Entry: A New Myth of '06 Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/a_new_myth_of_06#26538 Post contents: The reason for the 2006 debacle was largely the war. You can add the Foley and Abramoff scandals, the loss of morale from Bush's domestic spending policies that were indistinguishable from the Democrats, conservative anger at the look the other way Bush illegal immigration policy, and just plain weariness. Now you can add to the mix inflation, especially the gasoline price explosion, a turn of events that Americans who commute are forced to acknowledge on a daily basis. I can't figure out Barone. He worked for the second-to-last white mayor of Detroit(name escapes me) who was a typical liberal. His Almanac of American Politics had a liberal bent at the beginning. Then his liberal wife died at the same time he became affluent. Money changed him. And now he is as fervent a neo-conservative as the Kristols and the Podhoretzes. Sent at: 2008 10 07
