Elections have consequences.
Democrats were willing to do and say anything to win. Democrats relentlessly portrayed Bush as a dunce, a liar, a war-monger, a war criminal. The Republicans were painted as corrupt, out of touch, in bed with the rich, and sexual deviants and prudes at the same time.
They won. That’s how they won. How they won doesn’t matter, they are going to execute their agenda now.
The GOP were so pathetic it is hard to know whether to care about them regaining power or not.
“I won” may be the final words anyone says to the feckless GOP, it explains in a nutshell the powerless position they are in, and their own irrelevance.
If I did want the GOP to win again (why? so we could nominate another Amnesty supporting fool like McCain??) I would advise them to go into opposition now. The job is not to compromise, meet with Barrack or anything else.
It is to make use the exact same tactics on the Donks they just used on you.
The first three unlimited cage fighting matches held in the modern era were all won by a trim 6 foot 1 inch jui-jitsu fighter from Brazil. He defeated boxers, wrestlers, kung-fu fighters, tae kwan do masters, one and all. By match four all of the martial artists from other disciplines had started studying jui-jitsu. They wanted to win.
The GOP appears willing to continue to be beaten savagely rather than change their tactics. They also appear willing to screw their supporters when given the opportunity.
It’s gonna be a long, long four years. We might all enjoy it more if we realize that the GOP need to beaten a lot more before they wake up and realize, despite what their high school coach told them, boxing is *NOT* the ultimate fighting art. To beat Brazilians you have to learn to grapple.
To beat Democrats you have to learn to throw mud, demonize, use procedural tricks, and pound single stupid ideas into the minds of the hopelessly TV addicted American Idol audience. “Bush Lied, People Died” “The Culture of Corruption”.
The sooner we start the better. Otherwise, expect to hear “I Won” from that arrogant Kenyan as often as the assembled martial arts practitioners hear it from Royce Gracie in the 1980s.
