`A horror show for Republicans' (Chicago Tribune)
By Jill Zuckman
Washington Bureau
Published September 4, 2006


WASHINGTON -- Karl Rove had a grand vision as he crafted George W. Bush's first presidential campaign.

Republicans not only would capture the White House, they also would realign American politics, creating an enduring majority that would rival President Franklin Roosevelt's accomplishment for Democrats almost 70 years earlier.

Now, though, as the congressional election season kicks off in earnest this Labor Day weekend, nobody is talking about realignment. Rather, Republicans concede they are struggling simply to cling to power.

Numerous political analysts are forecasting that a tidal wave of voter dissatisfaction will wash Republicans out of office on Nov. 7 and possibly hand control of the House back to Democrats, who also are poised for gains in the Senate and to win back governorships.

1. The GOP has a NEGATIVE POLARITY...the results of their control
has been Negative...a LOSS, no Gain, No profits..except for those way up there...The majority of Americans have seen a devaluintg of their lot.

This negativity cannot be hidden...it is there for all to see feel and be heard. The cries of anguish and despair can be heard throughout the Land louder and more frequent as the results of GOP Governance bear their lemon Fruit.

Short term gain long term LOSS.
