The republicans have already won the election. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have made sure of that. They are proof positive of everything that is wrong with the Democratic party. They campaigned on what I call the, Camelot Doctrine. Which is basically painting an idealistic picture for all Americans of socialized medicine, equal dispersion of wealth (w/o having to work for it....France anyone) and the promise to protect the right to litigate to your hearts content - with no eye on wasted tax payer money - even if it gets you absolutely nowhere.
The problem with this idealistic world is that "Voting Americans" recognized the agenda for what it is, fundamentally flawed. Idealistic worlds can never work because they are delivered in a static state (one not effecting the other). While most educated Americans know that the world constantly operates in the dynamic state (one effecting the other). Only the extreme ends of both parties view the world in an idealistic state and vote that way. Proof positive in not one bill being passed in Congress and their 18% approval rating. Compared to Mr. Bush's 36%.
Democrats deal with the minority issues: Only 15% of Americans don't have health care. Only 3.4% of Americans are unemployed. Only 6% of Americans are not satisfied with their lifestyle. Less 20% of all Americans live below the poverty level. And this is the 3rd best economy Americans have ever experienced. Any other country and I do mean any would kill for those statistics.
While the Republicans deal with the reality of the world and things that affect the everyday life of Americans...taxes, security, not having to wait 2 years for an MRI. They also look to solve pressing future issues, Social Security and Immigration. Even the 800 lbs. gorilla in the room, Iraq, won't matter. Americans don't like us there, but know we can just pack up and leave. Some Americans might not like the way it gets accomplished, but in the end it gets accomplished. And that is much more than any Democrat can say.
