What the Democrats should do to win the midterms - and the '08 race for the White House. I'm sorry, but I have to say
I hope they don't!
"Why is that, you ask?" Two reasons, I reply:Reason one - I don't want the congress all balled up in More In Sorrow Than In Anger hearings about every hangnail displayed by the present administration. That's a lotta hangnails. To say nothing of all the other little blemishes on the body politic. It would be even less edifying than the spectacle of the rabid Republican hypermoralistas lewdly eyeballing a smudged velvet dress.
Reason two - I want it made Rub Your Nose In It Clear that the credit due for the present and soon-to-be-future state of affairs belongs entirely to the children of the night er, right, that is.
Speaking of the right; did anyone remark on Presidential wannabe Newt Gingrich's
American Eleven - A Values Led Plan for Victory in November?
Clearly, Newt is more of an Idea Man than a Details Man. It's pretty bold of him to claim that this congress (or any forseeable congress, of any major party makeup) is about to balance the budget, or take any substantive action on energy issues, other than giving money to big corporations to "research" energy efficiency. Most of the government giveaway money is funged into the pockets of the corporate heads who managed to get their hands in the governments pockets.
At any rate, I am somewhat, or slightly, or hopefully, confident that Newt will end up alongside Bill Frist as an embarrassed alsoran. But then, if the present President could get elected, and then re-elected, perhaps you really can fool all the people all the time.
