"Energy Leninism - Is the Democratic Party's energy policy overreach setting up another 1994?"
Yes. Their global warming puritanism will be their undoing.

Yes!
Possibly, but I have no confidence that anything will truly change. All that will happen is we will slow down the growth of government on the environmental/tax side. But are things really going to change?
The GOP won’t get rid of Homeland Security or the Dept. of Education or pull the plug on a myriad of disasterous programs. They won’t stop the march of the DOMESTIC terror grid or even the death of the internet.
It is certainly better than Obama, but only marginally compared to what should be done.

With that nutjob Franken now in, we have no “hope” for “change”...........
Agreed but it is what it is and you go to war with the army you have. No?
If the RNC can’t fix the primary process we are doomed. It couldn’t be more harmful to the GOP if the DNC wrote the rules.
Word.
>Agreed but it is what it is and you go to war with the army you have. No?
It is what it is, and they won’t do snot, let alone go to war.
Be very afraid - reality is staring at us with an evil glint in it’s eye.
Yeah... I really hate the whole idea of open primaries. The idea is to try to increase membership but why? If someone wants to vote in a primary they should join the party in advance - not on the day of the primary and then withdraw on the same day. Is that a party rule or a state rule?
Maybe I'm still fooling myself but I stsill have some faith in Americans. I've been listening to quite a few gripes from Democrats about Obama "taking over everything". With continued economic stagflation, high unemployment, $6 a gallon gasoline and few more international crises due to an incoherent foreign policy... maybe that damn sleeping giant will finally wake up again.
Maybe...

(setting up another 1994?)
Not this time, our Republic has been overthrown, it was just so quiet it didn’t even stop the ‘sheep’ from grazing.
Don’t hang your hopes on 2010 elections, by then, a perilous national security emergency will have been declared and the elections will be ‘suspended’.
Oh, don’t worry, it will be just temporary. /s
I don't think so, but I think the overreach on health care will. Hillarycare's threat to the health care system was, IMHO, the reason for the 1994 blowback. It's very personal to the voters, in a way abstract economics is not.
Things were very glum when I graduated from college... then we had morning in America.
You and others of your ilk are way too pessimistic. He's also badly overreaching on immigration too. IMHO, the rats will destroy themselves in 2010.
1994 WAS 1994 because the Clintons evinced the intention to regulate every aspect of our private lives and our property from Washington. THe vasy coalition that threw out the Democrats could never have arisen around any issue other than the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our Posterity.
No. Not yet. Not enough pain for enough people — YET.
Besides, the asumption here is that we won’t have some kind of “emergency” or “crisis” that will indefinitely “delay” the 2010 election. I make NO such assumptions with this bunch.
In 1994 Billious Clintonus did not have ACORN in charge of elections.
