"but he is trying to grab the agenda."
Sometimes, even freepers cannot see clearly through the haze..
I agree with you, and it's what we SHOULD have been doing FOR YEARS...
Instead WE, (the base) let Milquetoast Republicans cowtow to even more incompetent Democrats...
Imagine the carnage if we'd gone up against a COMPETENT Democratic Party? The Wake up bell is ringing, is anybody listening?
We spent too much time last year trying to defend our majority, instead of defending our principles. Maybe we did that for several years.
Rove's plan to drive up the base rather than fight for principles and educate the independents only works if there are enough people on your side to get to the polls. It's a devisive way to run an election, and we finally got bit by it.
Over time, I hope we can get back to educating the electorate.
