Default OT - Coulter

Perhaps such significant majorities of Americans agree with
conservatives because conservative ideas are so far Out Of The
Mainstream?


Okay, now you're hallucinating.

"*Significant* majority," my ass.

Even if the SCOTUS-aborted Florida recount had gone the way right-wing
sycophants allege, Bush's margin of victory was under 1,000 votes, with more
than five-thousand butterfly ballot-voting Jewish Senior Citizens
inexplicably voting for Pat Buchanan. Nationwide, Bush lost the popular
election by half a million votes and after squeaking out the slimmest
possible majority from the GOP-packed Supreme Court, took office with a
margin of 5 Electoral College votes.

In 2002, the conservative-dominated mainstream media blared out a Republican
"landslide" in Congressional elections, it conveniently omitted the fact
that fewer than 5,000 votes, distributed differently in selected races,
would have resulted in Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress.

After 9/11, the President enjoyed support from 86% of Americans and
universal approval from all but the most radical Islamic states of the
world. Since then, arrogance, lies, and incompetence have turned that
support into alienation of traditional allies in the UN, NATO, and Asia. By
the thinnest of margins, the Republican Congress has turned a $3 trillion
surplus into a $4 trillion deficit while lining the pockets of the super
rich and war profiteers such as Halliburton.

The party that touts "traditional family values" has levied a huge deficit
burden on their children and grandchildren and committed 100,000 sons and
daughters to bear arms in Iraq for as long as there is terrorism in the
world.

No wonder public opinion polls show Bush can garner only a razor-thin margin
over any generic Democrat.

*Significant* majority? You're fooling yourself.
