How liberal is the party which just won? They may have jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

Despite the confusing names of the major Japanese parties, the Liberal-Democratic Party which lost is the Japanese equivalent of Republicans and the Democratic Party that won is the Japanese equivalent of the Democratic Party in the US.

“They may have jumped from the frying pan into the fire.”

Oh, heck yes. That pack of leftards extends all the way over to Japan’s communist party.

Japanese RINO equivalents just got replaced by Japanese Pelosi-Reid type democratic socialists. Give it a couple of years, then Japanese Tea Parties might arise.

How liberal doesn't matter as much as:

1. They are hostile toward America
2. They want to dump US debt
3. THEY ARE FRIENDLY TOWARD THE CHICOMS
4. They favor an Asian-currency “basket” based on the Yen and Yuan as the core

All of this, if it comes to pass, spells doom for the US dollar. If the two nations are able to ally, then we have also lost our influence and most democracy in the entire Pacific Rim.

This is really, really bad news for us.

And we have no one to blame but the socialists/communists that are running this country into the ground with their debt-based economic theory (which Bush contributed to, but which the current communists are running with full-speed).
