It's kind of funny, actually.
A bunch of Republicans sitting around moaning about how depressed Americans are with the state of their country and actually professing shock, yes, shock, at that.
I'm talking about the Livingston County Republicans' annual fund-raiser over the weekend.
Michigan's 8th District Rep. Mike Rogers actually claimed that he was surprised to hear high school students sound "dejected with the state of the country," according to the Livingston Press and Argus story in editions for Sunday (May 4, 2008).
After eight years of George Bush, with the lowest presidential approval ratings on record, Republicans claim to be surprised that people are "dejected"? Where have they been?
According to the newspaper, "Rogers stressed the importance of getting Americans to believe in America again...."
Rogers and his fellow Republicans are misreading the situation. People haven't given up on the country. They've given up on Republicans.
And it's about time.
