It's so much fun running at the Dems' perceived strengths full bore and then watching them totally flummoxed, ducking and covering, instead of simply standing up straight, taking the hit and breaking our momentum. On the other hand, the Demoncrat opposition is starting to attack us on our strong suit, "national security," and the poll numbers are showing more and more Republican defectors don't feel as safe or as trusting under us as they once did.
Jesus Christ, Bushboy is down to 33% in the polls! That's just about the percentage of our rock solid evangelical base. Cheney is at 18! Why did he have to go hunting quail in his condition? Lucky the sheriffs agreed to come back the next day to interview him, when he was, uh, more sober in his judgment. (Good one, that!)
We've got to do something drastic to change the news agenda. Wonder if there's anything in the works: An assassination? A terrorist attack inside the U.S.? Some "missing" WMD that suddenly gets found in Iraq? Maybe a bit more anthrax powder making its way through the halls of Congress? Bombing the Iranian nuclear facilities? McCain taking over as Veep after Cheney resigns for "health reasons"? Something. Anything?
THE CLUELESS OPPOSITION
The point, which I have to keep reiterating to the weak-kneed down in the bunker, is that no matter how outrageous our behavior, no matter how much the Dems and a few GOP moderates twist and shout in pain and anger, we don't have to worry. They haven't got a clue how to stop us.
We were declared the winners in 2004 (notice I didn't say that we "won the election," hee hee), and that was the referendum on our rule. The Dems don't get do-overs. Assuming we can squash all this talk about censure/impeachment, hold onto the House in November, and keep our media boys in line, the Dems will just have to wait until 2008 for another one of their losing tries.
And, if we're lucky, they'll pick Hillary and we'll get another four years of Republican rule, with our guys still in positions of power throughout the three branches.
Eat that pickle, you pinko liberals.
