Just wait until 2008. If the elections were held today with the projected candidates, the GOP would win.
You have numbers to back that up? Because everything I've read about potential matchups has exactly ONE repub doing anything remarkable in a head to head with the dem potentials...and that's McCain vs Hillary.
To claim that all the "problems" in the world are caused by the GOP is just ignorant and naieve.
I'll agree, there. Not all the problems are CAUSED by the GOP. But they've done a piss poor job of solving the problems that are at hand, regardless of who, or what, caused them.
The Democrats are already not fulfilling their promises, such as fully implementing the 9/11 panels recommendations in the first 100 hours of congress.
It remains to be seen how many promises are not fulfilled and how many are. You're citing one example. Should I cite the myriad of examples of Repubs, and this administration in particular, have failed to fufill their promises to the American people? The American voter decided they wanted to see how the other guys would do on the scorecard....
Again, there was no mandate for change. Most of the elections were a percent or two if not a few thousand votes. To me that doesn't state that Americans have completely abandoned Republican values and switched to the Democratic party.
Then '94 wasn't a mandate, either, and the dems are still ruling Washington. The last 8 years didn't happen. Wow, thanks for letting me in on that. Glad to know it was all a very bad dream.
You seem incapable (unwilling, I suspect, actually) to understand how the political system works, what history tells us, what the exit polls from the election told the country, and prefer, instead, to bury your head in the sand and recite the "no mandate" mantra despite reality crashing down around your head. Let us all know how that works out for you. FYI, that tactic surely backfired when used by Rove and the rest of the GOP leadership leading up to the elections.
Until the Democrats come up with solutions and not just finger pointing, they're never going to have an impact on American policy again.
Eh hem.....because the Repubs were able to do that? Should we revisit what the Repubs did, back in '94 , in their first 100 days? And then what they've done since, throughout the rest of the Clinton presidency, and then through this administration? I'd dare say that, no matter what they do, unless the Dems decide to go poking in Bush's dirty sock drawer, they'll be more productive than that session of congress back in '94 was; at least inso far as accomplishing things for the American people and not backbiting, browbeating, and "taking revenge" on the dems. And the dems know they need to be. Because they have to to have their shot in '08.
It's funny, though. The only "finger pointing" I see, of late, seems to be coming from YOUR side of the aisle. I wonder why that is;
