He’d crush her in 2008, Zogby predicts. I’d concur; and I’d eagerly support him. But can he win the nomination with the Christianists so opposed? I doubt it.
SANTORUM VERSUS ROVE: The senator trying to win re-election doesn’t believe 9/11 divided all liberals from all conservatives, as Karl Rove has said. By the way, I’m troubled by some news accounts saying that all that Rove said was that liberals were “wimps” when it came to 9/11 terror. The left that he rightly decries weren’t wimps. They merely thought America deserved being attacked – a vile notion, but hardly wimpy. As for liberals who worry that the U.S. has descended into lawlessness with regard to the detention of “enemy combatants,” Rove didn’t call them wimps. He called them traitors, putting the troops at risk. He attacked not their views but their motives.
ISLAMISTS VERSUS GAYS: The hostility is there on the streets of New York City – fledgling now, as it once was in Amsterdam. The war we are fighting against these theocratic fascists is not one that should divide conservatives from liberals; it’s one we should all endorse as critical to the survival of Western freedom. That goes especially for the prime targets of these religious fanatics: Jews and gays and women. Good for a conservative lesbian in NYC for taking a stand. We need more like her.
GALLOWAY’S SMEAR: He’s up to his old ways with regard to anyone daring to support the democracy that is Israel.
