“No tactic, no program, no leader ever did more to catalyze the party than the rage Bush inspired. “

W and pubbies did well for 6 years before the Dems wore them down with their propaganda. It took just one year of left wing crapola to turn America against the Dems.

W is looking good in the rear view mirror.

FU EJ Dionne. YOU were one of the major perpetrators of the Blame Bush nonsense.

Instead of doing Investigative Journalism on Obama, you gave him a pass and slammed Bush at every opportunity.

It’s as much your fault, Washington Post, as the Democrats.

and they now remember why they hated them in the first place.

Yes, they hated the Dems for real things -- unlike Bush's unpopularity, which in large part was ginned up the constant drumbeat of the media (e.g., the president was golfing today, though unemployment stands at 5.4%, etc., etc., etc.). Rush has commented that the media convinced large swathes of the country that things were bad when they were really good and he wondered if they could succeed at convincing them that things are good when they're really bad -- looks like they can't!

RE :”Hey sicko, you’re one optimistic SOB, God bless ya. Must be hard, too...living in MD and all. Merry Christmas!

Sicko ??? That's Moore's single payer movie. is there a hidden message here?

Realistic ??? We are totally screwed. Our best bet is gridlock, and gold.

Optimistic ??? How about all those Republicans told by talk radio that Republican Party would win 2006? ...and then told the same thing again in 2008 and believed it again? Now talk about optimism.

What concerns me is the ‘pro-republican’ attitude here vs a anti-Washington attitude we need. Both parties are full of crap. At this point we need opposition and gridlock till Republicans and even conservatives figure out what they are 'for' and really 'against'(beyond just democrats) .

the party's slogan in 2006, "A New Direction for America." There was no need to specify north or south, east or west, up or down. . . .
. . . they just go 'round and 'round.

This is exactly what I keep saying. Every 20 or so years America loses it’s mind and elects a liberal government, last time was the first 2 Clinton years and before that Carter. The Dems each and every time remind America why they can’t be trusted in leadership positions.

The "its all Bush's fault" meme is no longer working. Bush won't be on the ballot in 2010. Taxes, regulations and unemployment will be.

Exactly! The GOP doesn't have the votes to stop Obamacare from passing. The Democrats are torn by infighting over whether the bill goes far enough to their real goal - a single-payer system. They couldn't even get the votes in the Senate for Bernie Sanders' SP amendment. In short, they have these huge congressional majorities but they can't govern and they can't deliver.
