\n the War in Iraq, the one area where until recently he had a decided edge
\n over Kerry, has eroded to the point that the candidates are dead even
\n when the public is asked who has the better policy on the war.<\/p>\n

\n it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the charade that inflation
\n is still creeping along at a 3% rate. Anyone with half a brain
\n who does their own shopping knows what is happening to prices in this

\n in Congress, Bush was mismanaging a baseball team and running Arbusto Energy
\n and later Harken Energy into the ground. Since getting elected, Bush
\n has gotten the country into

\n the Patriots Super bowl win last January. Even the usually reliable protesters
\n fizzled pathetically, with a bottom line of one flag burned and a grand
\n total of three arrests. Politically volatile groups such as the environmentalists
\n and the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Alliance behaved themselves and got
\n along like drunken fraternity brothers at a toga party. The lions lay down with the lambs in
\n the mosh pit and they all emerged singing "We shall overcome".<\/p>\n

\n platform fights in ’64, the war protests practically derailed the convention
\n in ’68, and there were splinter groups and third party rebellions at
\n every convention, up to and including the Clinton years. Pugnatious platform plank battles and dueling delegate slates were the norm. In fact,
\n it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Democratic Party has
\n not been this united since they nominated FDR for an unprecedented 4th
\n term in office.<\/p>\n

\n give credit where credit is due, and all Hail the savior of the Democratic
\n Party – George W. Bush!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
