Where else in the world could supposedly intelligent people be convinced that voting to stuff a shit sandwich down the throats of the public would be more beneficial to them than not doing so?

I fully expect that voting for the shit sandwich will be IMMENSELY beneficial to the ones doing the voting — whether they survive the 2010 elections or not.

HCR was a battle, not the war. An important battle, yes

The name “Dien Bien Phu” immediately came to mind.

“If this is the best we can do after the nation pours its collective hope into something, it really is the end of empire.”

It’s the *beginning* of empire. The end of the representative Republic.

Very good point. Fleming really makes clear that the lead anti-war senator, Bob LaFollette, was the voice of reason.

On the way back to his office, someone handed La Follette a rope, suggesting he should — or might — meet a traitor’s death. The next day, around 4 p.m. Senator La Follette rose to explain why he opposed war with Germany. He opened with a brief, almost curt attack on the idea that every senator should “stand behind the president.” What kind of doctrine was that, he asked? What if the president was wrong?

Not as scary as that goddamned mole. You should have it looked at, by a plan physician.

All I can find is this attack ad on Larry by MoveOn. Outrageous.
