Does anyone else think that if the party leadership gives these whackos a little more rope for the next year or so, and the Republicans get their heads out of their asses, that the moderate Dems elected in the last election might find themselves out on the street, and the Dems suffer a backlash from the Independent and moderate voters in 2008?
I realize that the Republicans are at a disadvantage in defending Senate seats (again).
The anti-war wing is already causing certain Democratic candidates significant problems and negative exposure. They may rip one another (or their party) to shreds before 2008.
It just occurs to me that it is better to be strong in the presidential election years rather than in the mid-terms, and if you screw up, better do do it after the presidential elections rather than just before.
Thoughts, or am I just thinking wishfully?

Perhaps not, after all, the dems promised to accomplish 6 things in the first one hundred hours, and they've found out the hard way that getting things through the house is fairly easy, but getting through the senate and to the POTUS desk are certainly another. To date they a score of "ZERO" for their first one hundred hours. These include the minimum wage increase, changes in Medicare and Medicaid, immigration, etc.
Moving America Forward.Com has established a strong following of moderate Americans that support the war, or at least the troops, and that are conciously aware of the dems antics in the house and senate. One of the mistakes liberals have alway's made is assuming that the majority of Americans are merely grass eaters with out any political grasp as to their antics. Case in point is this weeks headlines for the firing of 8 Judicial judges and the out cry for Gonzalez to be released from duty. They forget that we remember the Clintons fired most of their judicial judges also for political reasons, but left Michael Chertof to serve in this administration. Where was the outcry for an investigation then ?
I believe your correct that the tide will turn in two years, as I already believe that the public and the politicians have already grown somewhat cold to the new democratic leadership. Former President Clinton is due here today in Cincinnati and surprisingly he is not being met with much fan fare or appreciation. One year ago he had the city turning cart wheels for him, today he is struggling to fill the room to raise money for his wife. There was actually talk this morning on the local radio that he may cancil his appearance due to weak seat sales for the benefit.
I hope your right.
