Reply #8: This Is A Crock Of Shit Assertion

[DemocratSinceBirth]

"After all, the Democrats have been here before. Repeatedly. In 2000, conventional wisdom had it that Al Gore would crush a Texas cowboy famous for little more than being his daddy's son. In 2004, how could John Kerry, a heroic Vietnam veteran, lose to that same cowboy who had just embroiled the country in a needless war. Conventional wisdom was deeply wrong both times."

His whole argument rests on an assertion that is demontrably false or in colloqial terms, a crock of shit... There was no widespread consensus that Bush* would lose in 04 and 00...In fact Bush was tied or had a lead in many of the polls in the months leading up to both elections...
