My sentiments echoed here: Let's give credit where it is due. Democrats and their media friends have done a spectacular job of creating a false reality in the minds of many Americans.  Many Americans are now  living in a world of make believe.  They've been made to believe many things that just ain't so, and to discredit things that are.

The Democrats in elected office and in the media made them believe that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction.  He did.  They made the voters believe that there was no connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda.  There was.  The left-wing media/political machine made the people believe that there was no connection between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. The connection has been shown.  The American people, thanks to the constant drumbeat of Democrats in the press and in public office,  believe that there was no connection between Iraq and 9/11.  There was. 

Republicans are floundering.  They're watching the polls slide while they essentially do nothing.  There is not one single bold Republican initiative before the voters that can arouse voter passions.  Nothing.  Seven months and counting.
