That was because they had taken every lever of power. We received, for the short term, a one-party government.

Like it or hate it, that's the way things are. It's the Republicans' game to win or lose. (Which doesn't stop them from trying to shift all blame -- did anybody catch DeLay blaming Clinton for the oil crisis on ABC -- six years after the fact? Priceless.)

What I was asking was whether anybody saw a coherent strategy for W. to dig himself out of the hole. Sounds like a few people see some glimmers on the horizon.
You make a good point Lemur but they still have enough power to try and do something good but they would rather throw stones at George W. and other easy targets rather than try and pass some legislation that would help the country. Can you guess how many people would vote for someone that would fix even a little piece of social security? Or any other topics that really bug average Joe American. I think the fact is that they are not powerless but that is the card they choose to play because it is easier.

I would really like to see a funny glasses and fake goatees bill.
