A pretty comprehensive cut and paste listing, mostly detailing the accomplishments and goals of President Bush. But just like gop.org, most of it is a rehash of the 2004 party platform (which is still what you'll get when you click on 'party platform' in the information section.) It is, as I said, treading water.

For all their insanity, at least the Democrats are articulating at least one goal for the next two years (an insanely stupid one, but still a goal.) The lack of a voice to set goals prevents failure, of course, and is likely why there is no new platform, or stated goals, for the next two years.

I've got a flood of campaign materials - my mailbox keeps getting stuffed with the junk, and they, just like your pasting above, details what has been accomplished, not what will be accomplished. Well, with the rare exception of Tom McClintock's Lt. Governor flier - but almost all of his 'visionary statements' are out of reach from a position that has nearly zero power.

I don't think I'm asking for much 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.
