damn it.

will the democratic party still exist as we know it four years from now? my guess is no. as the republican party gains uncontested power, led by bush it will become the neo-conservative party.

to combat that and to take the middle ground for electability, the democrats will become the conservative party of america.

but for now the democrats are a party without power, and president bush will not feel restricted by reelection moderation, probably leading to a highly ideological, imperialist, religious, and violent next four years.

by far the most frightening aspect of this election is that the separation of church and state is eroding in america. and this is obviously a deeper issue than simply the president -- the real problem is that the voters seem to want it that way.

i feel helpless because there is really nothing i can do.
