Why has her appeal only increased in the wake of her catastrophic political expeditions? Why won't she listen to, or abide by, conventional political wisdom? <br /><br />"The answer lies beyond the realm of polls and punditry in the political psychology of the movement that animates and, to a great degree, controls, the Republican grassroots -- a uniquely evangelical subculture defined by the personal crises of its believers and their perceived persecution at the hands of cosmopolitan elites." <br /><br />Yup.Tulsannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460674773445742325.post-27344173212616202042009-11-15T00:39:33.626-06:002009-11-15T00:39:33.626-06:00Yoo, Rumsfeld and Cheney and co. need to be in the...Yoo, Rumsfeld and Cheney and co. need to be in the NYC dock, too.Tulsannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460674773445742325.post-1908770532867769492009-11-14T22:38:48.432-06:002009-11-14T22:38:48.432-06:00My conservative friends are certainly howling abou...My conservative friends are certainly howling about the matter. I think all we are trying to do is go back to the this country being a country of laws rather than a kingdom.<br /><br />I don't know how they are going to keep the torture that we inflicted on the terrorists out of the courts. I'm wondering if some of the guys from the Bush Administration who okayed such torture on these guys are getting a little nervous. In a country of laws they might have reason to worry.<br /><br />I don't feel the least bit sorry for the terrorists. What I'm mad about is that the Bush administration gave the go ahead to our enemies to torture our soldiers when they were caught.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.com
