Krugman self-immolates!

Bwahahahahahahaha! Fortunately, it looks like the Democrats haven't learned their lessons, and they'll be no closer to mainstream America in 2008 than they were this year! [img]graemlins/Laughing.gif[/img]

By PAUL KRUGMAN

President Bush isn't a conservative. He's a radical - the leader of a coalition that deeply dislikes America as it is. Part of that coalition wants to tear down the legacy of Franklin Roosevelt, eviscerating Social Security and, eventually, Medicare. Another part wants to break down the barriers between church and state. And thanks to a heavy turnout by evangelical Christians, Mr. Bush has four more years to advance that radical agenda.

Democrats are now, understandably, engaged in self-examination. But while it's O.K. to think things over, those who abhor the direction Mr. Bush is taking the country must maintain their intensity; they must not succumb to defeatism.

This election did not prove the Republicans unbeatable. Mr. Bush did not win in a landslide. Without the fading but still potent aura of 9/11, when the nation was ready to rally around any leader, he wouldn't have won at all. And future events will almost surely offer opportunities for a Democratic comeback.

I don't hope for more and worse scandals and failures during Mr. Bush's second term, but I do expect them. The resurgence of Al Qaeda, the debacle in Iraq, the explosion of the budget deficit and the failure to create jobs weren't things that just happened to occur on Mr. Bush's watch. They were the consequences of bad policies made by people who let ideology trump reality.

Those people still have Mr. Bush's ear, and his election victory will only give them the confidence to make even bigger mistakes.

So what should the Democrats do?

Krugman is an imbecile. Thank God the mules love him and follow his idiocy. If the dimocrats weren't so far off the ranch they might have a shot, but thankfully they let their hatred consume them at every turn.

Umm the failure to create jobs? The job report today says over 300,000 non-farm jobs were created in OCTOBER alone more than double the estimates.

Yep no jobs being created here...
