Democrats provide
secure opportunity
there is no crisis
--Guy in the elevator

According to a british psychologist, today is the "most depressing day" of the year. If you are a member of the Republican Party, that must be true. Democrats have an agenda. The Administration is retreating on the "crisis" as Republicans refuse to spread the lie.

Time to escalate...BlogPAC.

Every political victory Bush has had so far - the tax cuts, the war, the more tax cuts, the reelection - has been based on fear and the fact that his agenda seems costless to the American people and his own party. With Social Security, that is no longer the case. Here's a proposal he is fraudulently arguing, which is nothing new, but that requires his party's congressional wing to take political risks. At no point in the past four years has a Republican Congressman had to choose between supporting his party leader or going with his constituents' wishes. Now, with Social Security, they are faced with such a decision.

Over at MyDD, Jerome monitors the trend:

Now (via DU's blog) look at this. Rasmussen shows Bush's approval rating collapsing over the past week:



    Approval   Disapproval

Jan 23     44          54

Jan 22     43          55

Jan 21     44          54

Jan 20     44          54

Jan 19     46          52

Jan 18     48          50

Jan 17     48          50

The White House is in damage control mode, as they have now figured out that the "4 more wars" speech by Bush fell flat, and their efforts to change wording midway through the debate on Social Security placing them on the defensive. Anyway, with numbers like those, Bush has not one iota of capital, and many Republicans in Congress seem anxious to distance themselves from Bush's privatization plans for Social Security. Democrats have a foothold, a good grip, and now it's time for us to tackle Bush.

Now is the time to escalate. We have the mo' and we need to push hard and push now. Contribute and join www.ThereIsNoCrisis.com
