[QUOTE=thirdwarning] If I’m not mistaken, I believe the “people like him” refers to the OP. If I’m reading this correctly what he’s saying is that the OP is gloating, but hasn’t offered any ideas of what should be done now that the power is in other hands. [/QUOTE] I would strongly suggest to the Democrats that they should not invade Iraq. ---

Good bit of rant there, **Aeschines**. Perhaps a bit restrained, circumspect. Might well have done similarly, but finding it hard to type intelligibly when I break out in chortling fits every few minutes. Hard to keep a convincing rage with a shit-eating grin. So thanks for picking up the slack, and amen. _Sic 'em!_ ---

Since Bush wasn’t running for anything, I don’t see how he lost anymore than Clinton did in ‘94. It wasn’t a “we hate Bush lets vote Democrat” election (well it probably was for some), I think the Republicans beat themselves by not being strong on the issues, by spending more than Democrats would if they were in power (I really have NO clue who’s the party of big or small governement anymore), and several other things. I don’t think the war in Iraq was #1 on voters’ minds though, I believe it was the Republicans being weak. I personally like the shifting of power, the Republicans had become complacent and didn’t give a crap about what their voting core wanted. Maybe this will force them to wake up. Of course, I seriously doubt that. They’ll just figure out what to say long enough to get reelected, and then go back to setting up their own retirement plans and making their buddies rich while screwing the rest of us and making the government even more bloated. I think I heard a statistic that on exit polls a HUGE portion of people (it was like 60-70%) said the Republicans were the party of big government - not exactly the platform they usually run on to get elected. Maybe the Democrats will get some crap done that the people want. I’m not sure if Nancy Pelosi is the one to lead the Democrats though, as I don’t think she speaks well for the Midwest and Southeast Democrats. OR we could all consider voting for a 3rd party, like the Libertarians…but that would just be asinine, wouldn’t it? ---
