A good thing about Bush winning:

The next few years are going to be a fucking nightmare...for Bush.

Not only is he inheriting his own legacy of terrorism, war, deficit, and international alienation, but every day, the already preposterous argument that "everything is Clinton's fault" gets less and less credible.

There will be more domestic and international terrorism. There will be more deficit, there will be more war dead, and there will be more division between the American public.

Not that I wish any of this tragedy on any of us, mind you, but face it, it WILL happen.

And the RW will have NOBODY to blame but themselves. They swept the House, the Senate, the states, and the Executive Branch. It's all on them.

Scapegoat-free zone.

Doubt I'll enjoy it much, though.

they'll find somebody to blame...

Have they ever taken any responsiblity for any of their numerous mistakes?

keeps rolling into their accounts.

Whatever happens, it the fault of the Repubs.

Didn't Robertson say New York was asking for it because of the lesbians?

because he cannot see his mistakes. Too bad all of us have to pay.

There is nothing good about this coup.

After everything both implodes and explodes, the republican party will no longer have any street cred in America, and the mainstream of America will come to realize that trying to be a christian fundy idiot theocracy spells doom for everyone.

Unless, of course, the repukes just take over the country like Hitler did, and set themselves as the only party.

Which wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Fundamentalism, when relegated to the minority, has a survival mentality, and feeds on everything that it is against. But when it achieves a majority (actual or perceived), gains enough control and power and has no more enemies to conquer, it begins to feed on itself. That's the core fault of fundamentalism; when life's goal is to be more orthodox than everyone else, you soon discover you can never be orthodox enough. It will eventually implode upon itself, and mainstream America will see the right-wing theocracy for the idiocy that it is.

I just hope it happens soon, because soon there might not be much left of mainstream America to pick up the pieces.

sometimes it takes just that little bit too long to destroy itself, and DOES destroy everything around it first.

But now that there are NO dems left to defeat, they can only begin to argue with themselves.

because, as you say, fundamentalists can exist only with something to be AGAINST. They are never a force for BEING FOR something - only AGAINST. So now that they have no dems to argue against, they can only fight with themselves.

Now that they have the power to outlaw abortion, we're gonna see a huge fight and explosion over their differing definitions of abortion.

Now that they have the power to outlaw gay marriage, we're gonna see a huge fight over minor differences in "marriage" and "gay".

Now that they have the power to outlaw all sorts of other stuff, we're gonna see a huge fight over every jot and tittle.

Pharisees cannot help but argue and fight and then divide over jots and tittles.

We just have to hope that they don't manage to agree, first, to destoy everything else before they decide to argue with one another.

It will be a mess to clean up when it's over, but when we finally do get to put the pieces back together, we'll probably end up with something that looks nothing like it what we had originally, and we might just end up with something alot better!

some other group they are working on making up a sinister name for right now?

Disaffected youth? Leftists? Marxists? Anarchists? Jews?

take your pick.

four more years of great material.

to undo the damage Clinton did to this country. /sarcasm

They'll hang onto that one for awhile. Yeah 8 years of peace and prosperity.

sums it up.
