Blistering editorial in today's NY Times. They endorsed no Republicans for the House or Senate this year. The Congressional Republicans have failed to hold Bush accountable while they've all been corrupt and incompetent. Bush and the Hill Republicans have been a toxic combination for America.
The only way to change the course is to change the Congress:
This election is indeed about George W. Bush — and the Congressional majority’s insistence on protecting him from the consequences of his mistakes and misdeeds. Mr. Bush lost the popular vote in 2000 and proceeded to govern as if he had an enormous mandate. After he actually beat his opponent in 2004, he announced he now had real political capital and intended to spend it. We have seen the results. It is frightening to contemplate the new excesses he could concoct if he woke up next Wednesday and found that his party had maintained its hold on the House and Senate.
The national progressive organizations should learn something from today's Times editorial..."
