This isn't liberalism. This is idiocy.
And if the Democrats would stand up and say clearly and to one and all that it is indeed idiocy they have a shot in 06 and 08.
If they sit on their hands, as I expect most of them will, and say nothing, then the GOP is indeed one step closer to 60 seats in the Senate.
Well, OK, but wouldn't it end up sounding a bit, err, odd, for a Democrat to just come out and say "ladies and gentlemen, for a final thought, the people of the Stevens Creek school in Cupertino, California, are totally nuts"? I don't think Democrats actually believe this sort of thing. However, that's like blaming the Republican party for Coburn's "lesbians in schools" comment. Why is it their job to comment on things they aren't involved in? It isn't.
(I don't mean to go after you too much, Vorlon - it's just that you're right 95% of the time and I'm trying to make that at least 97%.
