I don't know which is worse really: the grandstanding, self-satisfied Dems here in PA, or the Republicans' chicken little routine now that Pelosi's the Speaker. Toss up!
CNN showed an exit poll stating that 50% of Americans support troop withdrawal in some form or another, and Howard Dean very confidently stated that no such thing would happen if the Dems took Congress. Sweet!
************************************************************************************
Dean is not a king. Some troops will come out. There's bi-partisan support
for that. Expect re-deployment of occupation forces to military bases and
the oil fields, after all, that's why "we're" there in the first place. That'll get
bi-partisan support as well. What Dean is saying is, "We ain't leaving that oil patch
or those Saudi replacement bases anytime soon."
The good thing is that it's not entirely Shrub's game to call anymore. To be sure, he still has
some negative legislative power via the veto and he still has his "bully pulpit". But, I think people
are really tired of his Yalie frat-boy smirk and good-ole-boy" act. Now that the Democrats
have gotten more than just the power to whinge, they can be charged with responsibilty for governing.
I think the results of this election will allow the real left the political space to be able to more effectively make points about how the interests of our rulers and the rest of us
aren't the same and perhaps some more workers will listen. After all, material
circumstances will continue to come under the impact of global warming and a host of
other associated screw ups which continually demonstrate the utter incompetence of our
beloved rulers.
