Discover GOP Opprobrium

[teapeebubbles]

What, exactly, was being built in all these years of Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay and Trent Lott and Bill Frist and, since 2000, Karl Rove, the fabled Architect???

The legacy of Bush abroad is the Iraq war that has the U.S. military firmly planted in the middle of Arabia, and a world that hates us. The legacy of Bush at home is the bizarre Terri Schiavo affair, Katrina, a worsening health care crisis, etc. The people observed all of this, in real time.

Karl's vision has always been, in his own words, a "permanent Republican majority." The political legacy of Bush and this era of modern Republicanism is a Democratic-controlled House, a Democratic-controlled Senate, and most likely a Democratic-controlled White House next year.

Them's what I call consequences.
