Dave Broder has finally gone off the deep end

[cleofus1]

I used to respect this guy...Everyone who reads this should e-mail him and let him know that he is absolutely wrong!

"Bush has gained the right to set the agenda, but he has not obliterated the opposition. Once they recover from their disappointment, Democrats will realize that winning 48 percent of the popular vote in a high-turnout election, as Kerry did, provides a sturdy base from which to climb back into power.

Bush won, but he will have to work within the system for whatever he gets. Checks and balances are still there. The nation does not face "another dark age," unless you consider politics, with all its trade-offs and bargaining, a black art."

you have to read the whole article to get the gist of his thesis...
essentially he's saying that Democrats are just overreacting to Bush and we should just calm down and face the fact that Bush isn't the demon we've portrayed him as...

1. Broder is trying to convince himself

that the system still works...but he's not convincing me.

Don't waste your time on him.

8. Check back with Diamond Dave...

In a year. I predict that his words will have changed and will not be measured in the least.

6. Bush his self is not a demon or the enemy. Rather, Bush is

a fucking low intelligence idiot. It's the people around Bush that scare the shit out of me. Bush is their puppet just as daddy was, to a large extent, their puppet.

7. He is a Washingtonian

He is a nice enough guy I guess, but he serves the interest of the powerful. Has for years.
