I mention Charley Reese here far more often than my actual interest in him would warrant–mainly because of my personally entertaining but ultimately doomed hobby of keeping his Wikipedia page free of (some) libel. But the reason he earned my respect in the first place, despite the many differences in our respective viewpoints, was because of stuff like this:
It is now clear that the proper name for the war going on in Mesopotamia is the "Republican War." Never before has a political party so decisively asserted ownership of a foreign war. …
The Republicans and their shrinking number of warmonger supporters have long since forgotten that the Republican War is an illegal war, a war of aggression launched against a country that had not attacked us or ever threatened to attack us. They have conveniently forgotten how the Republican War was sold to the American people with outright lies. They ignore the fact that the war was bungled from Day One and that ordinary Americans have paid a terrible price for those blunders.
I’d say the only hope of getting through to cat-hating Bush voters–as vanishingly slim as that hope may be–is to have them see an established conservative like Reese saying these things.
