We don't fear that liberal elites will come to power and fail. We fear that they will take that power and succeed in bringing about the world they want. God help us.
-- Mike Dooley

Invoking the Hon. Sen. Joseph McCarthy is, as usual, a tactic designed to remove all validity from the argument of anyone who disagrees with a liberal. The execrable Mr. Roush still waves the bloody shirt despite history; fact; Venona; etc. What is it with progressives anyway? They do not seem to be capable of progressing beyond the fairytales they recited in their salad days. Regardless, Sen. McCarthy was a true American hero in the mold of so many others who endured unspeakable scorn and lies despite the truth, honor and patriotism of their efforts. Mr. Roush seems not to have the character to shine the Senator's boots, or clean the bugs from his gun-canopy.

PINOCCHIO EFFECT
Re: George Neumayr's Bitter Pill:

I've heard much of late about the Bradley Effect and the Wilder Effect on politics.

I wonder when the Pinocchio Effect will kick in on Obama.

Remember Carlo Collodis story about a wooden puppet who wanted to become a real boy?Every time he told a lie, his nose grew longer setting back his chances.
