I almost don't care anymore. If the American voters buy this crap then they, um, we deserve it. For all I know the Republican ideology exists somewhere on a pure plane ready to be frankly judged, but those bionic assholes were just scary and nasty, and what really hurts is they don't want my vote because they sure didn't ask.
On Glenn Greenwald's point- nice blog, because it allows an answer to the question: what should Joe Biden do? It seems so easy. Why do they have to keep trotting out that John McCain is a great patriot because he spent six years in a cage? Where are the other guys from the POW camp? Are they off running city councils?
If the Democrats can't attack this silly canard it's because their principles are so weak (which is better than being absolutely nonexistent, or reprehensibly harmful). Why not assert that intelligence and familiarity with the law and foreign affairs might be a good thing to seek out in a political leader? If the Democrats can't simply examine the recent record of the Republican candidates and come out looking better it does not say much for the Democrats. Or anyone. By gum, I'm so close to voting third party. But I probably won't press the red button. How depressing.
