I really, really really hope they've learned THAT from the '06 experience.
They will learn nothing. The "teach the GOP" a lesson group just made them think that they want liberalism. Besides, it does not matter what the president or the GOP wants - it is now controlled by the Dems that our purists allowed to win.
Don't go blaming Bush and the GOP - this is the result of dems taking over. Bush has lost 50% of his power.
