We need to start laying the groundwork for the 2008 election by holding the Republicans accountable for the past and future failures of the Bush Administration. Bush got elected by making a series of unrealistic promises; cut the deficit in half in 5 years, cut health care costs through tort reform, bring democracy and stability to the Middle East. We need to make sure every voter knows that Bush was given four more years specifically to make good on these promises. He was given a sizable Senate and House majority. For Republicans there are no more excuses, they can't blame Clinton or 9/11. This is the time to act to influence Conventional Wisdom. We need LTE's and all Democratic pundits on message- "If Republicans can't cut the deficit in half, provide low cost health care and bring democracy to Iraq in the next four years, Republican policies will have failed and we need to go in a new direction".
