It seems that the squeaker win of the Democrat(ic) Party in the Senate has made it more, not less, likely that both parties will fight to the death next year to pursue their clashing agendas.

On withdrawl from Iraq, which some are calling “redeployment”, if the US pulls out the troops immediately, expect civil war, a complete breakdown of law and order and the resurgance of terror around the world. Whoops! That’s already happened.

Domestically, the “San Francisco Agenda” might push such terrifyingly liberal legislation as a higher minimum wage and cheaper prescription drugs. Stem cell research and a new fight against global warming may also radically endanger our pro-life religious values.

Bush acted flippant and boyish at his press conference yesterday morning. He admitted “misleading” America about his plans to keep Rumsfeld to the end of term. He “joked” about finding future House Leader Nancy Pelosi a Republican decorator. Because ya know she’s a lady and that’s what ladies do, decorate and talk about hair styles and stuff. Ever the insecure and inarticulate bully, Bush cannot make anyone laugh, so he has to belittle both opponents and friends.

The fact that Democrats won Senate seats in such bastions of red as Virginia and Montana shows how badly Bush has screwed up, not how clearly the Democrat(ic) Party has conveyed their plans for the future. The Repubelican Party will no doubt find some new make believe enemy to rally up their constituents and the hapless Democrats will once again lose real power to imaginary evils.
