America is shifting leftward
It is always dangerous to generalize about ideological trends among the American electorate, since it will always lean right on certain issues (like defense, terrorism and taxes) and hew to the left on others (like healthcare, education, poverty and the environment). But the data are becoming overwhelming that the nation is moving left and is likely to stay that way through at least the 2006 election — and, if President Bush doesn’t adjust, for a lot longer.

The evidence is clear: The generic party ballot for Congress, for example, has now swollen to a 13-point Democratic edge while Bush’s job approval hangs in the 40s and his advisers are relieved that it is no longer a lot lower.

Why the leftward move?

A big part of the reason is the success the Bush administration has had in solving and hence diminishing the importance of the Republican agenda. Taxes have been cut, we have not had a terror attack since Sept. 11 and trial lawyers are on the defensive. The issues that remain — energy, environment, healthcare and Social Security — usually are Democratic and liberal.

I still can't understand why the Big Dog hired this fool. I can't stand his voice - always reminds me of the sleaziest snake oil salesman.

Lets hope

that the fat pig is right for once and America is turning leftward.

1. Wake up and smell the toejam, Dick!

You dick!

[Avalux]

2. LOL! I just love Dickie's reasoning -

America is shifting leftward because Bushco has been SUCCESSFUL in solving the problems that make up their agenda! Isn't that fantastic?? :rofl:

12. Excuse me! My mouse is hosed, or SOMETHING!!

Damn--I only clicked once, I thought....

[MADem]

13. Dupe due to severe clickitis!!

[MADem]

Sorry for my dupe.....

My actual message is found in the NEXT post!! Agggh, the shame.....

[MADem]

14. That made me roar as well!!!

Talk about trying to POLISH A WET, STEAMING TURD!!!! It could not possibly be that the chump is a miserable friken FAILURE; it has to be because he was so "successful!"

Wasted, empty words from a bloated, foolish ass. Keep whistling in the dark, Dickie--and I hope he's put some money aside, because when the GOP is scrambling to try and get back in the game, they ain't gonna have any crumbs for that toad....and he BURNED his bridges with the regular, real folk. Ya can't go home again, Dickie!

McDonald's is always hiring--he will just have to learn to say "Want some freedom fries with that?" with a smile on his face, the schmuck!

17. Nice save, lol.

:rofl:

[MADem]

18. Oh, the shame, the SHAME!!!!!!!

I hate when that happens!!!!!!

[stopbush]

3. Noooo! Say it ain't so! It's the kiss of death!

Dick Morris hasn't been right on anything political for at least 10 years. If he says it, you can assume that the opposite is true.

Damn!

15. That's ok -- it's the REASONS that he's wrong on.

Yes, the repubs got their agenda through, but in doing so they've exposed just how bankrupt that agenda was -- the tax cuts that helped nobody but the wealthy; the lack of domestic terror attacks show that the danger was never as dire as they claimed and that 9/11 happened precisely because this administration was ignoring terror until it happened. There's not a repub program that's been pushed though that has not made things worse for everyday Americans, and people are realizing it and responding by actually listening to the left.

4. Oh my god! We're turning left because W solved all our problems?

STEP AWAY FROM THE CRACK PIPE, DICK!

[Crazy Dave]

5. Dick More-Ass

:rofl:

Sorry, couldn't help myself....must be the cold meds.

[jobycom]

6. Man, he's an idiot. Bush has solved all the Repub's issues?

Bush has banned abortion? Bush has shrunk government? Bush has lowered taxes?

The reason for the leftward shift is Bush's failure, not his success.

[Captain Hilts]

7. Was he the toe 'sucker' or the 'suckee'?

I can't remember except for the NYPost article was published the same issue as Dallas Green being fired as Mets manager and that the sucking took place at the Jefferson Hotel in DC.

[MADem]

16. Sucker--a total sucker!!!

And not too smart either--how hard is it to pull the damn curtains when you are cavorting in a hotel room with a call girl?????

[The Backlash Cometh]

8. He means that America is digging its heels in.

No more following the lemmings over the cliff.

[stepnw1f]

9. More Unqualified Rich Republicans

in positions without the merit to qualify them. Just another cynical sleazy dishonest hack.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. If this is "success", shit - I'd hate to see "failure"! nt

[mazzarro]

11. Dick "Washed Up" Morris

Still trying to be relevant! I do not recall the last time he has ever been correct in his analysis. No the public has become aware of the corruption engendered by rethuglican political philosophy and the harm such agenda is doing to the nation and the world. The unfair tax cuts have been exposed for what they are; the so called defense strategy has exposed the nation's weakness at an unfortunate time; the abject and unbridled cronyism and incompetence of the rethuglican administration has made most people regret ever giving the party the control of all branches of government. That is why the country is shifting leftward.

19. "trial lawyers are on the defensive"

Why yes they are. The defense of Republicans that is.

Dick seems to forget that Republicans are having a few problems lately.

20. Morris is loathesome vermin. The sight of him is vomit-inducing.
