no image description available — GWB Approval Rating

Thought experiment: after 9/11, GWB approval rating went to 90%. That's not because all the liberals left the country and so weren't counted; it's because liberals and democrats understood this was no time for partisan politics. It was time to line up behind the President and present a united front.

No, they don't.

In the wake of the tragedy in Arizona, a long overdue discussion of political rhetoric has emerged. Those on the Left have been trying to call attention to this issue for a very long time. It isn't surprising that this event would propel the discussion into the mainstream.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain (R-Get Off My Lawn) is scheduled to meet with the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, on Friday in Colorado.

"I’m certainly looking forward to it," said the Arizona Senator, "I’ve been a fan of her music for many years."

On 24 July 2008, Barack Obama will deliver a speech at Berlin’s Siegessäule. This is expected to be a major international event and an excellent opportunity for Obama to address Europe at large regarding his views on the relationship between the U.S. and world. The Obama campaign, hoping for an enthusiastic crowd, has printed fliers to promote the event. Apparently, that was an intensely evil thing to do.

2008 is shaping up to be an interesting year for Republican candidates. How can any one candidate manage to capture the imagination of a conservative maelstrom that is floundering amid a growing spectrum of failed policy while being separated in a centrifuge of battling ideologies into its constituent parts?

On the Free Republic Boards, a right wing version of the Daily Kos, we have the following story:

"On Saturday, April 28th, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library welcomes Senator Edward M. Kennedy to the Reagan Forum."

In light of everything that The Swimmer [Kennedy, apparently] did to undermine and hamstring President Reagan, can someone explain this one to me? When I called the Reagan Library to inquire, I was told that Senator Kennedy was personally invited by Mrs. Reagan because of the 'long-standing friendship between the Kennedy and Reagan families.' The Swimmer's official bio is in the newsletter and it's enough to make me ralph.

For Freepers, this is a serious conundrum: a confluence of political objects that was not meant to be. It is an alignment of polar opposites so abhorrent that no participant is safe from the vitriol and ridicule that is sure to follow.

For onlookers, it is an opportunity to view the basest elements of their thinking. It is in stories like these – harmless on their face but a rich target for snide commentary – that basic memes bubble to the surface and the core beliefs of the most passionate Bush supporter are revealed.

Here we go, people.
Florida Enacts Deadly Force Law
In what will bring new meaning to 'Spring Break', Floridians will have the right to engage in deadly combat against any perceive transgressor. Strangely, it's easy to synchronize with seemingly disparate views espoused by the First Sibling, such as his naked stance on Right to Life issues. Protecting yourself by shooting someone in the head over a parking space is protecting the life of your family (silly liberals, that'll show 'em).
