Sam, i feared several years ago that the repubs - with power in both houses and the presidency would get fat, complacent, and screw things up
and to some extent (to put it mildly). hey, i voted for bush twice. and almost always vote for repubs, with the rare exception
but there is that adage about power, absolute power, and corruption
bush, a republican spends like a second wife with a gold card. it is absurd. THAT p'o's me.
congress has wasted too much time on some really stupid issues, and not enough on some really important ones.
i am very happy with bush's two SCOTUS appointees though. that will leave a lasting legacy. i am happy that congress did not renew the ridiculous "asault weapon ban". what a joke that was.
but in general, THIS admin/congress combo has been less effective than they should have been.
i am not saying i WANT the dem's to win. but at THIS point, it is the dem's election to lose. unless the repubs get their act together fast.
i really really really hope the dem presidential candidate hires shrum. he likes to lose for dem presidential candidates
i also think the repubs should get over their mccain'itis. because McCain/Condi or McCain/Guiliani would make some kick*ss presidential tickets.
i think mccain sucks quite often (don't even get me started on mccain-feingold), but he is rock-solid in credibility, warcred, and integrity
