Some See Risks if Howling Moonbats and Traitors Like Democrats Ever Get Into Power Again
NYT is sowing the seeds of doubt.
The only people worried is the left (democrats).
Is it possible the Republicans are FINALLY acting as the majority party that they are and have been for some years?
Is if finally possible that Republicans are FINALLY starting to take over in the unelected agency offices of the government?
The NYT does not report news, they direct spin. Why would they write this now if not to protect the left?
"Still, Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic National Committee chairman, disputed the long-term meaning of the gains, arguing Democrats would have won the White House had 60,000 votes shifted in Ohio, and said Mr. Bush had enjoyed a "huge advantage" because of the attacks of Sept. 11."
Too bad Terry's on his way out, he's been so entertaining, not to mention helpful for Republicans!
Hillary has an absolute zero charisma and she projects zero leadership. She cannot win the Presidential election, it is impossible.
"Knowing what we know now, the presidential election of 2008 is probably a tossup."
So is the election of 2032. So? I don't see the point of this comment.
"Every time someone runs on a conservative platform - they win. Works every time."
Bill Jones beat Boxer in California?
Bill jones was a bad candidate from what I hear. I guess you can be a bad candidate on a good platform and lose.
I'm thinking for the primaries we will again see the power struggle...Clinton vs Kerry (Kennedy) and someone else will emerge from the scuffle.
Yes, it sounded like some sort of wishful thinking on the part of this leftist that the conservative "cycle" is growing a bit too old. I attribute the fascination of the public with big government to be a function of those who credited FDR with ending the Depression, and as the voters who remembered and liked the New Deal started dying off in the mid 1970's, we have entered a more conservative time. Even Clinton tried to co-opt the language of conservatism to fool under-50% "majorities" into voting for him.
The Baby Boomers have no memory of FDR, but they do remember Reagan's "Morning in America". They'll also live a lot longer than their parents' generation, and will keep the GOP in power for a long time.
I don't recall similar articles when the Dems were in power for so many years.
I guess the author of the article will feel better when the Democratic overlords return. Get a life!
Wow, the NYT is late to the bandwagon, who would have thunk it. These articles were out last week and this spin was put on by the MSM during the innauguration as well. It was as if there never was a campaign. These issues were beaten and beaten and beaten like a dead horse. IRAQ=VIETNAM was the central theme of the Kerry campaign. "Growing unease about Iraq," gimme a freaking break. The majority of the voters did not buy the Iraq is Vietnam shyt during the campaign and they are not buying it now. Pure MSM self delusion.
It is interesting to note that as the Iraqi elections draw near, our media is turning up (if that were even possible) the IRAQ=VIETNAM heat. Perhaps the MSM is getting desperate because they know Iragi elections are a significant accomplishment and the MSM views this as the last chance to damage Bush on this issue. Meanwhile, Zarqawi releases a 90 minute screed railing against the elections and ups the violence. Perhaps he is getting desperate because he knows Iraqi elections are a significant accomplishment and this could be the last chance to derail them. Oh, the parallels in thinking never cease to amaze.
"overhauling Social Security and the tax code - those issues, if handled incorrectly, could undercut Mr. Bush's long-term goal for the party. "
Oh sure, we politians should just sit on our a$$ and do nothing in order to maintain power. This is why W aint no ordinary pol.
We can't achieve peace, we cannot have democractic societies, we cannot reform S.S., we cannot overhaul the tax code, we cannot stop junk lawsuits, we cannot appoint constructionist judges...why we might as well give up.
No Dice. We aren't playing around anymore. Sooner the editoralists and politicians in D.C. understand we're through complaining without results the better for them. We have a President that doesn't give a damn what people say, he'll pursue it if he believes it is right. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don't, but at least he can be counted upon to take these issues on despite the naysayers.
The electorate is rapidly becoming articulate, well informed and activists on a local level. The days of slacking off on our dime are coming to an end.
