  same old

  All the old republican smears were/are on full display: the democratic opponent is weak on defense, he doesn't love america, he's somehow "not like us".

  Then they added a bit of twilight zone:

  Mitt Romney said the most radically conservative administration since Torquemada was actually...wait for it...'liberal'. Oh! Since you say down is up, Mitt, it all makes sense how you can run against your own party's record!

  Then Huckabee did his Huckabee thing, complaining about the media when he used to be a regular on the Colbert Report, & playing out the plain folks trope while pretending he wasn't a governor who also ran for president.

  Then arrived Giuliani, who somehow morphed into a midwestern anti-eastern-elites farmer, forgetting he was mayor of the most elite city in the world. His gleeful cruelty & dishonesty should have therapists mailing their cards to his home.

  & let's not forget Lieberman - the man without convictions who arrived to vouch-safe for McCain's convictions.

  & ah...Sarah. Who doesn't love Sarah? Most everyone who wasn't vetted during the non-vetting vetting process, it turns out.

  They all combined to re-enforce the only tactic they know & can employ:

  Culture Wars! Yay!!! It's them dang Lib'rulls what done it!!!
