It's a tiny, insignificant issue, but when was the last time the msm focused incessantly on imposing a national 55 mph speed limit to save lives and oil? Sure a few columnists here and there...but you sure aren't hearing your neighbors clamoring for it.
Anyway, no biggie, but I am really really optimistic that if we can hang on for another five years or so...we may see some fairly significant shifts. Don't forget that one of GWBs stated goals is to create a long term majority party. I believe him.
So call me idealistic or naive, but I'm aiming for hopeful.
Well, I have been taking the long view for 40 years - guess I can try a bit longer! :^) Seriously though, the significant problems have only be getting worse. Hope springs eternal...
