    Standard GOP Pablum

    They have the momentum when they're winning; they have the momentum when they're losing. Tax cuts are necessary in a time of surplus; tax cuts are necessary in a time of deficits. The surge is needed to secure Iraq; the surge is needed to hold the gains.

    "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."--Albert Einstein
