The Democrats of 2006 sound strangely like the Democrats of 1864, who urged Lincoln to abandon the Civil War as "not worth it," because "Lincoln's support was dropping fast, and people were looking for a way out of the war."
Gateway Pundit explicates the history as Democrats declared:
. . . hereby declare that they consider the administrative usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous powers not granted by the Constitution; the subversion of the civil by the military laws in States not in insurrection; the arbitrary military arrest, imprisonment, trial, and sentence of American citizens in States where civil law exists in full force; the suppression of freedom of speech and of the press . . .
Read it all at link above, and the articles linked through it. Don't miss what they had to say about Lincoln along the way . . .
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Pity, that.

Wow. When I talk about the Democrats using the same playbook from the 60's I always thought I was referring to the 1960's.
But I was really talking about the 1860's!!!
I humbly stand corrected.
Didn't they compare Lincoln to an ape or something like that? And of course Bush is stupid too (except when he's a brilliant matser mind in manipulating the American publicn for going to war in Iraq).
