DeMint said about power grabs is that, for a moment, I assumed he was referring to the Republican's attempts to suppress votes in Ohio and Florida, among other places. Needless to say, I quickly came to my senses. I don't think Sen. DeMint will be able to say the same.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-77609814701913011732009-07-10T05:18:34.226-07:002009-07-10T05:18:34.226-07:00I've observed over the past few years that if ...I've observed over the past few years that if a conservative makes a totally outrageous accusation against a liberal, the accusation is <a href="http://www.issuepedia.org/Mirror_argument" rel="nofollow">usually true about the conservative</a>, or those s/he supports.<br /><br />This is often unintentionally revealing on the part of the conservative. What was Bush doing while he was in office? DeMint has helpfully given us a sketch: "You still had votes but the votes were just power grabs..." .. "People become more dependent on the government so that they're easy to manipulate." (think Homeland Security, the PATRIOT Act, the Iraq War...) "And they keep voting for more government because that's where their security is." .. "When our immigrants get here, they're worried, because they see it happening here." ...which of course is why most of them voted for Obama.Woozlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948248776908775080noreply@blogger.com
