Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco is now a standard part of President Bush&#8217;s campaign pitch.<br \/>\n&#8220;The top Democrat leader in the House made an interesting declaration. She said, &#8216;We love tax cuts.&#8217; Given her record, she must be a secret admirer,&#8221; Bush told a group of donors last week in Macon, Ga.<br \/>\n&#8220;If this is the Democrats&#8217; idea of love,&#8221; Bush said to laughter at a Chicago fundraiser a few days later, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to see what hate looks like.<br \/>\n[&#8230;]<br \/>\n&#8220;If Democrats are in control of the House, the president will have to listen,&#8221; Pelosi said. &#8220;The only way to deal with him is as a co-equal branch of government.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No, he won&#8217;t have to listen, he can veto everything that hits his desk if he wants.

I&#8217;m tempted to fast from the news until election day.  And I will have to avoid a number of blogs because there are some bloggers who actually believe the polls and are in doom and gloom mode.  I think it&#8217;s time for avoidance mode.
