IT IS TIME for Democrats to stop moaning about John Roberts and John Bolton and start doing something productive -- such as figuring out how to win elections.
Even though Democrats continue to resist the outcome, George W. Bush won the 2004 presidential contest. His reelection triggered a time-honored cliche: To the victor, go the spoils. Bush selected a Supreme Court nominee and an ambassador to the United Nations who reflect his philosophy. Any Democratic president would do the same.
......Democrats continue to fight the last campaign, while Republicans are planning for the next two. While the Democrats are busy bashing Bush -- a second-term president who is not running for anything -- the Republicans are working on their strategy for victory in 2006 and 2008. Ken Mehlman, the Republican National Committee chairman, continues the GOP outreach to Latino and African-American voters. Dividing up the Democratic base and conquering even a small piece of it helps Republicans in future elections and hurts Democrats.
......Sniping about Bush's vacations and workout schedule is not a long-range strategy for Democratic success. Winning on election day is what it takes to derail nominees like Bolton and Roberts.

She's pretty much right. But the democrats don't take criticism very well...
I, too, have been amazed at their constant carping about Bush.
What's the point, he's not going to run again?
Glad they haven't figured that out yet, LOL.
So anyway, whatever happened to that so-called "alternative to Rush Limbaugh" that was supposed to be such a big hit? I'm talking of course, about that pencil-neck geek called Al Franken. I still have yet to hear the show although supposedly it has found some sort of "niche" on the radio dial somewhere. Probably it's on that station that features "Prarie House Companion" which I actually heard once or twice. Now Prarie House Companion has to be the most awful show I have ever heard in my life. Is that supposed to be humorous or is it just some bad parody that didn't make it to Saturday Night Live?
Don't go a-changin' on us, please!
I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't wake up every day and read about how y'all are imploding.
After 8 years of reprehensible "Clintonism", it's a breath of fresh air to listen to your pathetic mewlings as you take defeat after defeat and scratch your head wondering "Now why don't they like us?!?".
It far more than than the defeat of your candidates that brings a smile to my face, it's the complete and total scorched-earth destruction of the foundations of the rat party itself. The collapse of unions, the fleeing of common sense minorities to political positions that will serve them and not enslave them to the Democrats, the comicly entertaining self-destruction of the old liberal media institutions and their prima-donnas of propaganda as well and the ongoing fallout in Hollywood as Americans who are sickened by the filth liberal actors spews simply ignore them.
FReepers continue to frolic in the garden of Democrat Despair...
Unless the country suddenly has a massive collective amnesia of the last forty years, I really can't see how Democrats can convince voters, at this point and time, to hand over the country.
Its hard to deceive the people when the horrific consequences of leftist rule is staring us in the face.
Great post -- well said!
Yeah, that's the ticket.
No, I think they should keep telling voters what's wrong with them, really pound it in! Voters love that -- who wouldn't? ;-)
Shhhhh....sensible ideas would help.
Dumocrats are the absolute keepers of all truth, if you don't think so, just ask one. Let them hang on their arrogance until they choke.
Maybe Canada will take them in, if we offer to pay.
It's just too delicious.
Most children don't.
Remember, they're smarter than us.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!
Hillary - their savior: Hillary Clinton and the "Third Way" ***....If others could understand your truth, you would not think of yourself as a "vanguard." You would no longer inhabit the morally charmed world of an elite, whose members alone can see the light and whose mission is to lead the unenlightened towards it. If everybody could see the promised horizon and knew the path to reach it, the future would already have happened and there would be no need for the vanguard of the saints. ...***
She's speaking real slow, it's a remedial class for LIBERALS.
Hillary's going to tell them to keep those goals under their hat.
