2. I wish they would enact liberal laws as well, however...

in light of the fact that they are to afraid; to even utter the word liberal, I can't believe they will achieve anything.

Sure, there are some liberal Democrats in powerful seats; but the Reagan, blue dog, and DLC Democrats are in the majority with around a 90% advantage over the liberals - and traditional Democrats in Congress.

However, I do see hope after 2008; in that the power shift from the Republican Democrats will shift more toward "liberalism" as it has in the 2006 election.

And - I see great things happening outside of Congress, in the court of public opinion, because the political democratic process is basically bankrupt and/or dead.
