In one night, the GOP ensured that if they win, the next 4 years would be the most partisan ever!

Cognitive dissonance - they speak team work and reaching across, but they talk us and them, isolation, and contempt.

With a Dem tsunami coming in the election in the senate and house, if by some miracle McCain gets in, NOTHING would get done.

1. Watching the RNC was like watching people in another country.

Or on another planet. I can't recognize the America they talk about. Their values seem foreign and alien to me.

Clearly, these people live literally in a different world from me and people who think like me. Switching back and forth from Fox "News" to MSNBC presents two worldviews so different I really don't see how they can possibly coexist in the same country.

The wingnuts aren't going to change and they aren't going anywhere. We aren't going to change and we aren't going anywhere either. The level of mutual disgust and hatred between the two sides rises every day. I see this in my own life - I hate bush and the Republicans right now more than I've ever hated anyone or anything in my life - and I'm a pacifist! I've never hated before, but I sure do now.

Given all of this, you don't have to have a PhD in Poli Sci to predict what is down the road for us: Civil War II. I really don't see how this can be avoided. And since the other side has guns and bloodlust and we have major, and I mean major, leafletting campaigns in response, I want out. It's a matter of life and death. Mine!

Here's a tiny sample of what we're up against:

2. Frankly, it scares me too

I see a lot of trouble coming. If McCain loses, then we're going to see a bunch more attacks like the UU church attack IMO, because there's a bunch of nuts in this country who have been brainwashed into thinking that liberals are keeping God from rewarding them. But if McCain wins, then they will get their way. I will say this though - it's not just their side that has guns, and it shouldn't be either.
