1. I heard a guy make a great analogy. The movie "Cool Hand Luke.

remember the scene when jailhouse bully/top dog George Kennedy picks a fight with Luke?

Even though Luke gets the crap beat out of him by the bigger George Kennedy, he keeps getting back up and refuses to stay down.

After a while, all the other inmates (and even G. Kennedy) are saying, "Just stay down."

Luke won't. He keeps going until he's unconscious.

He lost the fight badly, but he gained the respect of every other inmate and Kennedy, who never tried to punk him again.

Why can't the Democrats get no respect?

You tell me.
