Nadine, that proves my point. But someday the chickens will come home to roost. The deficit will have to be paid with taxes, the overtaxing of the military will have to stop or the military will have to be increased and that will mean ever higher pay, (it's much higher now and the numbers are just holding), the "victory is being secured in Iraq" mantra will fall on deaf ears, the incompetent "loyalists" placed into positions of vast power in the bureaucratic system will continue to fail miserably, some group of terrorists will finally make a tactical decision to hit the US, the "wartime" economy being propped up with huge spending and no taxes will run out of steam, or we'll be out competed by other countries who aren't devoting hundreds of billions of dollars and countless human resources into a war that has no end and grows worse with every Iraqi we kill. At some point in that series of events good old self-interest will result in a re-prioritizing of interest away from whether a couple of in love homosexuals got "married" on the east coast or whether some kid that someone heard of didn't get into Harvard, and a lot of votes will change.
