The point is that people should try understand how the political process really works, rather than parroting macho slogans from Limbaugh, Levin, and others.
For a guy that was bleating about "standard arguments" a few posts ago why would you use the threadbare ad homs that imply I'm so ignorant/stupid I can't think for myself so I have to be spoonfed by the radio.
To say this is insulting would be an understatement but its also the same BS most losers whine about when they don't get their way as if they can embarrass the opposite side into deserting their principles based on fear of association with Limbaugh, Hannity et al.
If I were truly so devoid of self-awareness I could just as easily be led by some jack-hole on the internet as someone on the radio but I can assure you that isn't the case.
The fact is Bush tried to buy political capital in congress to not have the war saboutaged and partly out of his sense of "compassion". In the process he blew-up the debt and flirted with amnesty. He lost congress in 2006 and paved the way for the current debacle. And for all his political capitulations he's still treated like a quasi-criminal/whipping boy to this day.
The other side doesn't care how many welfare programs you create or how many liberal judges you nominate. They will take ever capitulation and demand more. Freedom isn't voting for the exact same agenda simply because it has an "R" next to the deciding vote; it's the ability to say yes or no not yes or yes. Willingness may be the cure for rape but it does nothing to stop the rapist.
Feel free to vote for liberal socialists all you want but don't expect me to follow just because you slap an "R" label on them and back-handedly call me a sheep--with no sense of irony--in the hope I'll blindly and uncritically follow after you.
