Ergo, no matter how big the Medicare Plan is, no matter how bloated the Education Bill, no matter how much President Bush gives the NEA or the UN, the Democrats will never say it is enough. That strategy is not working to bring the Mods into the President's camp, and it is having a negative effect upon the President's base.
Here is a news flash, the "base" cannot win an election on its own. Especially a "base" that has deserted every republican presidential candidate since 1992. The GOP has to go where the votes are instead of the unappeasable "base". That is a strategy that's been proven not to work.
