It really isn’t a lesson, but more of a reminder. Democrats suck at politics. To the Democrats out there acting shocked over the Brown win, all I can say is “wake up!” We don’t need to turn back the pages of history more than a few months to remind us how bad Democrats are at […]
Markos explains why Harry Reid is an utter failure as a majority leader: Bill Frist never had 60 votes. Bill Frist never cared.

This shows how bad things really are: U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Monday that the Afghan war against Taliban guerrillas can never be won militarily and called for efforts to bring the Islamic militia and its supporters into the Afghan government.
