So you don't have to...

Pete searches out the editorial pages in the local papers to bring you the best and brightest in the wingnut community. I (depending on how well the chemicals are working) do the same with the right-wing blogs, via the helpful folks at the Daou Report at Salon.com.

Today, we bring you a post from a blog entitled "Just One Minute". They're discussing how bad the poll numbers look for the GOP, and how the right-wing base isn't energized nearly as much as the liberals this year. The post itself isn't outrageous, but then there's the comments:

hrtshpdbox brings us the following: And Bush is right on Iraq, of course, even while the general public becomes muddle-headed; if the only thing the war achieved was killing Zarqawi then it's an unqualified success, considering the harm he intended to inflict on the United States. No, Bush almost always gets it right, and his stubborness in the face of all the equivocation around him might very well have made us more safe, but the fault lies in his allowing the above "issues" [Schiavo, Harriet Miers, the Dubai Ports, Immigration, Foley - Ed.] to even be framed as pertinent in voters minds. His tax cuts worked, dammit, and we've got a strong economy with low inflation. Low unemployment, shrinking deficits. And no terrorist attacks at home. That Bush (and, by extension, Rove, who could only manage a squeaker victory over a candidate who ran on his war record despite various treasonous acts) is unable to use his bully pulpit to rouse the common sense in people, that's the problem. But, lest bitter recriminations begin too early, I'd add that the election hasn't happened yet, and there's perhaps still time...

kate adds this to the party: If Bush could have taken on his enemies, especially the MSM, they would have been discredited and less enboldened to be such enthusiastic and partisan participants in this campaign.

It's hard to support a President who won't fight back. It is totally demoralizing.

MikeM agrees with kate: Does Bush even care if the GOP retains control of the House and Senate? Maybe OUR guy ought to poke his finger in the other guy's face and call him out for once... Bush has more strengths than weaknesses but his normal political stance seems to put a lot of weight on his heels.

I'd quote more of them, but you get the drift. These people live in a world where Bush is most always right. Where he doesn't attack his politcal enemies, but instead sits back on his heels and takes it from them. Clearly, these are Schmidlap's "stupid" - I don't know anything about them personally, but they are, at best, gloriously out of touch with anything even vaguely resembling reality. I'm sure they're anxiously awaiting 11/8, when they can rewrite history to show that their side won.
