I can't believe we're losing to these guys. Oh wait. We're not

Clearly when something like that is said/used by a frontline politician it's a little different to when its a rank and file party member, or constituent.

But...the outcry over the Palin rallies was huge. It filled UK news programmes, it was talked about on American chat shows and interview programmes, it sent ripples through the world. This hasn't. Not really.

At the time, Merc was again arguing the double standard because of a Palin dummy that someone hung on halloween night. He is consistent. I disagree with his perspective on this, but his point is consistent and drawn from evidence here and in the world.

These boards are full of anti-Bush and anti-Republican rhetoric. I happen to agree with it, and personally believe it is a better founded 'anti-' than the anti-Democratic, anti-Liberal rhetoric that also abounds here. We see the patterns that we discern from the mass, and that discernment is founded upon our own interests and proclivities. Consequently, we intermittently have dwellars convinced the Cellar is anti-atheist, anti-religion, anti-American, anti-European, anti-Bush, anti-Obama, anti- X, Y and Z.

It is all of those things and none of them.
