Playing political games

Maybe it's just that I've been on a bit of a tear about the Bush administration's unfamiliarity with the truth and inability to play things straight, but it seems that several other of the more liberal-oriented bloggers are on the same track this weekend. CalPundit's entry makes an excellent point:

Conservatives wonder why we liberals always seem to let our disgust with George Bush overshadow discussions of actual policy. This is why: because you can't trust a word he says. He's not trying to solve problems in a big and complex country, he's just playing political games.

You know, I think I was drafting my rant today at the same time you were putting this piece together. We must have been on nearly identical frequencies. Good gravy, for the days when a President would like about a blow job instead of a war...

I would like to see more discussion of actual policy. The conservatives are right: our disgust of George Bush does dominate our political talk these days.

And this progressive asks "So, if the Democrats come into power, what's going to change?" No dumb monkey stares. I've been getting enough of that from the conservatives and you folks claim to be better.

I blogged a partial response, Joel. There's more that could be different, but it will take different people.

Say, maybe even differentstrings... :)
