President Bush never really fought hard for a conservative agenda, and neither did the GOP as a whole, and we will suffer because of it.
The Left are true ideologues, and believe me, they will ram through their agenda.
Some of their agenda will make sense, like rewriting the bancruptcy law so the working poor hit by unpayable medical expenses can get some relief, and the absurd Indian-casino wrought bill outlawing online poker will be overturned, but everything else, from gun control to Iraq to homosexual rights to new greenhouse and CAFE standards, will just push us headlong into European-type Leftism.
Nature abhors a vacuum, and the GOP, which trumpeted but did not practice Conservative ideals, now finds itself ushered out and a new party which DOES live up to its ideals (bad though they may be) comes into power for probably the next 10 years...

Don't give up hope! I felt sick for the first 24 hours after the election, and now I'm MAD! Fired up! We can't let the bastards grind us down. There are NOT more of them than us! They're just driven, like any possessed person.
We need to get seriously fired up and if we each do whatever we can individually, and if in concert, so much the better - the tide can turn. And if not, at least we've done our best.
Never Give Up!
