People Award Democrats for Aggression -- Polls Prove It!
Democrats have a clear picture now on fighting versus compromising. Look at the results for 4/13 and 1/16. In Congress, these were peak periods of Democratic challenges and aggression.

OK Harry Reid, D, NV, keep popping off and get some more of the DEMS to get very loud. Memo to Nancy Pelosi, D, CA, you are wonderful but would you please kick some ass. The nastier, the more oppositional we are, the more the public likes it! End of message.


Democracy Corps Poll conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research (D). April 13-19, 2005. N=1,058 likely voters nationwide. MoE ± 3.1.


"I know it is far ahead, but thinking about next year's elections, if the election for U.S. Congress were held today, would you be voting for the Democratic candidate or the Republican candidate in your district where you live?"


.....................Republican.......Democrat.......Other.......Unsure

4/13-19/05..............42..............47..............1.........10
<Threaten to shut down Senate completely. Nail Bolton.>
3/15-21/05..............45..............46..............1..........9
2/13-17/05..............44..............46..............1.........10
1/16-20/05..............43..............48..............2..........8
<Challenge Ohio. Reid organizes Senate for a fight. Dem Senators vote no on Rice and oppose Gonzales.>

1. The GOP has known this forever..
... it's freaking obvious to anyone paying any attention to politics in America - the only question is when are the Dem candidates and more importantly their overpaid "consultants" going to get it?

2. I wonder why Reid isn't on TV more. The CM probably keeps him off.
He's perfect. He says this outrageous and true stuff (e.g., the Greenspan slam) which people can listen to and absorb easliy since he's got this Bob Newhart persona. More Reid!

6. We all like ball-crushing politicians or heroes in general ....
I feel Harry Reid is behind some of the latest moves to out Guckert too. He messed with and Reid can be silent and lethal when he strikes. Remember, Reid, Lautenberg and Kennedy are the ones who launched the first FOIA on the fake columnist Williams???

7. If Reid's onto Guckert/Gannon, * is toast. Well, I can only hope!
And why would Guckert/Gannon stay overnight at the WH? Just sayin' :evilgrin:

8. Guckert/Gannon is going to be the pin that...
pops the Bush balloon, in time IMO. Reid is good and not afraid to bring up questions, I like him to.

9. If * and Gannon/Guckert are "firmly" connected, it's doomday for the Repub
licans. You are so right. They would be trashed and the Evangelicals that support * and herd their "flock" in his pasture, so to speak, would also be discredited, totally. They'd need to rename the Republican Party the effects would be so devastating. We'll see. :hi:
