Apparently, I missed the debate:
The University of South Carolina's Koger Center for the Arts was the setting for the debate, sponsored by the South Carolina Republican Party and Fox News Channel. The channel's Brit Hume was moderating.
Underscoring the dominant issues, Americans Against Escalation in Iraq and the South Carolina Young Democrats sponsored a 20-foot mobile billboard to circle the debate site, bearing the phrases: "Republicans, Mission Accomplished?" and "McCain, Mission Accomplished?" And, activists affiliated with Planned Parenthood also were holding an abortion-rights rally outside the hall.
It sure doesn't feel like Wednesday already. How long was I out?
"and the candidates refused to acknowledge the military defeat in Iraq, instead trading terms generally considered code words for exclusion of racial minorities, attacking women's rights as established by the Supreme Court, and boasting of their intentions to cut taxes for the wealthiest one percent of Americans"
"Pictures at eleven..."
In all seriousness, I notice the future-readers at ABC haven't noticed the 10,000-strong FairTax rally that Neal Boortz ginned up, literally across the street from the debate tonight. I'm reasonably sure the people at that one are outnumbering the predicted protesters by at least 500 to one.
But they're not protesting for leftie causes, so we'll just ignore them. 'Kay?
Amazing. Republicans can’t even engage in legitimate political activity without Democrats protesting their very existence. I can only conclude Democrats want a one party system, like the old Soviet Union.
