I don't think 2008 will be like 2004

In 2008, will the Republicans be playing as hard, as dirty, as sleazy, as anti-American, as they did in 2004?

Absolutely NOT.

They'll be even worse.

But the thing is, I think Americans are so fatigued -

- by the crappy economy
- the constant promise of terror and fear from Bush/Republicans
- by the lack of ANY action out of Washington (beyond whatever is required to maintain the status quo)
- by the changes Bush/Republicans have wrought in this country, from high gas prices to the pillaging of our treasury
- by the ENDLESS stream of scandals coming out of Washington, pretty much daily
- the complete dishonesty and corruption surrounding our government
- by the knowledge of our shattered and tattered world image

and lots more stuff.

I think this fatigue will not allow the creation of the kind of energy we saw in 2004, where huge crowds would chant together, "flip-flop," where Republicans were SO certain THEY were right. I don't think we'll see that sort of thing in 2008.

I just don't think we have the energy for it...

Their hate and ignorance knows no bounds.

But 75% of America will tune them out because we're tired of their lies and hypocrisy.

I'm liking the shining of a few flickers of light, myself.

*knocks on wood here*

Bush and his hapless band of twits have screwed this nation up so bad that the GOP will be in the minority for a few good cycles...

Too bad more folks didn't wake up before November 2004.

The election reform activists that have been working all this time to build a network will NOT be caught flatfooted. We have been in their pocketbook and we KNOW where they live.
