For every action...there's an equal and opposite reaction. The neocons have tried to push America so far to the right in such a short period of time. There will be an equal and opposite move to the left as a result of this.

No Debbie Credit whatever ... it's just my personal observations from political movements in asia, europe, central and south america.

I think they understand it, but believed they had found ways to manipulate the system in order to keep a permanent Republican majority, such as fixing the machines on which we vote (look up the Republican party's ties to ES&S, Sequoia and Diebold voting machine companies and the many many "mistakes" which happened in hotly contested districts in 2000 & 2004)
I do not think they accounted for the independent media to provide us with real information - ie. not what the main stream media force feeds us - but what is actually happening.
They assumed we would not pay too much attention and feel comfortable sacrificing liberties for some false sense of security. This only goes so far and people are starting to realize this administration is all about fear-mongering, lies and corruption.
IMPEACHMENT

Do Neolibs understand that what Gemini said is true as demonstrated by the public's reaction to the Democrat control of the country during the 1960s? I.E., do Neolibs see that the reason why Republicans were doing so well in national elections during the 1970s and 80s was because of the fact that at the end of the 1960s, the country ended up in far worse shape than at the beginning of that decade? And do Neolibs see that Bill Clinton's strategy in winning 1992 was to move the Democrat Party to the right, instead of toward the left?
Thumbs up for Daniel L below me!!

The same can be said about the radical left. The centrist's balance the fringe out in most cases. Though it dose seem the vocal minority in both parties are the squeakiest wheel and seem to get all the oil.

There will be an equal and opposite response.
Which is why people on the left push back harder the more people on the right try to push a right-wing agenda -- and the same replies in reverse.
Whether the opposing reaction will be successful is a different issue.

Thats what we do is try to push things to the right. And the liberals try to push things to the left. Its called a battle for the American heart using the marketplace of ideas.

Maybe you oughta ask yourselves the same question, the day the elections was lost for the Dems in '04 was the day the radical left legalised Gay Marriage up north. Just saying there bud.

I doubt the politicians on the left will have anything to show for it.
Is Pelosi (a speaker with approval ratings 1/2 that of Bush's) and Clinton (a wealthy oppurtunist who feeds off her husband's money) the best you can do?

I read some of the conservative replies to your question. Are conservatives really this ignorant? I can't imagine people that stupid.

A little closer to the middle would be fine with me.
