		<description>Honestly, the best solution is a dem pres and a republican controlled congress....

In that way you get moderate judges appointed, and true checks and balances throughout government.

It worked through the Clinton years.</description>

		<description>All the posts criticizing Dems for a lack of agenda are undrstandable, way off base.  The most important rason to vote Dem is to ensure that Congress regains its status as a check on the executive branch.

No individual issue is more important.</description>

As Brain pointed out Democrats are socialists.  They think the government has to have taxes to pay for things.

But we have a new paradigm of economics.  For example suppose your house increases just 15% a year, it&#039;s a lot more in other places.  In just 5 years it will have doubled.  So if you have a $200,000 house and take out $20,000 a year in 5 years you will have made $100,000 in savings.

But wait there&#039;s more!

The house will increase 8 times in 20 years and 256 times in 40.  In 50 years it will have increased 1,000 times.  Which means you can take a million dollars a year out of your house and still have a 150 million to give to your kids.  But democrats want to rob you with the death tax.

This new paradim applies to all of our economic situation.  Like your house the American economy just keeps going up in value. Which is why people all over the world want to lend us money.  And the more money we borrow the more money we have to buy their stuff which gives them more money to lend us.  It&#039;s a win win situation.

So if we pursue this process and expand it rather than borrow a teensy eensy 500 billion a year to pay for government we could borrow 3 trillion or so which would let us have a negative tax for those making over $100,000 which would further stir the economy.

But Democrats with ungood thoughts are trying to do to this what they&#039;ve tried to with Iraq.  Just look at them, we proved there wasn&#039;t a civil war and the traitors report dead bodies all over the place, our ambassador accusing the Interior Ministry of killing more civilians than the insurgents and us fightingbthe militia which keeps so much of Baghdad and the south a success story.

Now why did they do this?  Because they hate America and even though Iraq is a great success they undermine it with double plus ungood thinking.  We even changed the definition of civil war from that used by political scientists to one we like and next thing you know they try to copy our definition.

They are trying to do the same thing with the economy which is why we know they practice socialism.  If housing falls or the dollar falls or we have a recession it&#039;s because they broke our new paradigm.
But if Republicans get elected we can have no taxes at all and twice as much spending and win in Iraq twice a day rather than only achieving total victory 3 or 4 times a year.

Double plus good thoughts are the way to go!!!!!</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s a bit too early to write off the Republican party. They have a few months to redevelop themselves.
Or at least come up with something that will pull the public back to their side. 
And, unfortunately, the Democratic Party has yet to lock onto any given point by which they can find a common aggreement.
Until that happens, any negativity is more along the line of people wandering away from the Republican leadership. It isn&#039;t a gravitating influence caused by the other side.
So, yea, there is still a good chance that the Republicans can pull the seats they need.</description>

		<description>Great post.  The American people aren&#039;t falling for the Republican rhetoric anymore.  This is the time for Democrats to regain control, if only they would move to do so.  They need to get an agenda quikly, in order to capitalize on the gift that the Repubs have given them.</description>

		<description>As someone who is at least moninally pro-Democrat -- or at least, someone who desperately hopes the Dems can break the conservative monopoly on power before the idiots take this country completely over a cliff -- I must say I find the comments left here by various members of the fantasy-based community to be tremendously encouraging.

It&#039;s a good sign when your enemy is this intent on self-delusion as this bunch.</description>

		<description>Out of curiosity, who did Time say would win the elections in 2004?

What did they say about the likely outcome of the elections of 2002?</description>

		<description>Wow, I thought Leonidas was talking about the Republicans in that second sentence. As far as proposals from the Democrats, why should they put anything on the table at this point? So the ideas can be co-opted by the Republicans if they gain some traction with the public? It&#039;s not like they have any power to actually put forth any legislation that would stand a chance of passing in this environment.</description>

		<description>The DumboRats will lose even more seats in November.  They have no plan for Iraq, no plan for Social Security, on plan for the immigration problem.  They&#039;re the party of &quot;no&quot;.  Throw a flag burning amendment and a Christmas Protection Act into the mix and you&#039;ve got an electorate that is ready to relegate the Dems to permanent minority status.  Game over, moonbats.</description>

		<description>Republican: this notion of using semantics to define away problems seems very compelling.  I have a feeling that it could be profitably applied to other domains beyond politics, for example, advice columns.

