from 2004 http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110004621 [quote] But the fiscal stalwarts are also considering tactical political moves to stop the spending binge. Some are considering forming a "suicide squad" that would block or vote against their own party if any more huge spending bills arrive. Others have suggested that it's time for term limits for seats on the Appropriations Committee, which is the soul of the spending machine. ... While these folks bring experience, they also bring an aversion to political risk and avoid controversial votes or reform. That helps explain why House Republicans have shown the most opposition to personal Social Security accounts, even as they push for a gas-tax increase to finance more highway projects. But if voters want highways, they can elect Democrats. The danger for Republicans is that voters will start to see them the same way they did the Jim Wright Democrats of the 1980s--concerned only with keeping power for power's sake.

But the feeling among the grass roots may be more unsettled than at any point since 1998. "There is a sort of universal disquiet," explains David Keene, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, who will welcome the Conservative Political Action Conference, the largest annual gathering of right-wing activists, to Washington on Thursday. "But it's unclear whether it's serious enough to result in the sort of depression that would elect a bunch of Democrats in 2006." [quote] Read in context

Democrats have 60 votes in the Senate, an overwhelming majority in the House and the Presidency. They have the votes to pass whatever they can agree to. Can't blame the Republicans for Democrats unable to agree among themselves. Read in context
