Deja Vu


It seems Democrats can not learn moderation. When Bill Clinton swept into power over George H.W. Bush's "read my lips" with his Democrat supporters, and they promptly foundered with over-reach which lead to Newt Gingrich fighting a successful campaign to wrest control of Congress. And in 2006 when the Democrats finally regained the majority in Congress, they repeated the sins of 1992 and ended up going into the record books as one of the lease effective Congresses ever. Instead of being chastised by their hubris, the Democrats are trying to shove $900billion to $1trillion in political favors down the American taxpayer's throat while calling it a stimulus package. If the Democrats were a doctor seeking to treat me, with this kind of track record, I would ask to have Dr. Kervorkian give the diagnosis.

Anna,

I just heard my U.S. Senator speaking and she said: "There is a lot in this bill I do not agree with but we simply cannot wait to act" - and she's a Dem. The fact of the matter is that Obama has successfully marketed the Chicken Little approach to the economy and many Americans have bought it.

Also, I saw one of the Democrat economic advisors on a Sunday morning news program and when she described the latest unemployment figures, her eyes literally twinkled with delight - she was HAPPY to see those numbers...it solidified the call to rash action.

All they have to sell is fear and it seems to be working. Sic transit the American Republic.
