Cy and Aaron, I refer you to today's posting.

"Blind devotion," "pom-pom shaking" and such characterizations
are obvious lies. When Bush does something wrong, conservatives make their disapproval known (immigration, the budget, Harriet Miers, any of this wring a bell?) Still, refusal to support immediate withdrawal from Iraq leads liberals to try to call us blind, unquestioning followers.

Blind devotion to a man opposed to the basic tenets on which this
country is founded is not patriotic either.

WriterofLight, No, it's like this. The disloyal opposition spends six
years issuing a barrage of changing and unconvincing rhetoric criticising and offering the opposite of whatever Bush says and does. Finally, after everyone is sick to death of war, a convoluted question on a poll confuses enough people with unclear logic, unparallel analogies and generalizations. They get a plurality to agree that it would be nice if no one ever had indigestion, and suddenly: POOF! There is a trend. Lol
