When Republicans are in power, they backslide on social issues. When it's the Democrat's turn, they start backsliding on the economy. Unfortunately the media are both more forgiving of the Dems and less able to understand the importance of economics, and so we never hear about these things until stuff starts to break. Worse still, when someone screws with my access to porn it means I have to take a cold shower. When someone screws with the economy, we're all doused with a bucket of cold water.

Which is the main, prime, horizon to zenith reason why I never plan on voting Democrat, ever, and constantly wonder why anyone else would want to do so. I knew they'd start pulling stunts like this as soon as nobody was looking. The only things that keep me from panicking outright is their razor thin majorities and a president from the right party who has no need to pay attention to polls anymore. But dear Lord that '08 election just keeps getting more and more important.

But the rest of you freaks, the ones who wanted and voted for a split government? Hope you're happy now.
