We have long accepted the premise that we must appeal to liberals to get elected. But when we get elected we pass liberal legislation. Then the Dems retake the office and move legislation that is 90 to 95% leftist. Heck, both sides are burying us.
We do it strategicly and they do it because they love the agenda. Either way it sees us burried further and further in the socialist quagmire, further and further from the ideal.
If Bush passes the Kennedy healthcare plan and the medication addendum to Medicare, I don't see how either will be rescinded any more than Social Security or Medicare will be. That's a far worse situation than we were in when Bush took office.
