Thank you, George Bush

Americans have finally realized that the modern Republican movement, lead by George Bush, Tom Delay, Bill Frist, Karl Rove, and Dick Cheney is a complete and abject failure:

In a (perhaps) historic shift, more Americans now consider themselves Democrats than Republicans, the Gallup organization revealed today.

Republicans had gained the upper hand in recent years, but 33% of Americans, in the latest Gallup poll, now call themselves Democrats, with those favoring the GOP one point behind. But Gallup says this widens a bit more "once the leanings of Independents are taken into account."

Independents now make up 34% of the population. When asked if they lean in a certain direction, their answers pushed the Democrat numbers to 49% with Republicans at 42%. One year ago, the parties were dead even at 46% each.

Congressional Democrats are going to have to get pretty creative to fuck this one up. I'm sure they won't disappoint.
