First of all, they’ll never find out about her because that would take independent research–not a liberal strong suit. After all, what good is dogmatism if you still have to do the work? Second, liberals don’t care about anything that doesn’t help them feel superior to Republicans.

I agree that the tide is with Republicans if they play their cards right. I spent quite a bit recently arguing this point on “Donkey Rising” website. Of course they base such emerging Democratic majority on faulty demographic assumptions and stereotypes about a shrinking white voting population and continued loyalty by minorities to Democrats. I can tell you that I am proof that such assumptions are faulty, I’m sure the Party of Lincoln can attest to that fact after watching Women and Blacks (once a staple of theirs) turn Democratic,the Democrats have witnessed the South turn Republican. The short of it is that assumptions just can’t be made, cultural issues will cause further challenge to Democrats.

I doubt that he is that reformed.

Tested, yes—but not severely so. The worst should be over. And it turns out that Joe Trippi apparently agrees with me. The Democrats are royally screwed:

ìFrom Joe Trippi: Expect a big wave of Democratic retirements from Congress in the next couple of years, as veterans who’ve been holding on in hopes of regaining majority power give up. Many of these Democrats have been using their personal popularity (and powers of incumbency) to win in Republican areas. When they leave, their seats will flip. The GOPs could attain 60 votes in the Senate and maybe 30 more seats in the House. Thank you, Rep. Matsui!î

This is why President Bush should have an easy time of it. The Democratic Party is in deep doo-doo. So much so, that Iím convinced, that for all practical purposes, it has been destroyed.

Every Tuesday Dean’s World hosts a round-up of the work of Iraqi bloggers called Carnival of the Liberated. A Star from Mosul and Iraq Today are featured there frequently.

From Fallujah ó “The soldiers shared laughs during the more surreal moments, such as when a psychological-operations truck rolled through the city blaring the theme song to the movie “Team America: World Police.”

Well, yesterday, Roger, on the 5:00 NBC4 local news, the entire segment on Falluja was basically “American Action Causes Human Rights Catastrophe in Fallujah.” They showed testimony from “witnesses” inside who turned out to be exactly the same people that Al Jazeera quoted online. They even used the same quotes.

Today on a talk show we had Jane Harman spinning the Falluja campaign as a big negative, attacking Porter Goss….and on.

Has Phase Two of the War Against Bush begun?

If Specter does cause trouble, what is the remedy?

Well let’s first see if Arlen is made Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, but even if not he and others can cause trouble for this President. Make no mistake this is a mine field for this President and will test to the hilt his political skills. I think that is why it is important to pre-empt in positive ways such possible troublemakers. There is no easy remedy, again this Presidents political skills will be tested.

For appropriate values of “our” and “nice”, I suppose.
