There are some themes we are all hearing from republicans during their public seppuku. There are the usual; the candidate wasn’t conservative enough, Christie sold us out, Sandy, etc. A huge realization, that really distresses them, is that “America has Changed™”, i.e. there are a lot of ‘them’.

'Cut and Run' is their rejoinder to any debate or an attempt to deviate from 'Stay the Course'. Those who want to reject this false dichotomy or, more importantly, have an intelligent discussion on our nation's choices have not fared well. 'Cut and Run' plays into the oldie, but apparently goodie, "Democrats are weak on defense" meme. Read More

While watching the Frist and Hastert rendition of Punch and Judy performed today I was struck by the many hypocritical disconnects in the Conservative Cannon. There are a few examples below, they are illustrative and may be good talking points. Please pile on. Read More

I am curious, perhaps others more knowledgable than I can help me (that number is legion!). I read some right blogs such as redstate or freeperland and I am amazed at how little discussion there is about all things Fitzmas. I am aware of a few posts over the past several months but usually they are explained by 1. Plame wasn't undercover 2. No one in the WH outed her 3. Everyone knew she was a spook, 4. It's just hardball politics you cupcake, etc.

So here is my question, it is 2 fold.

1. Are they clueless about this and all of this going to catch the majority of them offguard
OR
2. Is this willfull ignorance (hands firmly over ears while shouting La La La La La...)?

Of all the reasons given for the Iraq invasion the two remaining rationales I hear cited most often are: 1. spreading the seeds of democracy to the mideast ; 2. the flypaper theory ("it's better to fight them there than to fight them here in the streets").

A new book entitled "Dying to Win" written by Robert Pape, an Associate Professor of the University of Chicago, directly addresses the issue of suicide terrorism which has tremendous implications for undermining the validity of both of these justifications for invasion and occupation.

The website "truthout" has an informative interview with Dr. Pape by Scott McConnell of "The American Conservative". It is eye opening. It is the epitome of reality-based data collection, reduction, and subsequent reasoning. After reading this missive, what is the take home message for me? We need to get our troops off the Arabian Peninsula as fast as possible!

See if you agree.
