``She indicated to me that things are not going right in the Legislature. We need to make some changes,'' he said. ``She thinks Arnold can make those and she wants to help him. I take her at her word.''

In the movie "Animal House", the frat boys destroy the car of Flounder's brother. As Flounder stares at the wrecked auto, Belushi puts his arm around Flounder and says "You f***ed up Flounder, you trusted us."

Why the leaders of the party continue with this attitude is beyond me. Don't they understand that the changes she wants to make is to eliminate republican obstructionism to the Democrat's socialist agenda? Do the party leaders really believe that a "socialism slow is better then socialism fast" platform is good long term strategy? Better yet, are they so naive as to think that the base won't desert the party in droves over this type of muddle through policy?

And calcowgirl, before we rejoin the Party, we figure we're on the outside looking in anyways, so what's the difference? We can still foment and torment from out here just as good as if we were card carrying ignored members, right? Right!!! (rhetorical questions once again)(grin)
