You know, I'm starting to feel energized again.

It's weird, suddenly I feel like this "election" is the best thing could happened to us lefty types. We did a great job organizing the crowd after the first FRAUD (four) years but I've got a feeling it's going to just get better in the next FRAUD (four). Rightards no longer have anyone to blame but themselves and don't even waste everyone's time with any of that "it's Clinton fault" bullshit. Since the 2002 midterm elections, anything that has fucked up in this country (Planet!) is on the their hands - not ours!!!!! :mad:

We're going to pull through this folks - and in a BIG way. :headbang::grouphug::yourock:

1. I didn't want Bush to win, but I think our country needs to be fucked

and hard, (maybe in the ass) to wake up! I thought it happened and it's going to happen times ten I feel. That will get us more pissed off, so pissed off that people start looking harder at the Democrats and maybe we will start supporting Democrats as opposed to being pissed off at Republicans!

2. I feel a lot better than I did 12 hours ago

Look, most second term presidents go through all kinds of problems. We all know the drill. Nixon, Johnson, Reagan, Clinton, they all had major scandals or problems to deal with. He will fuck it up royally and we all know that.

What concerns me is I see nobody on our bench who might make a candidate we can live with and still win in 2008. Barack Obama will be too young. Hillary isn't going to get it done. It's going to probably be somebody none of us expect now, a governor somewhere probably. I just dontk now.

3. as in personal life...sometimes you have to hit rock bottom

before you are willing to change...

5. I'm afraid if they thought they had hit rock bottom they would chart

a new course but unfortunately the course will be the same.

4. Our party is more energized than ever...

...remember that Karl Rove began Campaign 2004 immediately after 2000, and we MUST do the same. 2006 is right around the corner, we need organization down to every precinct.

And we need to get out to the country, the brush, the sticks, the boonies. From Nome, Alaska to Key West, Florida - we need to start now.

6. Yeah

About 18 hours ago I felt really down. Now, its go time. I am one energized Democrat and I think that the fight to take America back begins tonight!

7. Me too!

I felt awful yesterday and this morning but I am starting to feel surprisingly better already. I don't know why, but I do. I will not bend for them, ever.

8. BBV

I spent all day working to get the Black Boxes removed from my county. It's like I told them: "I don't ever want to vote on those damn machines again."

Instead of sitting around feeling awful, I took it to City Hall! Damn it felt good.

9. I agree. And I still look for a potential schism in the gop

that we as dems can take advantage of.

The fact that bush won this election only put a fresh coat of paint over a cracking foundation. The moderate republicans and the paleo-cons weren't really thrilled with their candidate, but they did have a candidate they could close ranks around. What will happen in a few years when they have to come up with a new torchbearer? Big names like John McCain and Rudy Giulliani are far too liberal on social issues to satisfy the right-wing base. Anyone in the neo-con camp will be abhorrent to moderate republicans like McCain, who have been swallowing bile for years now, as well as those more interested in civil liberties. The base of the party seems to be in the religious right, but I still don't see ralph reed as a viable candidate.

Thinking about it now, I'm very glad that bush picked Cheney as his VP. If he had someone to groom as a natural replacement for the next four years, it might be easier for them to keep their house in order.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

10. Me too! There was a post right before the election

suggesting that losing would actually be good for the Dems, because 4 more years of Bush would cause the GOP to crack and divide and the Dem party to unite like never before.

The theory was that if we had won, WE would be the party in charge of this horribly polarized country, and the GOP would blame us for all the fallout from Chimp's mistakes and take over the WH in 2008 for a long long ride.

Of course I scoffed at the time, but now it provides a bit of comfort. :)
