Its looking grim

And Liberal is not a swear word.


Oh, I agree. You can not, however, use it to describe today's Democrat
without taking a lot of crap over it. Hence Kerry's "I don't like labels."
Today's liberal in the Dem Party is not the liberal that I witnessed in JFK or
Truman or Muskie, but rather more of a socialist. My family voted for Truman,
and I voted for JFK. Most liberals have taken God out of the equation ( I know,
I know, there is no god) and many people are now sensing that. The
Trumans/JFKs/Muskys all had God in their equations.

Oh, well. It was a good (or terrible) race and I am very glad it is over. I
went to bed last night at 10 not really shiving a git who won, knowing that
whoever it is, we will survive.

Yeah, that's hopefully true. Did I ever mention that I was friends with
Muskie's daughter Martha at UMaine?

And, you forgot to note, they took great care not to shove their God down
anyone else's throats, or use their vision of God to shape Government policies.
Unless the current trend shifts(and history dictates the pendulum swings back),
we are headed toward a Fundamentalist Christian version of Iran. Pardon me if I
hold off uniting on that abomination....

I doubt that would happen, because neither you nor I would stand for it. But,
you could do your part by stopping the hate that is so prevalent among your
liberal friends.

What happens if yet *another* Republican is elected to the WH in 2008? 2012?

the party doesn't matter, it's the ideology.
For instance, Rudy G is hardly a devout fundamentalist type....based on his
life performance he could never run on moral values the same way. Interesting
that you view my expression of opinion as hate, as it more one of abject fear.

I don't think that they'll let Giuliani be their candidate. I know
he's ahead now in opinion surveys but I think the GOP trend is
hard-a-starboard yet. The fate of one Mary Panzer comes to mind here.
She was the GOP State Senate leader here in Wisconsin. Had been a
loyal Repub all her life. But she was pro-choice. The state Republican
party took her out. Actually funneled money to her anti-abortion
challenger (a Repub Assemblyman). And she wasn't the first moderate
Republican to have that happen to her. Another one of the state GOP
legislators (Johnserud) quit. He didn't make a big stink about it but
he told some of his constituents that he left because the state GOP
was too conservative for him. Was he forced out? Well, he wouldn't go
that far. This is the second big purge that the GOP has conducted here
in Wisconsin. The first was back in the 30s and 40s when they slowly
rid themselves of the Bullmoose style progressives.

Oh well. By fiddling with the questionaire I got my entrance score at
Canadian Immigration up to 55. Just need to get 12 more points and i'm
in.
