Yeah, they're doing better. But it's just pathetic that the Democrats can't harness public opinion to put a stop to it.

2. Unless it's on the news most people
don't see it.

As for the Dems using rule #21:

"Dems 'stunt' riles Repugs"
"Secret meeting causes uproar"
"Frist angry at Dem 'stunt'"

That's what they heard. How many people really know what it was about? 30-35%?

They are the minority you know, every time they do this they get slapped around.

3. When they really want to push something through, there's not much we can
do about it but hold them accountable in '06. If they are willing to lose, we can't stop them.

4. When Bush was at 55% that may have been true. Now he is laying...
in the mud and still getting his way. Poor media management.

5. As I said, if the Republicans want to defy public opinion, we can't do
very much about it until the elections.
