I would expect not. They controlled Congress basically uninterrupted for 40 years and supposedly had a reasonable platform. Not conservative, but reasonable. Today's Democrat party is composed of washed-up hippies, communists, overboard environmentalists, and elitists. They have taken a hard turn to the left.
Of course, when liberals are disagreed with, they become petty, bitter, and angry. They lost in 2000, and showed their true colors. They lost even more in 2002, and now they're desperate. If they lose again in 2004, they'll go absolutely nuts since they think they're the only ones fit to govern and anyone in dissent is to be ridiculed, ignored, and dismissed--a very communist trait. They don't judge people on the content of their character, rather they seek to demonize and shred people who oppose them since facts are often a liberal's worst enemy and when you can't fight back with facts or legitimate criticisms, you attack.
The more the left is confronted, the more crazed they will get, and the more crazed they get, the less people will want to associate with them.
your posts remind me of something Rush hit upon years back and it's perpetually true - liberals get the most whacky when they're out of power. First it was the anti-war fever in the 60's and early 70's Nixon was president and the left went nuts. they mellowed during the era of Jimmy Carter. then Reagan came along and drove them totally bonkers. during Clinton they went haywire in the other direction and lost Congress and that sent them in the direction of the loony bin, only pausing from time to time, like after 9/11, when they held their breath during the major battles in Afghanistan, while reaching crazed psychotic hate pitch with the election of 2000 and, since, the furthered war on terror (to include Iraq).
Couldn't disagree with you one iota.
What a nice idea! Thanks,I'll have sweet dreams tonight...with that in mind. :)
