for what it's worth, while i marvel at the disaster that has been the bush administration, i dont think they've pulled down the house--it has been problematic structurally for a long time, and ideologically dysfunctional since the reagan period--the politics of wholesale denial of structural issues in a context where structural issues are at the center of problems is not a good mix. the bush people have simply sped things up, by all appearances.
context matters. it is not enough to simply blame this administration, no matter the magnitude of the fiasco they've been.
