“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Bite them no more

Josh Marshall has been posting on the Fainthearted Faction (Democrats who seem to support privatization) and the Conscience Caucus (Republicans who do not support privatization). Maybe he can take a little time to track down members of the "bite your lip caucus" as well (those Republicans who pledged party unity but now see no reason to support Bush).

Says Tom Tancredo, Representative from Colorado:
"Second-term presidents don't have a terribly impressive success rate. . . . I don't know where he's going to get the votes to do some of these things."

I like his attitude. I really do.
