lets see quick answer...
Bush selling his base out and Congress following along. Personally I dont care if we lose seats, in the long run they will know not to sell the conservtaive base which got them elected out.
Keynes said in the long run we are all dead. All that matters is the short run in politics, which becomes the long run. Putting Dems in is a nice way to get another 9/11, except next time it will be nukes. If you can live with that, you have no conscience.
