And that, my friends, is how people excuse themselves from doing anything. Thank God everyone's not like this poster.

No excuses there.
It's an absolute recognition of the fact that when you're not in the majority and the majority vote will count, that your efforts are not going to be realized. You'll notice that my statement was "when public opinion shifts and it shows itself in elections". In other words, when it does shift you can't do anything about it. You may try to do something about the future, after that point in time, but there are some political analysts, in the Republican Party who say that they fear that it may put the Republicans so far down (politically speaking) that they won't recover for more than a decade or more. That's why many Republicans now are looking for a way to "get in front" of that shift that they see is coming.
What happens instead is simply a denial of reality. After denial comes anger. I expect the anger part will be happening about the time of the 2008 elections. We got a little sampling of that (i.e., the "anger" part) after the last Congressional elections. It's actually still evident from some posters and on some threads, even today. It hasn't quite dissapated yet.
It will be the same come 2008 and afterward.
