Krugman shows us why the democrats lost power in two out three branches of government. They believe in nothing but polls. When Osama Ben Laden released a tape one week before the presidential election John Kerry actually took a poll to find out what he should say about it! The other guiding principle of Krugman and his army of pollsters is taken straight from the Chicken Little Political Handbook - "No matter the issue, the sky is falling.""Since November's election, the victors have managed to be on the wrong side of
public opinion on one issue after another: the economy, Social Security
privatization, Terri Schiavo, Tom DeLay. By large margins, Americans say that
the country is headed in the wrong direction, and Mr. Bush is the least popular
second-term president on record."Krugman then enlightens us on how Americans really feel.
"But Americans are feeling a sense of dread: they're worried about a weak job
market, soaring health care costs, rising oil prices and a war that seems to
have no end. And they're starting to notice that nobody in power is even trying
to deal with these problems, because the people in charge are too busy catering
to a base that has other priorities."
Since Krugman and the left are so firmly ensconced in polls I'm sure they want to honor the American people, who when polled this past November chose to give control of the executive and legislative branches of government to the Republicans, by taking a poll in the Senate on the president's judicial nominees. But then again, maybe there not really true believers in polls or the American people after all.
