I don't buy this. Republican spending "cuts" were minimal, if they happened at all. Furthermore, spending that angered us the most (i.e. "The Bridge To Nowhere") was not cut at all. No. This is a "Republican" problem. Not the Republican President, not the Republican Senate, and not the House.

Republicans are in trouble because they have not acted like Republicans - at any level.

And I'm still not convinced that the House going back to the Rats in 06 would be that devastating. We've been there before and bounced back in a big way just two years later in '94. Fighting a 'Rat controlled House for two years may be the best thing that could happen to Bush. Backed into a corner he might start showing some real stones for a change.

Like getting impeached and having the funds cut to Iraq like Vietnam?

I couldn't agree more! We need to fire the current lot, deal with two years of Democrats, and then replace them with conservatives.