I have to say that when I read your stuff I feel like I&#039;m getting the straight dope - more so than I any time I can remember beside this &lt;a href=&quot;http://shoeblogs.com/horrors.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;guide&lt;/a&gt; to abominable footwear.</description>

I&#039;m with Brain.  The Democrats are socialist, anti American terrorist loving traitors who want to raise our taxes now instead of raising them on our kids through deficits.  

However it&#039;s time we stopped using such language because it implies that the Democrats actually have an agenda, but as Brian says all the do is obstruct.  Therefore through the use of semantics (such as redfining the commin definition of civil war to show there isn&#039;t one in Iraq) do define reailty I say we refer to them as &quot;ungood.&quot;

This way we define them as mere shadows, negatives of true humans, anti Republicans.  We can also have categories depending on their level of evil.  Thus Osama and Stalin are ungood, those who pretended to be our friends such as the French are &quot;plus ungood&quot; and those who have stabbed their mother country in the back such as Democrats are &quot;double plus ungood.&quot;  This way we can define our priorities.  And destroy the greatest evil first.

Bill Clinton is of course &quot;super whooper ungood.&quot;</description>

Thus Osama and Stalin are ungood, those who pretended to be our friends such as the French are &#8220;plus ungood&#8221; and those who have stabbed their mother country in the back such as Democrats are &#8220;double plus ungood.&#8221;  This way we can define our priorities.  And destroy the greatest evil first.</p>
<p>Bill Clinton is of course &#8220;super whooper ungood.&#8221;</p>

		<description>Brian, you ask that the Democrat party, &quot;have an agenda that does not include spending more money, raising my taxes, and taking away my right to self defense.&quot;  Besides the reduction of taxes, the overwhelming majority of which going to the top 2%, you just described the current GOP government.  Under GOP rule over the last five years you&#039;ve had the most rapid growth in government debt and spending in 40 years.  You&#039;ve had the largest growth in discretionary spending and pork barrel projects in history.  As far as your right to self defense, I&#039;m surprised you don&#039;t realize the complete degradation in your 4th Amendment rights under this government.  Sneak and peak, warrentless electronic and physical searches and no judicial branch balance in the process all occured under this, not a Democratic administration.  Now, with the new USAPATRIOT  Act signing, the president has reiterated his right to ignore the law when he sees fit.  I am worried about my rights too, but mostly my 1st and 4th Amendment not 2nd Amendment (which I agree have been illegally under assault by left wing politicians).  

I am one of those that want gridlock.  I believe the Democrats will start offering policies once they are allowed to have a voice in one of the branches of government again.  Considering how moderate Republicans rarely get a place at the table, much less members of the opposing party, I&#039;d keep my cards tight to the vest as well.  However I don&#039;t think the Democrats can out campaign the GOP.  They proved it in 2002 and 2004.  Nothing has fundamentally changed about their leadership that suggests they have gotten any better.  I hope and pray that they do, but I won&#039;t hold my breath.  2004 was the first year I voted for Democrats.  I will continue to do so until non-ideologues and religious right politicians lose control of the Republican party.</description>

		<description>Although it is &lt;b&gt;POSSIBLE&lt;/b&gt; the democrats could take the House, I would say it is a tough row to hoe. I also  predict they they will not take back the Senate. I really don&#039;t see the possibility for them to take enough seats in the Senate.

Frankly, I would be disappointed with the American people if they do vote for democrats. The party has done nothing for the American people. All they have done is obstruct, and normally Americans do not like obstructionists.

I would like the democrat party to come back to their roots, and actually have an agenda that does not include spending more money, raising my taxes, and taking away my right to self defense.

As a whole I wish they would become an American party again, instead of the socialist party they have become.</description>

		<description>Had enough, is a damn good way of putting it. The public is tiring of excuses for failure, Bush keeps giving. Speaking is how he handles problems, rather than actually tackling the problems with work, or simply admitting a problem is even taking place. The public got what they wanted, flash and dazzle with promises of no gay weddings, or promises of outlawing abortion. Problem is they realized they lost their jobs to communist China, the 4th amendment was eroded, and the government is broke. Got whatcha wanted yet america? Want some more? Can you afford some more is the new question.
