What this Country is Looking at now and How I Feel About It.

I'm going to be very honest with you. This is bad. not "i don't like bush" bad, but bad for the country and certainly bad for Democrats. Bush has taken a divided America and made those divisions deeper and perhaps, by the end of this new term, so deep i will not see it mend in my lifetime. The idea is to have a base, who cares if its not over 45%, that is so hardcore "with you" they will never change, no matter what happens or how bad it is.

Int this i'm not talking about Bush just being a bad president, though i belive this. its about creating a base that will gleefully gobble up whatever you put in front of them. He's mad the Red states Red-er and its going to be a hell of a time to get things back.

I believe most people do not realize just how bad this election was for democrats. Nationally, this may be the worst election for us in the last 3-4 generations. Not necessarily from the win/lose standpoint, but rather from how difficult it will be to succeed from here. I believe the GOP will control congress and the Senate for at least a full generation (Starting from the 1994 take over). We’re about to enter an era like we had before FDR (exceptions of Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt noted) where the GOP kicked out the trust busters and ran the country for (decades?) Like an open cash register for business and the last of the "robber barons".

In my (expert or not) opinion, this is the beginning of darkest days the Democratic Party has seen in the last 100 years.
