Who would have ever thought the emboldened conjunction would have been reasonable? But it is. However, though jmfcst and I agree on the economy, I know that I am not 'crowing' (can't speak for him). I'm not particularly pleased about the state of policy, as it has not changed from the extreme right, nor does the economy effect me much directly. I
I only hold the position I do because it seems the most likely outcome.
I'm just waiting for some people here (and it ain't just you or Democrats in general) to realize that, economically, Bush's policies are Obama's policies and vice versa, just that the benefited elites don't always align. If we ever reach that point, then maybe we get somewhere.
Um, lots of us left-leaners always say that the Democrats are a center-right party, scarcely any different at all from the Republicans. Basically the Democrats are the same as the Republicans on economics, at least in all important or substantive ways, and the only distinction between the parties is the very fine one about social issues.
