OBAMA: It's going to be cynicism that we're fighting against. It's the
cynicism that's born from decades of disappointment, amplified by talk
radio and 24-hour news cycle, reinforced by the relentless pounding of
negative ads that become the staple of modern politics, the cynicism
that asks us to believe that our opponents are never just wrong, that
they're bad, that our motives in politics can never be pure, that
they're only driven by power and by greed. It's a game, a blood sport,
with folks keeping score about who's up and who's down. At best, it's
a diversion. With such cynicism, government doesn't become a force of
good, a means of giving people the opportunity to lead better lives,
it just becomes an obstacle.

Dim Senator Barack Obama to the Dims at the winter get together...

meet any hardship, support any friend,
oppose any foe to assure the survival
and the success of liberty.'

The irony in this post is quite amusing.

Yes it is. Cynicism brought on by the Democrats themselves and 40 years of
control of the Congress, and the Klinton administration.
