Some sort of psychological disconnect.

UPDATE: New Quote: This I my favorite.

"they're the party of "the ends justify the means." And they have an incredible lust for power. The only way they think they can get us is to burn down that house with an ethical cloud over it, and so their only agenda is this kind of politics of personal destruction." Huh? Democrats talking about the Republicans assault on Clinton? Nope, Tom Delay accusing the enemy of doing what they do.

Nothing fascinates me more than when Republicans or Conservatives blame others of crimes that they themselves are perpetrating. It's a weird mania, I have a feeling psychologists have years of research on such unhealthy behavior, and I have a feeling serial killers exhibit this type of behavior, claiming a woman they killed had ditry thoughts when they themselves are the dirty thinkers.

"In truth, they have endless ambitions of imperial domination and they wish to make everyone powerless except themselves…They seek to end dissent in every form and to control every aspect of life and to rule the soul itself."

Someone talking about the Republicans?...no, it's Bush in his speech 10/5/05

Here's another one...

"We have now left entirely the field of normal political conflict and entered a twilight world where fantasy is presented as fact and the only standard of conduct is "will it work?". This is not the actions of a political Party engaged in seeking a majority - it is the action of a Party determined to destroy its opponents entirely and sieze all power for itself...it is, in short, the stuff from which civil wars are made."

A blogger talking about the Republicans?...no, a Conservative Blogger talking about the idictment on Tom Delay. He continues, if only irony fueled SUV's...

"I really do urge our Democrats to step back from the edge - you are sitting in a lake of gasoline and you are playing with fire. We on our side will only put up with so much before we start to pay back with usury what we have received. If you can't defeat Tom Delay in the electoral field, then you will simply have to accept him as Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives - and you'd better start accepting political reality before things get really bad."

And there's lots more where that came from, I'll keep reposting this as I find more.
