Dionne is sympathetic to the Dems, but he doesn't necessarily fault the Republicans for thinking politically. If, in fact, the majority party succeeds in convincing the Democrats that they are the minority, it will go a long way towards cementing the Republican majority for years.

Its ferocity arises from the Democrats' refusal to accept the role assigned them by their opponents.

No, it's the role assigned to them by the voters, and they really don't like it, so to heck with the voters.

If you wonder in the coming weeks why Democrats are so reluctant to give ground, remember Norquist's jocular reference to neutering the opposition party. Democrats are neither contented nor cheerful over the prospect of being "fixed."

This from one who's already been neutered!

The Conservative Tide began with the optimism of Regan, not with supposed attacks on Clinton.

Democrats will never accept minority status. The Democrat leadership and its followers are in fact the mirror-image of the British Socialist Party.

Their mission is to socialize America. One step backward, two steps forward.

Re-read the Communist Manifesto and see how far they have succeeded.

[PGalt]

The socialists should be forced to wear electronic tethers.

The problem is your talking about the wrong end.

We should be finding a rotten sock and plumbers tape and handcuffs to shut the Democrats up.

Take in consideration Dirty Harry Reid, Pelosi, Kennedy, The Hillbilly Clintons and the list goes on, I can just picture not having to listen to their rantings

awwwww so peaceful.....

Where is the party discipline you see in successful majority parties? Yes, we have given the PUBS the House, the Senate, the Presidency and yet they still don't seem to know how to train their yapping puppy Reid. I keep waiting for the vet Frist to settle this dog down but it seems that the owners can't decide when to do it, or if it needs to be done.

It's called "TNR, Trap, Neuter Release".

The theory is that when ferral animals (cats) create an annoyance they should be trapped and neutered and released back to their original habitat. The goal is for the animal to maintain the same dominance, to prevent reproducing members of the same species from invading the territory.

The dems have neutered themselves by becoming the party of opposition and obfuscation. They are a dying breed and kill little democrats before they are born. Now they are trying to import replacement democrats by encouraging illegal immigration. What a mess.
