Upside down universe

So let's see: Pat Buchanan says the only reason Lieberman is running is ego and that he will lose in November. Ultraconservative former Congressman/current talk show host Joe Scarborough headlines his latest post "Is Bush an idiot?" and answers in the affirmative. New polls show Lamont has closed the gap with Lieberman to 11 points (massive movement, and his people better be out there spinning it right, they've done a crappy job so far and allowed Lieberman to define the debate). George F. Will in yesterday's column says Kerry was right about terrorism. Chris Shays won't pick between civil war or democracy as the outcome in Iraq and signals a call for troop withdrawal with a timetable certain (subscription required)...Everyone seems to recognize the bankruptcy of the Cheney/Lieberman administration except the national Democrats who are still hedging their bets despite the coordinated Lieberman/Cheney spitting in the party's face.When will these people get out of the Beltway and realize if the American people see Democrats don't have the guts to fight for their own party against Cheney/Lieberman, how can we ever trust them to fight for our country against terrorists?

Maybe Nader was right after all. No, he wasn't. Whatever their other problems, at least we know Republicans stand for something.
