With all that, AND all the clear evidence of eight years of
criminally irresponsible mismanagement by Republicans, if enough
people still vote for McCain and Palin to elect them, then those
people (and the country, frankly) will get exactly what they deserve.

Yes, the lower and middle classes will continue to decline while
the rich get richer. Yes, the country's standing in the world
will continue to sink, and its security continue to erode. But
really, folks will have asked for it. They will practically have
begged for it, willingly, fervently..... more of the same,
cynically packaged as "hockey moms" & "reform" & "shaking up
Washington".

OK. *It will be tragic, sure, but in no way unjust.

Not unjust. The Tyranny of the masses.

Or as someone else once , people get the government they deserve.
