Today marks a strange occurrence. There is a buzz travelling across the country. It seems that, however so slightly, Democrats and Republicans are actually in agreement about something: The escalation of the war won't solve anything.
But there is yet another interesting change in events.
Democrats, who are primary against the war and only grow stronger in their beliefs in each passing day, tend to be viewing the increase in troops as a waste of time, and view the "plan" with a resigned indignation brought on by their faithlessness in the President. <-- This, of course, is nothing new.
Where the real surprise arises is that Republicans are the ones who are actually pissed at the president for not pulling troops out. From the New York Times:
“What I don’t understand is who the president is listening to,” said Mr. Polidoro, a life-long Republican who like a majority in this Republican district voted for an anti-war Democrat in the last election. “If vets, military brass, the Baker Committee, the international community and now most voters say it’s time to get out, then in my view it’s time to get out.”For over 3 years now, Democrats have been urging not just the president, but the entire country to get the troops out of Iraq, and as time passed we felt our voices fading against a thick, dense wall. The president's new proposal didn't shock Democratic citizens into an anti-war tirade because we have been kept silent by an incompetent boob who decides everything on his own, regardless of public opinion.
But the Republicans are finally the ones angry. They are finally turning off Fox News and watching MSNBC. They are finally not listening to conservative robots like Michelle Malkin and Sean Hannity spew BS like Diarrhea out their mouths, and starting to ask the question:

Check this out, Librocrat. I just saw it the other day. To a Brit the word "malkin" means an untidy, slatternly woman or a grotesque. Truth in advertising for a wanton GOP woman such as Malkin.

We'll apparently have to invent something for "Hannity" ourselves.
