It's true...the Republicans know how to manipulate the public and to gain power...obviously. However, recent history tells us that the Republicans don't know how to hang on to it. They always give away the power by wanting it too much. Nixon, Gingrich, now Bush (Bush Bush Bush and Bush). All the troubles Bush has had in the past year are really an abuse of power in the end.

I'd like to think the Democratic Party helped them along. But, really, they did do it to themselves.
