topazThis afternoon All Things Considered discussed the plans by the right wing to redouble their attack on abortion. A university political observer was quoted, "Religious conservatives have been, in their view, very patient with the Republican party... now that Republicans control both houses of Congress as well as the White House, conservatives are going to expect some action on their agenda." Bill Frist, that nice moderate guy who now happens to be majority leader, announced his intention to start the session with a head-on attack on partial birth abortion.
These days I'm pissed off all the time about this, and I can't even figure out who to be pissed off at. I'm pissed at Nader and the Green Party for playing Russian Roulette with our few shaky political gains, and I'm even more pissed off at the Democratic Party for demonstrating their exquisite ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Who do you turn to now? It's enough to make the anarchists look good.
