You are right that the party isn't "so different" than the party in 2004. The only real difference is that the 2004 party pretended to care about moderates (for electoral purposes), whereas this party doesn't pretend to care at all. Frankly, I like this version much more. It ensures they won't take back any control anytime in the near future. |

Who knows. Depends on who you talk to. I thought we were talking about the Republicans. But none of the things on your list are the first things Libertarians would go after. But no worries, there are no libertarians in the GOP anymore. They've been pretty much cleansed in this purification movement.

I'm not too worried about the change in power ... the pendulum always swings, and the Democrats are thankfully a self-correcting group. They dig their own grave about as fast as Republicans do.

Democrats road a tidal wave in to power by not being George Bush. Their public face is a gifted speaker. They are getting a pass from most media not named Fox (who is not trusted as being fair and balanced).
The message of the election was change, change, change. Now we are getting change. It may have been a good idea to really think about the changes that were going to happen. It is certainly a change to leave the frying pan for the warmth of the fire. |

Dang, Team Bush screwed things up worse than anybody else had imagined! Unemployment's been worse than even the Obama team predicted!
