The Democrats are adept at pulling defeat from the jaws of victory, so it could certainly happen again.
But if all the Repubs offer to make permanent is
1. More, and intensified, War in Iraq, and
2. tax cuts for the rich
They will get skunked in November, I am pretty sure.

Yes, and those millions of Democrats masquerading as Republican voters, man was that a trick or what? Get real, you just got marginalized in your own party by your own party.
Speaking of 'marginalized' , would that be what that dick wipe, Howard Dean, has done to your partee'? We'll know in November what's really going to happen, but I don't see any difference between the socialists running on your side and the one (McCain) on the conservative side. McCain is a big ass suck up. He hopes to gain power by compromising the principles of conservatism just as you dems hope to gain power by making GB's fuck ups your agenda. It would be refreshing to see the Democrats become a party of ideas, for a change, instead of running on contrarian doctrines and 'raise taxes on the rich' platform. You damn well know that swing voters hurt the Republicans more than Democrats since the Democrats have a larger 'die hard' following. So, it's no use in you pretending that real conservatives are going to vote for McCain without gritting their teeth or vote for a Obillary ticket.
Don't forget it was the Democrats who committed the unthinkable fuck up of 'marginalizing' Florida democrats in their delegate fiasco. Will you count them or not? We may not know until August of this year but your party didn't do itself any favors by shitting on Florida.

Yes, the whole delegate thing is causing riots in Miami, in fact I just saw on tv the crowds chanting "who gives a fuck".
People are just tired of your brand of politics, man. Hyper-partisanship on the right has resulted in nothing getting done. The only thing you guys are good at is sloganeering and propaganda, and now even that isn't even working for you anymore as shown by your top propagandists Rush and Coulter getting bitch slapped by your own voters. Good riddance.

Oh, things are getting "done" all right.
The military and security contractors in Iraq, and the Oil companies, are doing just fine, thank you.
Not to mention the body count of dead Americans and Iraqis is rising, and the billions upon billions of dollars being cast into the that Iraqi cesspool every month.
Things are getting done, all right. Just wrong things.

Then, don't be a bitchin' if Florida turns out to be the deciding state between Obillary and McCain the ass pain. Of course, it should make no difference to you anyway since one good liberal is as good as another.
Are you jealous that the Democrats cannot break the talk radio market with enough listeners to pay the bills? As I recall, Glenn Beck and Rushbo don't have trouble meeting their obligations and they're certainly successful in pissing off every liberal from coast to coast. It's got to sting, just a little, eh? Al Franken and Air America turned into a giant fart of wind. Put somebody believable on the air and you may just sell enough ad time to rival the sale of Coulter's first 100,000 books.

My point has been all along that the Democrats need to be a party of ideas, not a party of 'bring the soldiers home' or 'tax the rich'. That shit has gotten old. Candidates on both sides recognize that Bushie's war is a mess to be rectified and they all know they will be expected to do something when they take office. It's no coincidence that Repub candidates will want Bush to keep his ass in Washington, far away from the campaign trail and Democratic candidates do not want to portray an image of hanging the military out to dry, either.
You have to remember. 4 years of Carter brought on 8 years of Reagan and 4 years of Bush Sr. Bush Sr. brought on 8 years of Clinton and 8 Years of Clinton brought on 8 years of Bush Jr. Keeping that in mind, as inept as Bush Jr. has been in his last 4 years, one has to wonder what is really going to happen when voters are faced with a choice between Hillary or Obama against John McCain. That can go either way, being they're all liberals.
They aren't liberals by any reasonable definition, they are centrists. As far as I can tell, the Bushite's loathing of McCain can be summarized by a line I heard uttered by McCain, himself. He said "I have never put my political party before my country". IOW, he is a man of principle and honor, and those qualities are simply not tolerated by the current GOP base.
just as you dems hope to gain power by making GB's fuck ups your agenda. It would be refreshing to see the Democrats become a party of ideas, for a change, instead of running on contrarian doctrines and 'raise taxes on the rich' platform.

I certainly agree with the Florida issue but the problem was the Florida Dem Party broke the rules and changed the primary.
As for the Dems becoming a party of ideas instead of running on contrarian doctrines. They are only contrarian to the fundie right. To many folk they are very mainstream, socially responsible doctrines. We will see in November if that is a Majority opinion.
The Democrats ARE a party of ideas, just not the ones you are used to with Bush and the NeoCon majority that ran things for years. Of course the ideas you are used to include 1/7 Americans without health insurance. Ideas like America being 41st in the world in Infant Mortality Rate. Ideas like 38 Million Americans [13 Million of them CHILDREN] living below the Poverty Rate.
Some of us prefer different ideas.
And as for "raise taxes on the rich" concept you like to point out. Reagan/Bush/Bushie raised taxes on EVERYONE by overspending the budgets and providing over 80% of the total National Debt in the history of the Republic. The INTEREST on that debt is 25% of the ENTIRE FEDERAL BUDGET. That is a tax! So when you talk about the Democrats raising taxes, remember that 25% of those taxes are to pay INTEREST on Reagan/Bush/Bushie Deficits.

As I recall, Glenn Beck and Rushbo don't have trouble meeting their obligations and they're certainly successful in pissing off every liberal from coast to coast.

Again, Liberals don't listen to talk radio, no matter who is on. Liberals don't need the self affirmation of someone "telling" them what to think or what the real scoop is. Liberals, from nearly every broadcast and media survey ever done just don't do talk radio.
And sorry to burst your bubble but Rush and Beck don't piss off every liberal from coast to coast as we are not part of the listening audience to hear what is said, other than when the media covers it. Only reason I know what they say is I read the transcripts of much of their shows so I have a feel of that side of the debate. I can read a 3 hour transcript in about 15 minutes or less.
As for Book sales, have you actually read any of the O Really, Coulter, Rush books? Besides inability to write well and deep need for an editor, they are nothing more than long editorials and rehash of previous material. Sorta the TimeLife NeoCon Series.
