"Damn," they think. "We'd have recreated Eden here on earth if it weren't for the media. Or the Democrats. Or the gays. Or the French." Or whoever. The continued conservative fantasy of perpetual underdoggedness is a hungry beast.

Similar to their whole "activist judges" thing. And similar to their whole power grab thing. They want 100%. If they had their way, this country would have one party rule. I agree with some conservative ideology, but I hate the way they govern. It verges on gestapo-like.

I wish the media didn't operate like People magazine, but like the liberal media fallacy(that died 25-30 years ago) your assertion that Bush is some sort of persecuted President is laughable. Nixon, Clinton, and Carter are all laughing how supersoft criticism is in todays media. Frank,

Wow, we have something incommon! BTW, the Republicans are doing the same thing, as well. Shall we say gay marriage and flag burning, and, possibly, terror alerts. Did you ever hear the saying, "You can fool some of the people some of the time..." I just hope you can quote it better than your brilliant leader.

When his popularity was high, anyone who questioned this administration was labeled a traitor (well, they're still labeled that now, it's just that most don't buy that anymore). Now when the administration is questioned, the new label should be "Average American" (see polls). Why aren't you average Americans anymore Frank and Farris? What special insight do you have that the rest of us don't? After listening to you and your ilk blather endlessly on this web site, I'd say you're mindless Republican robotons who see success where the vast majority of us see abject failure. Why are you so sure you'll be winners in the fall? You're so disgustingly cocky about a win you haven't even gotten yet. Hardly ever?
