There was an opportunity to stick it to less than acceptable Republicans. It's called the Primaries. This even happened in the Alaska primary for Governor.
The international message sent by this is as follows:
That is what you voted for, those are the results that have come through, and now we are all going to have to live with the consequences. I hope that your petulant outburst at the Republicans was worth all that. Those who take a longer term view are horrified by what has just happened.

Unfortunately, you are correct in your analysis.
While none of us has a crystal ball, it's damned smart to look at all the possible consequences before we decide anything.
As to choices, I may not be thrilled with the broccoli on the menu, but I'll choose it over the pig's feet.
The Democrat agenda for our country spells corruption of the very values which have earned it the right to be called "great". They are too misguided or stupid to realize that they are truly depriving generations to come of the blessings and freedom they have enjoyed.
In effect, they work to eliminate every bit of decency that so many have spent their lives trying to uphold and pass on to future generations.
War is always hell, yet we've engaged in them in the past because we had little or no choice.
Now we're up against a truly crazy enemy, the terrorists. From their own mouths, they want to kill us, they want to take over the world. How could anyone be so blind as to think that negotiation and diplomacy will have any effect on this kind of mentality?
As to Iraq, I have reason to believe that Saddam Hussein aided terrorists, and if we pull out now, all hell will break loose.
