We were lousy at being a majority party, for sure. Completely forgot what we stood for, if anything. I hope being the minority will bring out some leadership from somewhere...I don't see much of it except for Giuliani, who's not in office, and not conservative in some ways, and our own weirdo, McCain, also not a pure conservative.
My gut feeling is that Bush's failure to win decisively against the "insurgents" in Iraq, combined with the MSM's portrayal of things as being worse than the reality are the main causes of this little debacle. But our guys' failure to stand firmly on "conservative" issues didn't help much either. Bush doesn't make his case often enough either.
I'd like to hear from our guys in Iraq on this; hope they are more ticked than depressed. It's got to be a morale buster, though, since I understand most of them think they're getting it done.
I'm beginning to calm down a bit. Rather that get all stressed out about what I fear may happen, I think I will sit back and watch and see what ~does~ happen.
Who knows... it may be more mere entertainment than anything else. At least it won't be boring.
