Daily Kos

The most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves

I'm not a big diarist here and have been very content to lurk, read, and be edified by the wisdom of others in the Kos community.  But recently I've detected a meme drifting into the tone of some of the musings here that is troubling to me.  Not troubling in the sense that they frame support for a candidacy or policy that I disagree with, but troubling because, to me, they dramatically underestimate the impact of the recent Pastor Wright revelations.

Three, maybe four simple questions

I've been a long time Kos reader but have never diaried.  I've had the pleaseure of reading the thoughts of people who were smarter, better informed, and more knowledgeable about the political landscape than I since well before the 2004 election.

With that in mind I'd like to ask the Kos community a few simple questions...

  1.  How come every person connected to the Democratic party or progressive thought doesn't ALWAYS use the words "Bush Pioneer" right before uttering the name "Jack Abramoff?"  They would.

  2.  Why has no one ever called the GOP the administration of "OMISSION accomplished."

More on the flip...
