18. group think is a dangerous thing
it is what got us into Iraq. And I think they are all in such agreement that they can not see anything but how "right" and "brilliant" they are. If this is true - they are going to break apart the GOP for years to come... as they will keep pursuing awful policies and forcing GOP congress to follow... or to fight... and at somepoint to follow will mean to lose their seat - and to fight means to get attacked by rove/delay and possibly lose their seat... big potential showdowns - all on their side of the aisle.

Shall we get popcorn?
