They make no more sense when they are jubilant than they do when they are wallowing in misery.

[Reaganesque]

Never expect Liberals to be gracious winners or losers. They are, as far as I can tell, absolutely incapable of classy behavior.

I think reality is going to take the initiative and divorces itself from this author.

The Nation's editorial is written be an idiot. The folks so much want us to make the same mistakes as Urabia!

weak and directionless.

economic issues vital to ordinary people--trade, declining wages, the destruction of the middle class, corporate greed.

Trade????? I see middle class dead bodies all over the place?? Declining wages? Put the crack pipe down.

Where's the Barf Alert?

[Jedidah]

Garbage.

Pendulums swing, as we saw this week.

This is a golden opportunity. Let the circus begin so that voters are ready for normalcy come 2008, which is a much more important election than this one was.

[goldstategop]

The Nation is saying Americans want socialism? Apart from Bernie Sanders, why haven't we seen ANY Democrat advocate it openly? What do they have to hide?

the right-wing economic agenda that has reigned for a generation and produced so many great injuries to society and the general well-being

Nice statement, but awfully short on any sort of supporting evidence. Last time I looked, unemployment was at an historic low, the stock market at a record high, along with home ownership, etc., etc. What exactly is so bad about the "right-wing" (read "capitalist") economic agenda?

Hard to believe that the voters turned the country over to the liberal clowns who can actually say things like this with a straight face.

On the bright side, though, Rutgers won last night!

President Bush still has a veto pin, I hope he uses it.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

For once the cliche actually applies: it's all Bush's fault.

[JFC]

I support President George W Bush, now more than ever. He is doing the right things by reaching across the isle. He has no other choice. This is what the majority voted for and this is what being a leader is all about. He will have to do what it takes to continue to move things along for the good of the country.

Prayers for our troops, our country, and most of all our President!

I can sum up the next two years in one word:

Subpoena.

[chilepepper]

if Iraq goes badly, the Dems will be blamed for it - pinning it on Bush (as hard as they try) won't work...

[dirtboy]

This year, unlike in previous elections, many Democrats ran on the economic issues vital to ordinary people--trade, declining wages, the destruction of the middle class, corporate greed. Led by Senator-elect Sherrod Brown of Ohio, these Democrats will be a new force in Washington--committed to pushing real solutions instead of stale palliatives.

The left seems to forget that Bush still sits between them and liberal legislative nirvana for the next two years - and I have a feeling the cobwebs will be coming off the veto pen during that time.

[Anti-Bubba182]

The Nation Magazine may enjoy Bush's discomfort, but they should realize they have nothing to do with it. If anything the shrill bastards helped Bush.

There are no memogate points in their history.

[Dead Corpse]

(sarc) Yeah... I'l never vote for Bush again...(/sarc)

This election had little to do with Democrats. They were almost incidental to the whole thing.

If we elect conservatives, we expect them to ACT like conservatives.

produced so many great injuries to society and the general well-being.

People actually believe this. Nothing convinces me more that our public schools have absolutely failed as educational institutions than the ability of jack@$$'s like this to look at the last 23 years of prosperity and talk seriously about injuries to society. Name one. Or perhaps they'd like to go back to the well-run, efficient, equality of the Carter socialist agenda. Funny how the double digit inflation, double digit unemployment, total lack of respect for America (although admittedly we were better 'liked' during the carter years) of the last purely democrat administration closely resembled the European socialist ideal of today.
