Yes, and if Bush had been running against Gore or Clinton in 2004, you might have a point. But that's not what happened, was it? Corbett's point was that Democrats said "the tide is turning" before the 2004 election and "look how that turned out", implying that they got their asses handed to them. I simply pointed out that Bush's margin of victory over Kerry in 2004 wsa historically a very narrow one, especially for a sitting President, suggesting that perhaps the Dems DIDN'T get their asses kicked in 2004.
Come on, admit it. The Dem's got their asses kicked big time in 2004.
They're making all of the same mistakes this time around so expect a repeat performance.
I'd hardly call what happened in 2004 an "ass kicking". Furthermore, the mistakes you speak of are only mistakes because the Repuglicans try and spin them as cowardly and confused.
2004 was nothing but lies and deceit and those lies are starting to be exposed. I voted for Bush in 2000, he lost me after Iraq and I voted for Kerry in 2004. I am what used to be called a Republican. However, those ideals that were held dear have been ripped apart by those who wish to grab too much power.
Think of what a Republican stands for, small government, strong civil liberties, weaker central government, isolationistic standards. All of that is gone. Now we have these control-freaks trying to destroy everything, if nothing but for power. People like you let them, because you think like they do.
"Wow, we sure kicked their asses this time, go team republican!!" Without thinking of what exactly you have done.
Look at Iraq. What is to be proud of there? Yet again Bush ignored every conventional military wisdom, ignorantly pushing forward. Even now they hide what they screwed up, lies and deceit all over again. Their plans have failed and now we are engaged in an unwinnable war. There are no victory conditions, no structure to fight, no leader to kill. Iraq will *NEVER* end and we will *NEVER* kill terrorism.
Stupidity would disagree, and does, and that is what Bush and the Repuglicans pander to.
