A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    Republican strategy works

    What Glenn says about who has been in control and what the results are is perfectly true, and Americans are apparently waking up to these things.

    But it is also true that McCain was leading in the polls just a few weeks ago and progressives do not now have a working majority in Congress. This situation exists because the Republican propaganda strategies have worked in the past, and continue to work now. If voters' opinions were based on issues, past performance and ideology, Republicans would get no more of the vote than the 25% or so hard-core rightists.
