I will occasionally check out the postings that the Daily Kos to get a sense of the left’s take on current events. Every now and again, one finds a particularly idiotic rant. Consider the reasoned logic of Bill in Portland Maine. He writes a rant entitled “How Wronger Can You Idiots Be???” Note the careful word crafting and punctuation. The title reflects the well communicated ideas Bill has of why the Republicans are wrong on just about every issue. Consider:
You’re still all wrong on Iraq. Completely, utterly, insanely wrong on everything there. The list has gotten too long to print. And I’m sorry, but killing al-Zarqawi had nothing to do with you and everything to do with the intelligence and fortitude of our troops, 2,500 of whom have, or will, come home in pine boxes. For what? Instead of bashing Democrats for not “having a plan,” why don’t you tell us yours? Because you can’t, that’s why. Because your precious leader, George “30 Percent Approval” Bush, is too busy polishing his and Condi’s stationary bikes to admit that he fucked up royally—the biggest mistake in presidential history. And you’re too busy giving him a free pass to notice. Idiots.
You’re still wrong on global warming. And now we know you’ll not only resort to doctoring scientific documents to hide your wrongness, but you’ll endorse a smear campaign against Al Gore for lifting the veil of carbon-based emissions to reveal your head-in-the-sand non-response to this looming crisis. For the gazillionth time…the debate is over. Yet you still insist on fighting to prove just how wrong you can be. You guys couldn’t suck any harder if you were siphoning gas from a Hummer.
You’re still wrong on homeland security, too. Our ports, borders and infrastructure aren’t any more protected now than they were a year ago. How is this even possible?? We’ve been at terror threat level “Yellow” for 1,550 days, and at “Blue” or “Green” for zero. You actually wanted to turn over the security of our ports to a country that helped fund the 9/11 attacks. And now you’re cutting Homeland Security funds from cities like New York and Washington, D.C. that are most vulnerable to a terrorist attack. But that’s okay—the Federal Duct Tape Reserve Closet is stocked and ready for action at the first sign of sarin gas.

You’re still wrong on those idiotic tax cuts. They haven’t stimulated job growth, nor have they helped the middle or lower class climb any rungs on the economic ladder. Last week you spent valuable time trying to abolish the
deathestate tax, which benefits 0000.25 percent of the U.S. population. But at least you had the sense to vote on gay marriage in the same week—it’s an important issue to a full one percent of the general public. I hear you’ll be tackling flag burning next, which affects a whopping zero percent of We the People. Maybe it’s just as well—more time spent screwing up the fringe issues means less time spent screwing up the important ones. It may buy us just enough time to put the grownups back in power before we become China-Lite.
And he drones on and on. I guess this is an annual installment. Lovely.
With this type of reasoned, well referenced discourse, how can conservatives ever hope to prevail 
?
