I agree that's troubling, but it would only get worse if the Democrats
controlled everything again. The only reason that government got smaller
under Clinton was that he wasn't able to get Hillay's outrageous health
care program through Congress. It was so outlandish that even the
Democrats wouldn't vote for it. After '94, the Republicans kept him in
check.

Even as the current Republican Congress blocked the current President
from just having his way regarding 9/11 Commission. I don't expect
there is any free sliding by to be had. Of course there will be a few
more R congressmen, and a few less D in the next congress, so yet to
be seen how that goes!

This is the rest of the story as PH says. The Ds can rant about
President Bush, but the real problem is they lost more ground in the
Senate and House. If they had made gains there, I suspect that we
would not be hearing so much about Bush. They have to digest this
double loss, and face the prospect of losing in the Supreme Court as
well. An unenviable position.

Indeed. But not just for the Democrat Party. That would give the Bush
administration full license to take the campaign of fear and hatred to new
levels and realize their dreams...like making being gay illegal...making
abortion the privelege of the rich...oh, what fun they could have!

Fortunately, they will go to far. Even people who have been sucked into a
perpetual vortex of fear - if pushed far enough - will eventually say "to
hell with it, I'm tired of being afraid" and that will be the end of it.
Looking at the Bush arrogance that started two seconds after yet another
thin victory, the Democrats should be able to run yet another dud next time
around and manage a win.
