A Year of Maximum Damage by the Republicans

[It is becoming increasingly clear that the Republicans -- both Bush and the still relatively effective minorities in the House and Senate -- are determined to wreck as much damage on our nation as they can before they are hopefully driven out of office by the next election cycle. One sees give aways to corporate interests right and left (e.g. the award of new dominant media outlets to the Murdocks this week) and more startling the denial of medical aid to children. These types manifestly are on a nihilistic trip that rivals any that we have seen in our nation's history. Presumably things will get far worse this next year. Be braced! Ed Kent]
