#1 An important reason Dukakis lost is that he comes across as freakishly bloodless, unable to convey the normal range of human emotion. . . .

For a moment there I thought they were talking about Al Gore.

#2 Dukakis is a wimp. And people recognized the truth when they heard it.

#5 Also very interesting that Hillary would have something very similar to say today:

Seems to be a setup for conspiracy-whackjobs supporting the Left if something (G*d forbid) should happen.

#6 "We're probably not going to outstrategize them [Trunks]. And some crazy guy will blow up a building with three weeks to go, you know, and then we'll be back in Bush-land again.". . . that last quote is really creepy. The thought of a massacre on American soil seems to leave Dukakis unmoved, except that he worries it might be harmful to his party's political prospects.

It's not just Dukakis; this is the attitude of the whole friggin Democratic Party; party first, America second--they've sold their soul to the devil.

#7 Dukakis still can't get over Willie Horton. The sins of the father are revisited by the son.

#8 They just don;t get it. If the U.S. being attacked is a bad thing then that means people simply don't trust them with security. If we can't trust the Donks with security why are they even being considered given the state of world affairs?

#9 He's not talking to you. He's talking to AQ.

#10 I suppose they would see another major attack upon US soil as the ultimate vindication of their stance that "killing terrorists only creates more terrorists". What's more strange is that they must all be unaware of the basic principles behind standard pest extermination methods. What do they do, try to "negotiate" with the termites that're eating their homes? Hold "talks" with the cockroaches? Work out "treaties" with the rats and mice?
