Brain Fertilizer

Yet again, conservatives give good advice to liberals.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen a conservative, moderate, or putative Republican explaining exactly what they don't like about a Democrat candidate or proposal, and going to outline exactly how the individual's support could be easily gained. It's almost as if (based on the liberal/Democrat reputation for fairness/equality/rights) most people would like to vote Democrat, but due to the reality of liberal/Democrats selling out integrity and equality in grasping for power, they just can't get past the gag reflex.

And I don't think I've ever seen a Democrat or liberal doing that.

Let me make that more simple: Most Republicans vote Republican because they think Republican policies make the most sense. If Democrats would make proposals that made more sense and actually demonstrated trustworthiness, they could win Republicans away in droves. But Democrats conversely feel that Republicans are evil and irredeemable, and there is no force on earth, no revelation of support or efficacy of Bush's actions that could get them to vote Republican. In fact, if Jesus Christ himself came down and said George Bush was carrying out God's plan, I'd bet the vast majority of Christian Democrats (assuming there are more than 100 or so) would probably take up Satanism.*

But I digress. Here's the obligatory excerpt:

But if you want to be the next president, and the Prime Minister of Iraq comes to Washington to address a joint session of Congress, where should you be?

In the U.S. Capitol chamber!

Not in a Columbus, Ohio firehouse!

Senator, if you win, you're going to have to work with this guy - or his successor. Kerry should have tried to get a meeting with Allawi himself, to try to make the challenger look like Bush's equal (when foreign leaders come to the U.S., they often meet with leaders of both parties on Capitol Hill. It's just common courtesy and protocol).

If my impressions are correct, what this actually says about the individuals making up the respective parties is a mental exercise left to the reader.
