| steven787 said: I think if Obama wins, you will see a lot more republicans open support him. For two reasons, 1. They care about the country, and want to put down fears and 2. they care about the party and want to shake the tarnish of the campaign off. |
Ironically, this election will probably weed out a lot of the more moderate Republicans and leave a higher percentage of extreme conservatives in Congress because they live in districts that will vote for them no matter what happens (like my hometown, if you have a D beside your name, you lose, period.)
Expect the Republican party to be an even bigger embarassment than it was before.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
