Looking to '08 it won't matter if we in the interim get zilch done except gridlock

[madokie]

at least it will stop the bush* wreck from any more damage and the Democratic candidates can point to look what all we have tried to do just to be stopped by the re:puke:s at ever turn and on and on. I know the re:puke:s will point to the bush* tragedy and use the argument that we don't want one party rule anymore but it will only fall on deaf ears. The Dem's will have to really screw up to lose the next election by large numbers. imo

1. I agree, with one exception...

If gridlock is caused, in part, by Bush vetoes, then by all means, we need to push that as a problem. Bush made the case, convincingly, in 2002 that in order for him to make the changes he felt were necessary, he'd need Congress to be Republican. If Bush hands us vetoes, we should hand the American people the exact same message.

Americans voted for change in 2006. We will not be denied.

2. another thought. 2000 moderates made conscious decision vote

repug. 2002 was an automatic following and wave in the direction solidifying their 2000 decision to switch. 2004 was more a weak justifiction of 2000 vote even in the face of error.

2006 people took the stand to correct past vote

this will sit with people to 2008 and we will have a wave of automatic vote because of decisions to take stand and jump to other side. just like the repugs had after 2000

3. we need to fix the HAVA mess before 2008
