They have been losing their power since 1992, and with how things are shaping up, I don't see them getting any back for quite a while.

But we're not the leadership of the Democratic party. I don't give a rat's ass about the leadership of a party I'm only affiliated with because I had to pick
something. I don't live in the rarified air of the "Beltway," nor am I a political junkie. I'm a small business owner. I have a day-to-day life, filled with such concerns as a president who wants to make the continued marginilization of my life into a constitutional amendment. I live a day-to-day life that involves the embarrassment and shame over Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. Ilive a day-to-day life in which I'm infuriated over the amount of money being wasted this week on inaugurational ass-kissing. I'm still embarrassed over our initial pledges of money towards the Tsunami relief effort.
I don't look to polls to decide what's right and what's wrong. Polls are a lawyer's tool to use against an opponent, not a gauge of decency. If polls were all we needed, Saturday night would be a great night to throw on a toga and go watch Christians being eaten by lions, people
love that kind of crap. If polls were all we needed, I'd either be, or have, a slave. Again, popular in the polls. I look to the office of the Presidency to inspire, to lead by example, to set a tone. That's why I hate this man so much. He embarrasses us in front of the entire world.
