Reply #51: It's not "over" - we weren't "destroyed"

Bush won by the narrowest margin of any incumbent. Kerry won the second most popular votes of any presidential candidate.

Dynamics shift, cultural moods shift - the middle is fickle.

For the pugs, the center will not hold. It never does. That's just the way it goes.

We will win in the end. We always do. We won against the robber barons. We won the civil rights movement. The pugs have to at least make nice sounds about the environment cuz they know most Americans want environmental protections.

We will win on the gay marriage issue. Civil unions are coming. Even Cheney wants them. Once that happens full marriage is on its way.

The pendulum shifts, but the base upon which it rests is always moving in our direction.

Think about that.

This is why the right wing base always feels besieged. This is why even when they control everything they are nervous. They always feel the hot breath of change on the back of their necks. It makes them paranoid It ultimately brings them down.

And ultimately this is why they are vicious, hollow people. They know their victory will be short. The only succor they really get from this 'victory' is spite, which is what they are, like vultures, feeding on now right now. How does it taste, heh? Bitter?
