Nor does it disprove anything I said. traveling guy also needs to stop spoofing my name at comment number 7, especially when his spoof has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

You think the war’s going to be over in another 1.5 years? you think the GOP blocking the supplemental in the senate, keeping the troops (that the majority of the county wants to come home) in Iraq indefinitely is going to redound to the their benefit?

They focus more on the failed war in Iraq instead of the issues Americans face everyday (education, health care, jobs, crime, environment, etc.). And their insistence that this country ought to be a "neo-Christian USA" has turned off more people like all of us who read this blog. Will the Republicans realize the error of their ways? Probably when there are only 100 of them in the House and 30 in the Senate. But until then, they just don't seem to get it, while the Democrats do.

They didn't deliver on winning the war. Instead, they were so worried about criticism from the left that they went in with too few troops wanting to leave as small a footprint as possible. If they fought the war as a real war, instead of allowing Al-Queda leaders to attend a funeral unmolested and instead of allowing arms to be stored in Mosques because they didn't want to offend anyone, they could have been done by now. Another issue that is a sore spot is Bush's insane policy (or non-policy) concerning illegal immigration. What is that all about? The Republicans don't have a charismatic leader like Reagan in this race. However, I believe that if Fred Thompson is offered up, you will see the conservatives come out of the woodwork to vote for him and the slim control that the liberals have will evaporate.

What explains the failure of the mainstream media to cover the purge scandal for so long, and so many other scandals? Do you think somebody just set up newspaper editors to cheat on their wives, and threatened to tell if the editors wouldn’t play ball when they come back some day and ask for something? It wouldn’t be that hard to do, when you think about it. People wouldn’t talk about it. Krugman is awesome.
