Hoist By Their Own Petard.

Check out Andrew Sullivan for a fascinating compendium of quotes about Ronald Reagan from lefties back in the eighties. It affords a fascinating glimpse of how the left got the man so wrong. They never learn, though, nor do they ever seem to be embarrassed by their dismal track record. They just keep on making the same mistakes. In the eighties the target of their errant sniping was RR, today the beneficiary of their foolishness is GWB. Someone once pointed out that neurosis is doing the same thing over and over, hoping that somehow you'll soon get a different result. The left seems to believe that if they beat their heads against the brick wall hard enough and long enough eventually the wall will collapse. We'll see, but I suspect they're more likely to suffer brain damage.
