The end of Republican dominance: the Pottery Barn Rule

"The GOP has no idea what is about to hit them.

If you tune into AM talk radio...it sounds no different than it always has. If you follow the words of leading GOP Senators, you see that it is business as usual.....Sen. Hagel reconfirms his support for Bush, Sen. McCain is standing next to George on Air Force One. Fox and Rush and Tucker and David are all in line, on board and down with the GWB program. Hell, the GOP House just voted in unison in support of Tom DeLay....same old, same old.

What's funny and sad about this is what they don't realize: this is the worst President in the history of the United States. And he has had a GOP Congress and judiciary to do his bidding. At the end of the day, Colin Powell was right: the Pottery Barn rule will be the dominant meme of this election. The GOP broke it, and the GOP owns it.

* Iraq
* Abu Ghraib
* WMD
* the economy
* gas prices
* the flu shots
* Medicare
* lack of election reform
* Health Care premiums
* our National Guard system

You see, there are three weekends till election day. Congress is shut up. Everyone's home working their base...and yet there is something that is becoming absolutely clear about the Republican party this year: the only thing they will understand is a good old-fashioned ass whupping at the polls. And this year, they are going to get one."
