That is exactly what I'm talking about. Democrats have four years to figure out Stuart Smalley just doesn't work. In the meantime (while Democrats are figuring that out), will the Republicans actually do anything with respect to libertarian, consitutional government? I doubt it. The Republicans have precicely four years to prove that Newt Gingrich Congress was an aberattion, and that the current Congress (with a Republican White House) is good for the republic of the United States of America. Mark my words well, if the Republicans can not, or are unwilling, or unable to rise to the task, Stuart Smalley WILL be there to greet them in 4 years. Frankly, I don't care what the Republicans do, the pendulum will swing back the other way in 2008. What the Republicans can do over the next four years is hinder how fast and hard the pendulum swings in the mean time...

Sorry...but the fact is,you have even less of a clue than the dim Dems do.

By '08 the ems will have found another Truman/Stuart Smalley will be there to greet the GOPers? When Edwards has already started running for president and the N.Y.Times has already anointed Hilary?

Yes,there is always a cycle of back and forth between the parties;however,those pendulum swings are unpredictable in terms of time and THE DEMS WILL HAVE NO VIABLE PENDULUM SWINGER CANDIDATE IN '08 !
