"wasting so much negative energy "
bump to that.
Reminds me of a line that Tony Snow had on Rush yesterday - don't recall the exact wording but in effect it was that Dems were polar opposites basically of GOP. Dems are saddened by victories and instead celebrate losses. I need to find it.
Went to Rush just now and found it. Here is the sentence that captures a nice distinction between GOP and DEMS:
Tony Snow: "[the Democrats] want to cast every success as an occasion for gloom."
It is so true. Just stroll through DU and you can see it in the titles of their threads.
It is from this exchange yesterday on Rush's show:
TONY SNOW: "When's the last time Howard Dean made you feel better about yourself or your country"?
RUSH: "Well, obviously never, nor does Nancy Pelosi. None of them do. They anger me at why they are so opposed to progress in this country on every angle".
TONY SNOW: "Yeah. No, I think that's right, and they also want to cast every success as an occasion for gloom. I'm just not buying it".
"If you look at what our forces have done in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's miraculous. We ought to be celebrating them. If you look at what American workers have done, it's miraculous, we ought to be celebrating them, and you've got a president who's looking at the next two years saying, "I want to roll up my sleeves and do more."
"There's no more positive politician in America today than George W. Bush".
