Left Wing Extremists are already disintegrating in the aftermath of the Congressional Elections of 2006. The primary reason Democrats won was the fact that 6th Year Elections typically go to the opposing party. As many put it after the electionS, "It's now time for Democrats to show whether they can lead." Can they? Of course not. They have already started their so-called "First 100 Hours" by completely shutting out Republicans on legislation. They have spread out the spoils of the election to every possible group in the Democratic Party and have shunned Republicans to the sidelines. Is this Nancy Pelosi's "new direction"? Does Pelosi think that President Bush is going to sign legislation by, for, and ONLY for...Democrats? Perhaps this is Pelosi's tactic to bring about a government shutdown in the near future? Democrats should remember that Republicans are still quite powerful in the Senate...and are only one vote from being in control themselves. Do Democrats think they will get anything done in this manner? They are making a terrible mistake and will pay for it in two years after accomplishing nothing.
Democrats are sabatoging themselves at every turn. Hillary Clinton is polling low in crucial states and is now attacking Obama, her primary threat. Obama never had much of a chance of winning an actual Presidential election because he is a novice to leadership, however he has been much more dignified than Hillary Clinton. All the while, Nancy Pelosi is making sure her party loses in 2008 by turning her back on her promises to work with the Republicans when it comes to legislation so as to "do what's best for the American people". What a crock. Democrats have got two years ahead of them and already they've shown themselves to be the liars they are.

I would expect nothing less of them. Hell, I'd expect nothing less of the GOP. It wasn't so long ago that Democrats kept insisting that we include them and run some of their crackpot ideas through. I thought that notion was absurd because we were in charge, not them. I'm sure Democrats feel the same way.
Besides, we want them to look and act like Democrats. If they don't we'll have a harder time unseating them.
WHen the republicans controlled the house, but Clinton was president, the republicans worked with the moderate democrats, and met with Clinton, to ensure that he would sign the bills they passed.

Pat Cadell called it on election night. He said the democrats would win in a lot of close races but disgust the American people that they will lose again in two years.
