"A few years?"

The Democrats have held Congress and the Senate for two and a half years now, and the Presidency as well for six months. I suppose it's possible to screw things up worse than they have so far, but I'd rather not give them that much time.

    - Seriously. Does anyone know where the phrase "Permanent majority" came from? Has someone other than TB used it lately? (n/t) - alcaray - 7/2/2009 12:45:45 AM

        If the Republicans want to win back the majority, what they have to do is become electable. - Mary Anne - 7/3/2009 12:33:59 AM

        "many years" is not the same as "permanent" - Robert - 7/2/2009 6:59:34 AM
    - Nope. It sounds just as destructive to democracy now as at any other time. - alcaray - 7/1/2009 8:24:24 PM
- Well, well, well! "GOP's Coleman concedes, sending Franken to Senate." - Bowser - 6/30/2009 8:35:01 PM
