OT Stolen from Rec.Backcountry

From: Ken Fortenberry

You got that right. And why should they ?

Because if you guys don't recover from 2004, (hell some of you haven't got past
2000 yet), and come up with a viable candidate for 2008, you'll be doomed to
yet another four years of handwringing and whining.

Time for someone on the left to suck it up, strap on a set of balls and oust
the Clintonistas and start with a clean sheet of paper. Believe it or not, I'd
like to see a Democrat that I'd consider giving my vote in 2008.

What kind of La La Land do you live in anyway where the 48% of
the people who feel screwed, ****ed and betrayed by their own
goddamn countrymen are now supposed to act like nothing ever
happened ? Besides being stupid, that would be downright
unpatriotic !

A kind of La-La land where 51% of the people were rational, and felt Kerry was
so bad that they went with Bush, who was clearly vulnerable.

So get used to it. There will be protests at the inauguration,
there will be calls for impeachment, there will be hell-raising
from sea to shining sea and some of it will appear here in your
favorite fishing group.

And you can get used to losing governors and seats in congress, as well as
presidential elections, as long as your party shares your views. The protests
and calls for impeachment will only drive the majority of voters away from the
Democrats.

Well, a candidate who can garner 48% of the vote is "viable"
according to my dictionary and we're *all* doomed, but only
some of us are aware enough to realize it.

Make up your mind, do you want to consider someone on the
left or a Democrat ? Hint: There is no "viable" left in
American politics.

Yeah, the American electorate is hopelessly stupid and too
easily manipulated into voting against their own best interests.
I don't see any silver linings in the clouds gathering over the
future of our republic. That doesn't mean I'm going to abdicate
my right to bitch about it though.
