I am amazed by Pelosi's and Reid's willingness to allow the Bush Administration to continue to commit crimes on the theory that it will just make the Democrats look better in '08. The two seem to be satisfied with their political calculus leading to the next elections, but I'm not so sure.
I am concerned that by their calculations, by their reluctance to take the actions that they got elected to do, their disregard for the dismantling of this nation will come back and bite them in the ass, as the people that gave them all those Congressional seats, the Naderites, the Greenpeacers, the Fringe Left, will throw up their arms and say, "We gave them their chance, and they can't even act according to the fucking MAJORITY of public sentiment. So we'll just take our 3-5% of the vote elsewhere. And you'll lose a lot of elections because of the loss of that margin."
