Found via Making Light, a 2005 post on Kung Fu Monkey that's become relevant again as Bush's poll numbers have broken the 30-percent barrier (traveling downward, I mean) in several major polls.
I've heard. What sux is that Romney's star ascends as a result. If McCain disappoints me, Romney frightens me. AFAICT he's the Handmaid's Tale candidate.
As far as I can tell, they are ALL Handmaid's Tale material, except Giuliani, but he's still got enough of a scary facistic streak to completely cancel out his slightly-socially-liberal stance on a couple issues.
Yeah, Giuliani is lost potential a lot like McCain. He could have used his position to take a really stunning independent stance on the terrorist threat as it actually stands, but instead he uses it to try pushing the Bushian "Ooh, watch out, terrists gonna gitcha!!" message further than anyone else so far. Very sad.
