The Democrat Party is in complete shambles. All that remains are localized strongholds of power. The republican party is in shambles...all that remains are gay marriage, flag burning, prayer in school... ``I'm not sure what this Congress has accomplished," said Dick Armey, the former House Republican leader who is now with FreedomWorks, which advocates lower taxes and less government. Both Republicans and Democrats in the Senate and House have been staking out positions they hope will help them win control of Congress in the November midterm elections. ``Historically, this is certainly not a Congress that will be remembered," said Larry Sabato, of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. ``There is just not much there." In the first two-thirds of the 2006 legislative session, Congress has passed two major bills: renewal of the Patriot Act and an extension of $70 billion in federal tax cuts. boston.com Al

Ted, And I don't think it has much to do with any flaw in the Dem. party. Wake up, Ted. The exact opposite is true. The Democrat Party is in complete shambles. All that remains are localized strongholds of power. What is the standard you are using to come to that conclusion? They pass few bills in Congress? That's because they are not the majority. They didn't win two presidential elections in a row? They came very close both times. Hardly symptomatic of a party in decline. It seems they are raising more money than the GOP: Message 22560517 Does that disprove your theory? Again, how did you reach your conclusion? And btw I am wide awake. No need to suggest I am not.
