I'm sure you actually believe this.Originally Posted by j2k4
it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

Do I literally think the dems are standing on the capitol steps, fingers moist and upraised?
Not literally, no.
Figuratively?
No doubt about it.
Each Republican is rushing to any available press to insist their individual efforts brought about the Dubai withdrawal.
The official dem statement as of about 1 pm EST was as I have described it; they literally said they were deciding what their official stance would be.
This was reported coincidentally with one by Frist's office that he applied pressure last night calling for the Dubai cohort to withdraw, which pressure bore fruit today.
Other Republicans were making similar noises, but the status as "breaking news" precluded in-depth coverage of the entire litany.
In light of the Republican rush, it strikes me as hilariously odd for the Dems to release that particular statement, even in some misbegotten nod to party loyalty.
Apparently they have no minds of their own...

Truly amazing viewpoint.

The news is the news; what do you find so amazing about my viewpoint?

Ideologically, I can't be pigeon-holed like you.

Your Schumer quote is not at all a statement of stance, nor would I expect it to be, at such an early juncture.Originally Posted by vidcc
My point was that it seemed foolish to even bother with a statement to the effect of, "We are formulating our response" when such could normally assumed to have been the case.
It is as if they'd made a special effort to remind us that events should be expected to proceed as they always do in politics.
Let us say the it warranted nothing apart from a very profound...yawn, which I found humorous.
I guess I can't expect you to see it the same way, given your allegiances.
The Republicans are exhibiting no tendencies alien to the political genus.
Dogs lick themselves, too, but society and the media don't often note the fact.
As for Bush, he handled this with all the aplomb he demonstrated with Hurricane Katrina.
Now, I'll sit back and see how you manage to twist my extraordinarily non-partisan post into something....else.

Well then, I am wondering what exactly your original point is
it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
