Onward and upward to downward and backward

“They turned our bridge to the 21st century into a tunnel back to the 19th century. We are thinking Democrats, not lockstep Republicans.”

—Sen. Hillary Clinton, in a speech to
the Democratic Leadership Council
,
Columbus, Ohio, July 25, 2005


We recall observing, back around 1998, that Republicans were intent on being trolls under the bridge to the 21st century. If only it had turned out that our observation was the worst that could be said about them.

    Bridges and tunnels?
    How about dumbwaiters(Dr. Dean’s comments) and well pulleys?(as opposed to “pie in the sky.”)
    Have democrats been logging in hours in labs a la Governer Reagan at Livermore in the 60s?
    Have they been collaborating with scientists and engineers for increased future energy independence, or is Senator Clinton a “pie in the sky” economic conservative and social liberal?
    I heard someone on C-SPAN a few weeks ago say that some kind of rift between economic conservativism and social conservatism in the Republican party may be the reason the democratic nominee wins in 2008.
    Do the Democrats have such a rift in the same person?
