If anything, the Democrat establishment is all that and more. If a Republican wins in 2008, they will continue to bitch, moan, and badmouth. If a Democrat wins in 2008, they will gloat and take revenge for imaginary offenses. Either way, the Democrats will continue to grow more foul, more desperate, more vindictive, until their utterly repugnant cloud of negativity is found repulsive by Americans. And, then, even the ordinary folk will see the Democrats for the jackasses that they are.

I can has Irony? Here's the problem. (voting)Americans are divided almost 50/50 liberal and conservative. By picking certain hot button issues(abortion, gay marriage etc...) each party has managed to carve out blocks of fanatics that will basically believe anything bad about the other party.

You're quite right, if the republican party wins the next presidential election liberals will whine. If *they* win there will be a reckoning.

But here's the rub. We will do *exactly the same thing*. The very mention of the "Cl" word sends FReepers into a frothing rage. There are certainly good reasons for this, but after a certain point the hatred becomes irrational.

“We will do *exactly the same thing*.”

You’re right of course. In case the unthinkable happens, a little self awareness on this issue will definitely be called for.
