Since no Democrat can possibly fix the damage from the momentous blunders of the past seven years,
why not just cede, thereby letting the 'pukes finish their hit job on America, this Republic, our Constitution, the economy, the jobs market, the stock markets, the capital markets, our standard of living, the value of the dollar, the environment, the rest of the world, and let them stew in and mire down forevermore in the huge, chaotic piles of doo-doo they have created and crammed down our collective throats? :shrug: :D

4. If it weren't for the SCOTUS I'd agree with you, but there is
likely going to be 3 retirements in the next 4 years. I don't want a leftist SCOTUS. I want a court that interprets the laws as they are written, and even makes the media report that they have no idea what the decisions will be. I HATE IT when issues are referred to the SCOTUS and everybody KNOWS they will vote in favor of the admin or big business!

6. Exactly!!!
The SCOTUS is the principle reason we need to re-claim the White House.

enablers carte blanche. A Dem might can realign SCOTUS, but what can be done to save the country, other than have the highest income people, the wealthiest, and large Corporations shoulder an equitable portion of the income taxes reasonably needed to greatly reduce junior's unsustainable deficits. But the well-do-do shouldering a fair share of the tax burden is blasphemous, unthinkable, heresy, repugnant, anathema, and verboten in our RW (i.e., fascist) society so extremely tilted to solely serve the exclusive benefit (welfare) of the most affluent and large corporations. :D

8. Oh HELL NO,
on that ceding notion, we are at a point where it might take a couple of admins to repair the damage Bu$hCo has done but it is repairable, IMO, one more RePuke Pres term and it may go beyond repair. We sure as hell don't need to be damaged beyond repair.

13. Hope you are right, but anything a Dem could get accomplished in even two terms would be
minuscule in comparison to the harm and destruction inflicted by junior's PNAC agenda on our economy, our standard of living, our constitutional form of government, the rule of law, the almost total politicization of the Federal establishment including corruption of the Department of Justice to an alarming degree, our freedom and liberty, our national psyche, the dollar, the stock markets, the capital markets, the environment, our world standing and good name, not to mention junior's invasion and occupation of Iraq and concomitant deaths, other casualties, and widespread destruction, and cost in treasury, lives, limbs, brains, those maimed, made homeless, and made a refugee or orphaned, would be view as a failure to effect the needed correction. Those who continue to support junior's vision for America, to enable or shill for it, must not give a diddly-damn imo about any of the aforementioned. :shrug:

9. because they won't fix it. Even if they could, the cowards.
They're inside the coach, clutching their bags of cash. And there's nobody in command of this stage coach. Somebody's gotta climb up on top, and slow down those panicked horses!

11. Only problem with that is . . .
we have to live in those "huge, chaotic piles of doo-doo." Though if McCain wins in November, leaving the country is going to look pretty good, even if it will be hard to do.
