maybe its the campaign I just witnessed, but it seems like it doesn't matter how many strong you are if all you've got to say is obama hangs with terrorists and brain washes people into being *socialists*
But even before the campaign so much of the republican agenda descended into rovian subterfuge and propaganda to stem off the consequences of really bad policy.
To such a level that I don't know if it would even matter if it ends up being 39 christiano-fascists in power or 41.
the number one strategy of winning an argument is being right. everything else tends to work itself out. the sooner the gop starts to rediscover what they are right about, that's the sooner our country benefits from any meaningful checks and balance. who knows when that will happen, with bible spice being poised and groomed for 2012
