Looks like a feeding frenzy at a cannibal thanksgiving. The youth movement looks like it will implode again. I wonder if the College Dems will drop from their purpoted "thousands" of chapters back down to under 500 again?

Given that exit polls indicate that people voted for or against W. for moral/religious reasons and that people are (reportedly) beginning to physically segregate themselves by state, city and community, I wonder if the USA will remain a single country in the long term.

I'll say this: I think Blue Staters will be a helluva lot more interested in "States Rights" going forward.

But secession? Nah. That's just joking. For now, anyway. The South (led by SC) started talking about secession long before they actually did it. No one here is seriously discussing secession yet. So even if it is the eventual outcome (doubtful, IMO), it's decades off.

I'd be tempted to move, in that situation, but you also have to remember that it doesn't take that many of the religionists to form a community amongst themselves.

A thing to consider: Bushies will probably make a new push for the FMA. With a number of Democratic senators in red states being up to re-election, there will be a considerable temptation for them to vote it, especially considering the strength of the anti-gay marriage vote that represented itself.

This what I talked about earlier. In the near future, gays and lesbians might be without any political party.

quote: Originally posted by rah It's easy. Because the competition was perceived as worse. What's so hard to understand about that? It's the ultimate insult to Kerry. Instead of making fun of REPUBS for being stupid, you should be making fun of Democrats that thought Kerry was presidential material and voted him to be their candidate. I would have voted for the Democrat if it had been even a decent candidate. But Kerry, I wouldn't trust him to set policy for walking my dog. And that's why he lost. Too many repubs that didn't really want to vote for bush felt the same way. So the Democrats have to carry the burden also.

As far as I understand, the major issue was that Bush won his misinformation war.

Kerry was viewed as a far-left Liberal (when he is only slightly left of centeR).

He was viewed as not fiscally responsible (which he always has been).

And there are other similar issues. His campaign failed to strongly indicate his positions.

quote: Originally posted by Dissident you actually admit to being a republican?

Dissident, I find your post more than puzzling. I have been a Republican all my life, even when it appeared the party had no hope after the Kennedy assassination when the Dems hammered Goldwater and had 2/3 majorities in Congress. Conservatism then was a dirty word.

The entire polictical landscape changed after Carter was elected and he brought on national humiliation and a ruinous economy. The country reacted strongly and elected Reagan. The rest is somewhat history. Over time, the Democrat party has been losing all conservatives, so much so, that the party is downright radical at this point. The party has become the party of religion haters.

As I said in an earlier post, Catholics noticed. When I was a kid, only a handful of my Catholic grade school did not support Kennedy. Every Catholic was a Democrat. Today, the Catholic vote goes Republican. The anti-Catholic hatred poring out of Democrat Party is noticed.

If Democrats ever truly want to be a national party again, it has to move back to the center and put muzzle the religion haters in their party. Whether it was mock or true, at least Clinton himself appeared to be a man of faith. Altar boy Kerry could not fool anyone when he consistently voted for killing born babies in Congress. It was not a mistake that the Catholic Church all but said that voting for Kerry was a sin.

I wore all black today as a sign of mourning, but tomorrow I will wear my white "Bush is an as*h*le" T-shirt. The revolution, my comrades, is at hand!! The mass migration to anywhere but the USA revolution. Which will be followed by the Bush citizen reclamation movement, which will require the conquering of other nations which may happen to have citizens who were at one time American in origin.

God, I can only wish you freaks would carry out your threats to leave. Why Europe, though. Why not join with your communist fellow-travellers in Cuba or Vietnam?

We're two days past the election with the biggest voter turnout ever, and a decisive victory for the President not seen since 1988. I thought that just maybe this would have something to do with other issues than who's the bigger liar...

I also understand that Bush is the first president re-elected with his party solidly controlling both houses of Congress since 1900. (I wonder about FDR's re-elections. But in those days, the Southern Democrats were a party of their own.)

I thought it was decided a few hundred years ago that faith based politics was a bad idea, that is how the idea of the separation of church and state came about.

And it does not mean politics must give a **** about faith, or make any decisions based on it whatsoever- you seem to have some mental block with this simple concept.
