Heads up: The End of the Republican Revolution

From this week's Time Magazine article, "The end of a revolution":

"But after controlling both houses of Congress for most of President
Bush's six years in office, the GOP has a governing record that has dismayed
those who fantasized about what Newt Gingrich and his band of rebels might
accomplish. To win votes back home, lawmakers in session have been spending
like sailors on leave, producing the biggest budget deficits in history.
The party's approach to national security has taken the country into a war
that most Americans now believe was a mistake and that the government's own
intelligence experts say has shaped 'a new generation of terrorist leaders
and operatives.'"
