goraidh, I agree with what you said, but I think the Dems are stymied, bumfuzzled, at a loss for words, to put it in basic terms. They just don't know HOW to deal with one of the weakest, most reviled, presidents in modern history.
It's as though they see Bush as a shark, with his/its small brain but with the ability to smell blood with a killer's instinct. The Democrats repeat the same mistakes endlessly. Why do they do this? I do believe that many of the Dems are truly committed to "doing something" about our constitutional crisis and they feel passionate about the necessity to "fix things" but they have no strategy for implementing change because they don't know how to fight with sharks.
That may sound simplistic, but unfortunately reality-based thinkers cannot figure out how to fight these bastards.
