. . .the lesson of the past six years is that Republicans will accuse Democrats of being unpatriotic no matter what the Democrats do. Democrats gave Mr. Bush everything he wanted in 2002; their reward was an ad attacking Max Cleland, who lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam, that featured images of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.Finally, the public hates this war and wants to see it ended. Voters are exasperated with the Democrats, not because they think Congressional leaders are too liberal, but because they don’t see Congress doing anything to stop the war.

If it helps any, I think republican polis are much worse. Really, to accurately portray my feelings, I should say that I think nearly all big party polis are unpatriotic. Their priorities tend to be, themselves, their party and maybe, if we're lucky, their country is even on the list. But that's just me. . .
