GOP: A Dozen Points of Light
An article to today's Wash Post exploring the "just oppose" strategy of congressional Republicans to the stimulus notes they were emboldened to act by, quote, "dozens of emails and phone calls" opposing the stimulus.
That's right - "dozens." You know, I get a dozen emails at work before I even finish breakfast. But of course, I'm not an important member of the House of Representatives.
Hear me now, and hear me well--keep thinking that those dozens of contacts really represent the will of the American people. Keep thinking that Rush Limbaugh is an appropriate spokesperson for your party. And please, keep pissing off immigrants, pregnant women, and just about anyone who isn't currently sporting a penis, driving a truck and wearing a John Deere hat. You will make the task of creating a lasting progressive majority that much simpler.
Funny, DKDC! Good catch.

"Dozens" doesn't impress me either. And I don't think the stimulus is likely to be worth a damn.

How nicely this dovetails with republican logic and dubious reliance on facts. How does dozens evaluate to choosing as they have? This is just another instance of republican cherry picking in order to jusify an otherwise unjustifiable stance. The very same methodology that got us into the Iraq mess. Sometimes I think the republican strategy is to have every American dead and the country burned to the ground.
