Hear that sucking sound? That's the NYT going down the toilet. Bye-bye, gray lady; hello, cranky old hag!
Maybe yes and maybe no.
Sheesh...sounds like he should be writing for Ron Reagan...
Try 53%
Hmmm. I wonder how much of Thunes $$ came from out of state? I know my 74 year old mom gave money to Thune, just to oust Daschle, and she lives in this state, Alabama, so she is no constituent of Daschle's.
Daschle's defeat had a GREAT DEAL to do with his blocking votes on judicial appointments.
Play the Schwartzenegger sound bite, "Why should I talk to LOOSERS!"
The MSM will help the Donks to deny George Bush a mandate. You ain't heard nothing yet. The MSM will be in full shill mode for Donks same as during the election. It's a permanent war punctuated by election days
Sour grapes!
Dashle's defeat was aided by Bush/Rove talking Thume into running, lining up financial support for him, sending Frist, Cheney, and others in to campaign, spending Presidential campaign funds there even though the state wasn't in play, and the DNC having a massive GOTV program.
Bush doesn't like people who lie to him. Teddy is next.
Not if we can help it. Don't be counting your chickens before they hatch.
Hey, NYT staff: despite all your Bush-bashing, your side lost.
It must suck to be you.
Sounds perfect!!!
people keep underestimating George Bush and his team. If we go back to one of the earliest "nonpartisan" crisis - that over the downing of our survalence plane off of China, we can see how deftly that was handled in an extremely problematical situation. Whether it has to do with deficits, immigration or post-war iraq, yes there are problems, but i think many greatly underestimate the degree these problems are thought through and when there are mistakes, mid-course corrections are made. if people started with the assumption that maybe his policies are deeply thought out and then there are the inevitable mistakes, they would be closer to the mark imho.
The voters DID give him a mandate, he is going to spend his capital, SO GET USED TO IT.
I hate the NY Times. As far as I'm concerned, they don't exist and I could care less what they print.

C'mon, Lyn - - that's a partial truth and you know it. Neither Nixon nor Reagan had overwhelming majorities in the House and the Senate like Bush does. In fact, with the exception of the Senate for two years, Nixon and Reagan both had full-blown Democrat Congresses to deal with. Bush and the Republicans today have the clearest "mandate" since at least 1964.
Many of the Bush proposals, particularly on the budget and social security, and taxes, will have difficultly, because the numbers don't add up. But this piece is just pounding the keyboard. The writer doesn't have a clue how things will go. But Bush will get a serious and respectful hearing for his proposals, and will have a majority of Congress with an inherent bias to help him succeed. But some of his proposals will die, or emerge in a highly mutated form, because of the inherent difficulties attendant in implementing them. Watch, and you shall see.
Hey, NYTIMES, my trousers are around my ankles, now kiss my big behind. Guess what, we don't care if it's a mandate or not, we're going to act like it's one and Dems will resist the president at their own great risk. And, talk about deluding oneself, you've been doing that for years in the bizarre belief you publish a real newspaper.
It's hell being old enough to remember who Lyn Nofziger is, and then reading the babble on this thread.
