"I know this sounds crazy, but maybe you could blame the loser in the race for not getting enough votes to win. Just a thought"

You're kidding right?? You know there always has to someone to point at and blame. Just look at the constant derision put forth toward libertarians in this forum.

Narrow mindedness doesn't even begin to cover it.

Of course, we all know that the only thing a libertarian believes in is, say it with me now, "legalized drugs." Nevermind that our founding fathers would most likely more closely identify with libertarians than conservatives.

Libertarians could have made the difference if they had voted for Republicans. Republicans gave libertarians no reason to vote for them. Even the War was not enough. Bush was destined to lose it eventually because he does not fight it. He is too overcome by hearts-and-minds. The war is not about a better life for Iraqis or for anyone else. It is for survival of the West and requires the destruction of the enemy in order to kick down resurgent Islam into the malaise that characterized the last few centuries. Only that way will Islam cease for a time to be an existential threat to us. Bush cannot do the necessary job. I don't think any currently available Republican is up to it.

The Democrats will eventually get the job done. They will dismantle Defense and think they are ending the war by not participating. We will then take some horrific attacks on American cities that will show that the World Trade Center was just a little raid. The Democrats will sic the FBI on the perps and we will get hit again. After a few such attacks the Democrat president will panic and, in that panic and in exasperation that the enemy does not recognize the essential goodness of the Democrats who are dismantling the Evil American Empire, will launch the missiles. The destruction will be far greater than if we had proceeded to do the necessary job in Bush's term, in the ME and in Europe and in America and the Constitution will likely be a casualty but the job will get done.
