The pendulum swings whether we think it will or not.

If it's true that no Democrat in the forseeable future will be president, then it's only nominally true. If someone like McCain gets into the White House, then it'll be the same as having a Democrat.

I think that every president we have for the rest of our lives will be Republican.

I'll put that premonition up there with "Man will never fly" and "The World will end on 1/1/200".

Silly comment ... If the election were held in May, April, or early August, Kerry would have won.

If you want to make the GOP a majority party and Democrats a minority party, you've got to work to make it happen.

"The Democrats are not so much a party as a cult. I don't see them changing their devious behavior anytime soon."

There are few liberals around anymore, I find it difficult to even think of anyone who fits the definition of "liberal" these days. Instead what we have are subliberals. In that, I mean they claim to be "liberals" but, are so filled with hate they cannot even discuss issues without calling someone with an opposing opinion an idiot or a moron....

I don't know about this... the 2000 election was pretty darn close. But, hope you're right.

They don't have to change to win an election and it can happen in 2008 if the GOP is not careful. Consider:

1) Hillary Clinton runs in 2008. 40% of the country is willing to vote for her tomorrow, you know it, she knows it.

2) The GOP picks a pro-abortion candidate such as Pataki or Giuliani. 20% of the population (mostly Republican voters) will not vote for an abortion candidate. You know it and you can bet the DNC knows it. What are the odds they will be supporting such a candidate behind the scenes? What are the odds such a candidate will get the support of Big Media outright and in the open (that is until the primary season is over)?

3) A third party candidate will get double digits for the first time since Anderson.

There will always be a party in opposition to purveyors of big government, whether they get elected or not. If the Libertarian Party would drop their insane open borders and isolationist policy (no foreign entanglements, but let all the foreigners come here), they would be the choice for replacing the Democratic party.

However, don't drown in your own Kool-Aid. As long as half the country believes more government is the answer to our problems, there will always be another Democratic president.
