Ah, to be a Conservative today.
Over 2,000 men and women have died fighting in a war that you won't dirty your hands with.
Even though you claim to support this war, unlike most of your countrymen.
Your president is weak, getting weaker and his approval ratings keep finding new lows.
There's a perception, shared by most, that his presidency is a failure.
High-ups in his administration, if not he himself, betrayed a goverment agent.
His new selection to the Supreme Court is flopping with the public.
The opposition party (I'm as shocked as you are) seems to have found their "balls."
What do you do? What do you do?
Well, if you're Sister Toldjah or La Shawn Barber among a remarkable number of others, you cast your mind back longingly to one year ago today, when:
The President stunned his critics both home and abroad by getting re-elected. The guy many of them thought (and still think) is the biggest idiot on the planet managed to win the election - which spoke implied volumes about their candidate, sending the opposition into denial, fits of apoplexy and, and of course the inevitable chants of: “he stole it” - a chant which still persists in some circles today.
Oh, there are people we think are bigger idiots. As Ben Kenobi said, "Who's the bigger fool, the fool, or the fool who follows him?" And all this over a one-percent margin of victory?
George Bush emerged from the 2004 presidential election victoriously. I’ve been giving him a hard time lately, but between him and John Kerry, I still think the better man won.
George Bush can’t be all men to all people. He’s only one man, doing what he thinks is best, I suppose. I hate his amnesty-for-illegal-aliens plan, but I’m glad he’s in the White House screwing up instead of John Kerry.
Amazing, isn't it? You know, if Egalia and Reid and I are right and we really are in the last days of the republican party, this will be the reason. An unwillingness bordering on inability to see when the elephant needs to be shot.

No...unfortunately, anti-war protests tend to activate my loathing of boomer nostalgia.
