Yes, it is pessimism.

People here seem to think the Democrats have this 200 vote majority in the House. They don't. They're not going to be able to run hard left on every issue because they know it would put too many of the seats at risk in 2008.

I bet Ronald Reagan wasn't moaning in 1986 when the Republicans took a beating in the mid-term elections.

IMHO they are going to run very hard left, they are going to do all the things their base wants them to do like impeach President Bush because they tend to listen to their base, they give the mob what it wants so they get to retain power. As the Dems and their mob goes, so goes the media, possibly the strongest part of that triad and the one that is not accountable to anyone.

Pessimism, no it is realism.

The Dems are going to burn down everything that has been build in the last six years if it kills them too.

They're not going to be able to run hard left on every issue because they know it would put too many of the seats at risk in 2008.

Watch 'em and then be befuddled as the media hypes up their legislation. You just don't get it. To them, it is not about keeping the power, it is about enacting their socialism when they get the power. Then we spend time trying to get rid of their crap when we regain power. And we are only able to fix a fraction. Look at all of the New Deal crap we are still dealing with. Did the Republican Congress back our President when he tried to reform SS? No. What about tax reform. Anything come of that recently?

And just FYI for anyone paying attention, this isn't 1986 or 1994. This is the first time the Dems have had power post-Iraq war. Reagan had Mutually Assured Destruction. Clinton hid and ran. Now the islamists have seen us flinch. What happened the last time we flinched?
