I think we'll be fine. Call me crazy, but it may even be a blessing to let the DEMs play in the sandbox for a couple of years. They won't get much past the president, especially with a 50-50 or thereabouts Senate, and maybe they'll actually move away from the hard left a bit now that they have a little bit of authority. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think they are contained, and perhaps will have the incentive to behave slightly better. That's my hope anyway, for the good of the country. They dare not risk their gains on kookdom. And now the GOP has an incentive to improve their own game. So we'll see, but I'm not sweating this stuff at all. Just another day.
Well, we can always hope. Maybe the terrorists will see it that way too.
I figured there were a few other like minded freepers out there. Having said that, I am probably sweating just a bit more than you :) I certainly would have preferred another outcome, but these Democrats are going to find the going much rougher than Newt's Republicans.
Yeah, but they ARE kooks and don't really have a choice. Hardwired. They'll be emboldened to get even kookier.
