[B]efore {Daschle and Gephardt] get booted out of their leadership positions after tonight? This was a debacle. . . Just look at what we've really lost tonight barring some miracle that hands us the Senate. The Right Wing can openly appoint judges are psychotically conservative as they like with nobody to stop them. Are you ready for an Antonin Scalia on every federal bench? We can say good-bye to abortion rights. We can say goodbye to affirmative action. We can say goodbye to the separation of church and state. We can say goodbye to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The real impact tonight is that for the first time in decades the GOP has the power to pass through EVERY SINGLE ISSUE on its agenda. Think about that. This goes beyond privatization of Social Security or prescription drugs. Think about every horrifyingly stupid proposal you've heard the GOP make.... flag-burning amendments, national ID cards, forced school prayer, freeing the FBI and CIA from any oversight, and on and on and on. Tonight a Republican era begins. God help us."
Oh, and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
