If this were 2006, these privatized pseudo-police would be the "good guys". For the GOP, the government is always bad as logn as they aren't in charge.

]]>If people quit when the going gets tough, you will never accomplish anything. The side which is most resilient, determined, and never quits ultimately wins.
Always taking the 2-minute down the road point of view.
Not just you, but the press. Obama goes on vacation and the wailign starts: "Where's Obama????? Should he be going on vacation now?????"

]]>Kos & co have the right idea: Primaries. Make the party bluer.
We are very close to winning here. If we come up short, it is just barely. No reason for a quitter's attitude now.
]]>Kyl's, and the GOP's, attitude, is essentially barbarism. It's a Hobbesian state of nature, where the strong take from the weak, sick, old...
