#1 Remember it's not about Facts, it's about Belief.

The last election the Donks pressed hard not on the war, but on corruption [apparently, that there was not enough of it].

#7 You can see it in the turnouts for the Democratic primaries. I also see it here in Chicago more so than 2004, when Anbody but Bush almost got them over the hump. If the far right, evangelicals, and Republican's who can't stand McCain can't muster themselves to vote for McCain, then it'll be a Demcratic landslide not only for President but also the House and Senate.

#11 IIRC, Matt Taibbi was the dipshit RS reporter that got the smackdown layed on him by Tony Snow at the Bill Maher show.

#12 Again, FOX BIZN Pert [paraph] > THERE IS = WILL BE NO GOING BACK TO THE DAYS = TIME IN AMERICA BEFORE 9-11.

He meant EVERYONE, ANYONE, GOP DEM etal., plus OWG-GLOBALISM IS HERE TO STAY. THE WOT > WAR TO DEFINE + DETERMINE AMERICA'S PLACE/ROLE IN SAID OWG-NWO.

#13 Taibbi should stick to what he knows best, the myriad types of "stripes" on Russian prostitutes.

#14 In truth, the Congressional Democrats did surrender to President Bush on everything important. And some of the votes for them in 2006 were to end the war, though not all, and probably not most. Nice that Mr. Taibbi noticed. I wonder what he'd thought we should do about Yugoslavia back in the '90s, or what he went on about just after 9/11. I don't wonder enough to exert myself, but I do wonder if he's anti-war or on the other side.

#15 Taibbi is on the other side. He is a self absorbed, anti enlightenment carpetbagger who went to Uzbekistan and got promptly kicked out. Then he went to Moscow to write for the Moscow Times and exile.ru. He's primarily known for writing about his heroin abuse, connoisseur of teenage Russian prostitutes, and chief ass kisser to a no good son of a Russian robber baron. In other words, perfect Rolling Stone material.
