What we've seen this week is a hopeful sign. Democrats and Republicans felt the heat from an enraged constituency on the Immigration issue. The conservative base rebelled against the Establishment and the Establishment, to a certain degree, listened. As for the "liberal" side of things? They're still trying to get Bush impeached, something that doesn't have much traction outside of the "liberal" community, mainly because they are no longer "liberals" but instead they are simply "anti-conservative."

I never thought I see the day the Republican base would rise up against its leaders in a show of -- liberalism. These certainly are strange times we live in.
