So W gets a 'legislative win'. Big deal!

Whether a given political tradeoff is worth it is always debatable. But do you really deny that triangulation works? When one party takes away the issues of the other it makes it hard to whip up an electoral frenzy for the other side.

I thought my key phrase was the coming wave of Republican dominance.If that is really a possibility, I don't want W/Rove to jeopardize its coming to fruition.

Coming wave of Republican dominance? So what. If the republicans become the promoters of a lesser socialism than the Democrats, it's still socialism. I guess I'm just more Conservative than Republican, more loyal to an idea than a political party. If the Repubs abandon conservatism, I don't need them.

The ONLY reason to vote for them, IMO, is to keep the full on fascists out of power. But when THE right candidate comes along, as Luis keeps challenging us with, I'm outta here. The frustrating thing is that W is really the only choice right now, liberal tendencies and all. Ick.
