And I think you're both so far off base, there is no point in further discussion.
Other than the fact that we are each choosing our path based on what we think is best for the country.

Yes we have. I think the Bush bullying technique will severely damage the Dems in the polls this week and I doubt they will recover. I think Bush played it beautifully.
The GOP who thought Bush was weak are going to be extremely happy, the Dems will see how Congress has no backbone to stand up to him and the independents will see that Congress thinks more of their vacation than the country.
Congress' approval numbers are already lower than Bush's, other than raising the minimum wage, which the people were voting in states to do, the Dems have done nothing but try to impeach Bush and his administration. That's all well and good if the economy were in better shape, if people had decent waged jobs and the infrastructure and educational system weren't crumbling.
The Dems are coming off with one track minds "let's get Bush" and not doing a damned thing to help the people.
But what do I know. To you I'm just a disenfranchised former Dem and kook, who will ride the wave when Dems return to glory.
I don't see the Dems returning to glory in this lifetime, unless they get a new leadership in there that actually has positive platforms and ideas to run on. Unfortunately the positive voices are being silenced and leaving the party in droves.
The Dems had every chance in the world to put out positive, truly helpful legislation and instead they have done nothing but go after Bush...... and then cave to Bush.
They are done.
