I predicted the future!! Woo hoo

I was going over a Winds of change post of mine from May 2003 telling the Dems that the economy would not be an issue for the election.

Here we are. The economy is not an issue.

And Bush is still more trusted on the war.

Bush in a lanslide.

Below is my post:

The Democrats are losing on two fronts despite the cheerleading and whistilng past the grave evidenced here[ed. note - at Winds of Change].

The national security front so well examined here [ed. note - at Winds of Change]. And the economic front examined here:

Socialism is Dead

What the Democrats fail to realize is that it is time for national unity politics. The most important thing they can do for the country is to protect civil liberties in time of war. In this effort they find significant support on the right.

Despite what the Democrats who have posted here think, Bush's tax cut will jump start the economy in the next 12 to 18 months i.e. just in time for the election.

The economic question has been settled. The security question has been settled. That leaves only civil liberties for the Democrats. To win elections the Democrats will have to move towards the center. As I pointed out in the above url, the Republican social conservatives can live without a government enforced social situation. The Democrats cannot live without government enforced redistribution. Redistributionist policies are falling out of favor all over ther world, not just in America.

I think the idea that the Ds are in for at least a 16 or 20 year hard ride are right on the money. In fact I predict the demise of the Democrats. It is the only way to cohesively restructure the elements of the party that are properly aligned for today's politics.
