If they are so depressed now, imagine their condition when the Social Security system is fixed, when taxes are cut, when conservative judges are appointed, when Iraq is free, when the tax codes are changed, when a Defense of Marriage Amendment is passed, when the DOW hits 11,000, when an energy bill is passed that includes drilling for oil in ANWR, and when a Republican is elected to the White House in 2008. Worse yet, how are they going to react if Roe v. Wade is overturned, prayer is brought back to school, and the Bible is once again accepted in the public’s eye?
It would seem liberals have alot to rejoice about:
1. The Republicans are asking for the debt ceiling to be raised to 850 billion.
2. The Republicans are working with Vincente Fox to make illegal immigration more legitimate.
3. The Republicans are trying (it may have passed as a rider by now) to eliminate a requirement that all imported food be labelled with a country of origin.
Now conservaitives such as Micheal Savage, Bill O'Reilly, and myself may not be happy about these things but liberals and Republicans certainly are/ should be.
Micheal Savage in particular is frequently ripping Bush and one of the best lines was "In the 90's Republicans got everyone worked up about the 'tax and spend Democrats' but now we have Bush and the "borrow and spend Republicans'. Leaving an enormous debt for our children to pay off is not something a fiscal conservative would do."
Remember a Republican is not really a conservative.
Democrats and Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives, were all stuck with the same shit. There's no one to blame other than the 52% who voted to give the chimp four more years.
Well,you have about 210,000,000 people in this country who are eligible to vote.
59,000,000 voted for Bush.
Bush supporters talk of a "mandate".
29% of the people is not a mandate.
Of course 28% voting for Kerry should tell you something as well.
Basically 40% of the folks in this country feel they are not capable of being
represented by the present two parties in power.
Room for a third party?
How about a fiscally conservative party that believes in a smaller Federal government
and greater state rights with less Federal spending and fewer taxes
but believes also in a secular government
and has strong Libertarian attitude toward issues of individual freedoms?
(The "fewer taxes" is the only Republican part of that platform
conversely the "secular government" is the only Liberal portion)
I'll take that bet. A problem with all political parties is they have to appease the masses to get the votes. The Libertarian party or any third party would become bastardized by the time they carried any political clout.
I've moved on!
