A Dreary Spring for Conservatives

Larry Kudlow has some thoughts on the dreary political spring that conservatives are now experiencing.

Conservatives were near ecstatic last November when President Bush won handily and the Republicans strengthened their hold in Congress. Hopes were high that little could stop the implementation of a true conservative agenda, one that featured supply-side economic reform, investor-owned Social Security reform, serious budget restraint, large-scale energy deregulation, legal-abuse-curbing tort reform, and the confirmation of pro-business, pro-life judicial nominees.

But the hoped-for domestic-reform agenda has gone nowhere. Five months into Bush’s new term, the president and the American people are witnessing a cycle of self-flagellation in pursuit of endless process debate inside the U.S. Senate.

I have to admit - the Democrats lost the 2004 elections badly, but have won many of the battles this year (by obstruction). Who woulda thunk it?
