Not Even the Defeatocrats Would Be This Stupid...

...would they?

The six were Republican Sens. Larry Craig of Idaho, John Sununu of New Hampshire and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Democrats Richard Durbin of Illinois, Kenneth Salazar of Colorado and Russ Feingold of Wisconsin. Feingold vowed to launch a filibuster, which would scuttle the Patriot Act extension unless 60 senators opposed his effort. Some Republicans said Democrats would be foolhardy to block an "anti-terrorism" bill on the eve of an election year.

Let's see, the Democrats will filibuster the Patriot Act? I guess it fits the mould. They appear to believe Americans want to lose the war as much as they do. An amazing example of political suicide by a once great party.
