Broder Again: Voters Want What I Want, Even Though They Don't
From Big Tent Democrat
David Broder seeks the title of Dean through the sheer force of his illogic:
The public has shown similar consistency with party support for Congress. In the latest poll, Democrats lead Republicans, 54 percent to 41 percent, among registered voters. In November 2005 the Democrats led 52 percent to 37 percent. The margins are almost identical. . . . What all this suggests is a settled judgment on the part of the majority of Americans that the current leadership of the nation is not doing the job that people expect. This is the government the people chose in 2004, but now they are showing clear signs of buyer's remorse. . . . What is driving public opinion is an overall impression that those in office -- meaning mainly Republicans -- have let things slide out of control and need to be relieved.
. . . Fortunately, the voters have the power -- if they pull the trigger on Election Day -- to create a new plot for the Washington drama. . . . [T]he public is tired of the partisan bickering, tired of the gridlock and eager to elect people who will focus on the real problems and work together to find solutions.
No, Dean Broder, the message is right there in your polls - the country has had enough of Republicans and Bush. And they have had enough of you and the Beltway mentality. You see, the rejection of the Media is part of the story too. Not by Republicans. But by progessive Democrats and Independents. They are tired of your know nothing empty platitudes. And we don't have to wait until November to see if you get voted out - you lost already.
