, quick, get it into committee and drown that baby because if they want it, it must be good for them since they're always right about stuff like Terry chiavo and War and torture!'

THAT's where they lost points, by looking like a collection of lackluster tepid boobs who who would find some way to loose if the Republican front runner was videotaped eating babies.


And Kultureklub, you are such a friggin' idiot it beggars the imagination. Stick to your own blithering threads, any time you chuck in your two cents it is so without merit it's like finding a poop in your lunch box.
