Two reasons Bush and the Republicans are in trouble.

1. Conservatives have over-hyped tax cuts. It's as if they cut taxes and they wanted people to believe the GDP would grow at 10% per year, 2 million new jobs every month, the stock market at 15,000 and a significant increase in personal income.

That didn't happen. Taxes were cut and now people are saying now what?

2. There hasn't been a terror alert since the election. I really believe this helped Bush politically and there hasn't been one.


The reason Democrats are having trouble politically is because they we're so successful when they were in power and it's difficult for them to think of anything else to accomplish.

What do the Republicans want to do? Do they want to increase the debt by another 2.5 trillion? Do they want to pass another entitlement like the prescription drugs. They over sold the effect of tax cuts and there is nothing left to fall back on.
