“Suicidal glory is the luxury of the irresponsible.
We're not giving up. We're waiting for a better opportunity to win.”

" I don't think I've ever met a Liberal whom I didn't like on a personal basis. That said, if your goal is to change minds and influence people, it's probably not a good idea to begin by asserting that virtually all elected Democrats are liars. But what the hell."

GORE is an anagram for OGRE
This is your brain on political subliminal advertising

"Kill the rat, kill the cat, kill the dirty Democrat."

-- Schoolyard chant heard in Norwalk, Conn., during the presidential election in 1956 -- The Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard, 1957

I remembered the Al Gore RATS subliminal last Wednesday, but didn't feel like it. Remember? The stink made in 2000, when a Republican ad slamming Gore's health care proposal let the "RAT" part of "BUREAUCRAT" linger on the screen for a millisecond? The MSM went ballistic, and two liberal senators wanted hearings... . I know what you're saying, "so why get upset when the DNC does the same thing, and superimposes an "X" over Cheney's face?"

Here's why. The DNC surrogate (CNN) responsible for the "X" gimmick, also masquerades as a news agency. Anyway, I like that "Kill the rat, kill the cat, kill the dirty Democrat" thing. Lalalalala ... It's cute. Kids were well educated in 1956.
