George Orwell in Notes on Nationalism (1945): “I have heard it confidently stated, for instance, that the American troops had been brought to Europe not to fight the Germans but to crush an English revolution. One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool.”

There’s nothing like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory for the naysayers like the Dems and the NYT.

Mustn’t let Iraq become successful in any way, or Bush might be right after all, and can’t have that. Might mean they were wrong.

Two-faced sniveling weasels, that’s what they all are.

I agree with Jim C above.

Why now? Because as Al Anbar proves; we’re winning. And the Dems cannot allow that.

In a microcosm – the CT Senatorial elections last fall – you can see how that worked for the candidate Ned Lamont. Took the Democratic nomination away from Joe Lieberman, based on one issue – the war. So Joe switched to an Independent ticket – and kept his Senatorial seat.

One can only hope that this small example will hold true on the larger political stage yet to come.

One issue does not make a President. I’m hopeful; not delusional, but hopeful that the American people will exercise the same self control for our country that the citizens of CT did for my state.
