Here's a great letter to the editor from today's New York Times:

David Brooks has outdone himself in his spin on the Lieberman loss in Connecticut. It is ludicrous to argue that Senators John McCain and Joseph I. Lieberman represent the voices of reason in America when they have been such outspoken advocates of the disastrous Iraq war.

If there is to be a third party formed, it will be by someone bold enough to lead the opponents of that war, with 60 percent of the people already opposed to it. Now there’s the base for a new party!

Kenneth N. Davis Jr.
Stamford, Conn., Aug. 10, 2006
The writer was an assistant secretary of commerce/international in the Nixon administration.

There were four today and they all echo Mr. Davis' comments.

Watching McGlaughlin I have been agreeing with Pat Buchanon lately. How scary is that? Apparently Mr. Bush really is a uniter. He is uniting all of us against him. Anyone who thinks realizes that the Iraq War is a Fiasco and is not helping us in the "war on terror". It is increasing hatred towards us and has created a training ground for terror.

I'm up to 2004 and the capture of Saddam in Fiasco. Once again, we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory because it could have been a turning point in the war. But lack of leadership foiled victory again. It is amazing to see how the apologists for the war recycle the same rhetoric for any occasion. What they said about Saddam's capture they also said about Mousawi's death.

And the beat goes on.

By the by, McGlaughlin seems to think we will take both the House and the Senate in November but that will actually hurt us in '08 because we will then share the blame for the failing economy.
