Democrats better hedge bets

I suspect they will dodge a bullet this election and then return to business as normal as if they learned nothing from a near-death experience. Exhibit 1 will be Mike DeWine.

I don't know why the gop ran a mudslinging campaign when the economy is good, the governance has been pretty good except for maybe 100 billion in excess spending which is a rounding error in 2.5 trillion.

The gop has no intention of learning anything. They will simply continue to do what is best for the USA and that will mean a south border wall and some type of guest worker program without citizenship, tax cuts, good judges, and the best avaiable policy in Iraq (there may not be a good option here).

"Treading water" means that you've made no new accomplishments. I mention this because you clearly don't know what the phrase represents.

Passing tax cuts into law, killing Kyoto and the CCCP-U.S. ABM treaty, jailing Saddam Hussein, banning partial birth abortion, and deploying missile defenses (land, air, and sea-based) is not, by any stretch of the educated mind, somehow "treading water."

So yes, you are asking for too much. You are asking for things that can not be, or in denial of what has already been.

Ahh, man, I'm completely convinced now. Clearly these are all things that they're going to accomplish in the next two years and they're not treading water at all.

And yet, the GOP hasn't been "treading water."

Tax cuts. Saddam Hussein jailed. Taliban overthrown. Missile Defenses deployed. Kyoto dead. ICC dead. U.S.-CCCP ABM treaty dead. CAFTA passed. Partial Birth Abortion banned. Conservative judges stacking the federal bench appointments, etc.

You need a better schtick if you want to trick a few loyal conservatives into flipping over to whatever fringe Party you are promoting today...because misusing phrases such as "treading water" will hardly win you any friends or converts.

Yes, great master, I can see why everyone would absolutely never think of leaving the party. I'm posting on a flippin' forum, expressing my opinion. I'm not here to win friends. And I'm certainly not trolling for any fringe party. And yes, it is treading water - it is resting on the accomplishments of the past without offering a clear plan for the future.

Now you may return to your normal course of being a jerk to anyone who does not fawn in awe at your copying and pasting.

No. You don't understand the correct use of the phrase. It's **not** "treading water" to have accomplishment after accomplishment, achievement after achievement, month after month.

I even posted a non-stop list of factual accomplishments to you in this very thread, above...yet none of this is sinking into your skull.

Whatever. You need a more accurate, more descriptive phrase to explain whatever your complaint of the moment might be if you want anyone to think that you are something more serious than a mere moody crank.

If the overall economic health was so strong, the Fed would be reducing interest rates to combat inflationary pressure.

Actually the fed raises interest rates to combat inflationary pressures. I have never seen anyone find something bad about everything the way you have. You complain government is too big, then complain government hasn't done enough to lower the price of prescription drugs. You want the congress to break up the 9th circuit court... just how do you think they should do that?

Sounds like democrats whining that Bush didn't prevent Katrina.
