Wait a minute... I take that back. Anytime a Republican does anything wrong, or is even ACCUSED of doing anything wrong they are all over it. While shielding their liberal pals from the same scrutiny. How else can we explain that Senate Majority Leader Harry GREED is still in office?

If I were in his shoes and, like him, had no moral compass, I would do exactly the same thing. What drives me into a frenzy is the fact that the media, rather than playing the gotcha game with him, is entirely complicit. They too appreciate the zeigeist, but they have no excuse for abandoning their role as watchdog in the political arena. Thank God the media's monopoly is fading as the internet nips at its heels. The day of real competition in the marketplace of ideas can't happen soon enough.

Obama is all about "change." He changes his mind from one day to the next depending on whichever way the political wind is blowing. I warned everyone months ago that when it is absolutely undeniable that the surge is working and we have met the conditions that PRESIDENT BUSH spelled out for VICTORY in Iraq: a country that can govern itself, defend itself and be an ally in the war on terror that Dems would try and deny they ever opposed winning and try and claim credit. We can laugh ourselves silly when Dems come out and try and suggest that we are only winning in Iraq because of the pressure Dems put on to withdraw, but you know there is a ready market for liberal malarkey. They'll believe almost anything. Doug?

GREAT find. BTW, great question floating around the web I see: "Why doesn't Barack meet with Iran now?" Pelosi, Reid, Kucinich, Kerry, and many other Dem leaders already met with Syria. Why not Iran? Oh wait...sorry. I forgot. Iran doesn't want to meet w them, and if they DID meet, then their claims about being able to use diplomacy to stop the Iranians from killing Americans would be proven DOA before 1600 PA.
