Will The Wave Begat The Tsunami?

8:06 pm EST March 26th, 2007 | News | 6 Comments

In 2006 a wave of anti-Republican sentiment swept the Democrats into power in the House and Senate. The 2008 election is 20 months away, but the signs are there for an absolute tsunami washing out the last remnants of conservatism. The Republican party is not happy with their choices for the presidency, evidenced by the fact that Fred Thompson – an actor who isn’t even in the race – has now begun rising in the polls. Now already we see Democrats emboldened on the senate front, while the GOP experiences serious pains. Speaker Pelosi has a comfortable margin in the House, but Majority Leader Reid would be seriously strengthened by a 60-vote majority (not including independent Joe Lieberman). Of course the country and Pelosi/Reid would be helped even more by a Democratic president.

    The Democrat party is not happy with their choices for the presidency, evidenced by the fact that Albert Gore – an actor from Tennessee who isn’t even in the race – has now begun rising in the polls.

    Yep. Al Gore could never win a “Democrat party” primary OR the majority of American votes. Especially if the American people turn against the Republicans.

    Yeah, even for you that was a really bad comeback. Try to write one incorporating the fact that nobody in the field had 50,999,897 people vote for them like Al Gore did.

    I think the party is showing some signs of stress: the left-far left tension over Iraq being one. Whatever happens in iraq, at this point, can only hurt thre Democrats. A surrender as the far-left wants polarizes the country against them. Staying the course in some form (as maybe Hillary leaves the door open to) alienates the money-bags hard left – the Sheenhanistas. Its a lose-lose proposition for the Dems.

    No matter what it can only hurt the Democrats? What the fuck is it with you ignorant assholes?
    You 28%s are getting more irrelevant every day.

    I know you don’t keep an eye on Washington when Democrats are in charge, but a lot of people have noticed that it took the Democrats less than 100 days to break their promises on pork barrel spending. They even abolished CRS’s reporting on pork projects, one of the few promises the GOP didn’t break in their 12 years in power.

    The simple arithmetic of defending fewer Senate seats favors the Democrats in 2008, but if they think they can go back to 1992-1993 ways of doing business, they’ll find themselves back in the situation that got them into trouble in the first place.
