In part it is about the lack of a program-based opposition strategy to which all the party's factions agree. Absent that, all that binds them is anger--over 2000 and 2004, but especially Florida. As described almost daily in print or pixels, the Bush wins were somehow false--a function of "social conservatives," "the extreme right," "the religious right" and sketchy voter machinations.

If the Democratic argument takes root, then elections themselves have lost legitimacy in the American system. They no longer have relevance to a President's ability or right to govern. We won't let you govern because we do not admit the legitimacy of your victory.This is a radical position. But so is drawing to an inside straight. I'd raise them through 2008. Start with a throw-down of the nuclear option.

Pretty insightful....

And .. I believe this is exactly what the Bush admin had already realized .. this assault against a legally elected President cannot stand - IT HAS TO BE SLAPPED DOWN.

It's going to be ugly .. but it's the only way to handle these democrats. They're just out of control.
