Concur..we're on the same wavelength..My point was that Congressional Dems were comfortable "dealing" with Reagan and Bush 1..their ricebowl was still intact...The venom against the current President Bush is driven by the far left/wacko groups, and the Congressional dems are trying to ride that wave , or get buried by it..remember, Reid, Clinton, Byrd, et al speaking at the MoveOn presser some months back..the "problem" for the Dems is that the leadership does NOT control the party..
I'm actually convinced Democrats do not know that they can do to regain power. The only thing they seem to have is complaining and trying to instill hatred for Republicans. Rush is right on this one, Democrats are afraid to tell voters what they actually stand for because they know it will be rejected. So, they are trying to spin what they can, hoping something will stick.
