    Republicans: Tiresome Rhetoric, Group Think Simplicity

    Let the Righties keep singing the "Bush shows resolve, Democrats want to surrender" mantra. They think nobody has caught on to what that nonsense really means. They have yet to learn the rule about when to stop digging.

    Yes, there are different ideas on what to do about Iraq, and various Democratic leaders espouse different ideas. It is called liberalism. It is the opposite of the group-think mentality that has got us into the very inexplicable mess we are now in.

    Republicans get into lock step upon the first (and worst) idea they come up with, then stand by that decision come hell or high water.

    Isn't everyone glad that Bush isn't going to flip-flop on one of the worst decision and plans regarding war in the past two centuries? Whew, he's ruined the reputation of the finest country on the planet and killed many people in the process...but at least he's not a "flip-flopper."
