Thanks Lindy Bill for the post about R Emmett Tyrrell's comments in the March issue of The American Spectator. The Spectator Editor, Richard Emmett Tyrrell has had his hand on the pulse of American politics since he made his debut in Washington about the time of the Reagan Revolution and challenged the Main Stream Media. Once again he does that with his comments about the 2004 and 2006 elections. Main stream would have us believe that 2006 was a major victory for the Dems. Tyrrell refutes the main stream and debunks the claim by the main stream that the off year 2006 election was a major victory for the Democrats. A snippet from LB's excerpt--------- "Then in 2004 Bush beat another of the Coat and Tie Radicals' prodigies, Jean-Francois Kerry, the anti-Vietnam War Vietnam War hero. To be sure, in the 2006 off-year elections Bush suffered losses; but they were basically only the normal losses that a two-term president can expect to suffer in his second off-year election, and many of the newly elected Democrats were spouting conservative lines: pro-life, anti-gun control, no new taxes. The election set the stage for a colossal intragenerational match-up in 2008." Ordering my copy of Tyrrell's book, THE CLINTON CRACKUP, and a copy for a friend. Essential reading imo. mj
