Misguided optimism

Tennessee Guerilla Women found a couple of polls that say that

  1. Not only has support for George W. Bush hit an all-time low, but
  2. A majority of Americans support Roe v Wade and
  3. They want Supreme Court nominee John Roberts to publicly state his position on abortion.

So you know what I'm thinking tonight? Go ahead, Mr. Bush. Keep fighting your manical "war on terror." Overturn Roe v Wade. Jam your far-right partisan hack onto the Supreme Court. All you're doing is just ensuring the fact that the backlash, when it comes, will last longer and longer and longer.

As I said, misguided optimism.
