An alleged Democrat pursues a Republican policy (or nominee) from the 1990s, and the Republicans squawk--because they oppose anything done by a Democrat. Those of us on the left, who would have opposed Hegel in the 1990s and who still oppose him now, are supposed to just suck it up and claim victory because of Republican opposition.

I want a new party.

Hell hath no fury like a war mongerer scorned.

Although there IS the possibility that McCain is suffering from some type of dementia. He is angry, confused and has been making some very BAD choices (Palin for example)
