appolose - Don't worry, things won't be as bad as the doomsayers think they will.
Take it from someone that is *litterally* worried about family members dying of heart attacks due to the election, things won't be as bad as some worry.
As much as this is (what I believe) the worst possible outcome for conservative values and smaller government, the new government will be walking a tight rope.
I've been telling everyone this: We have 2 options for the new Obama government:
1) They actually fix things and America gets better. They do this by bridging the gap(s), and actually do *heal the nation*. Left-leaning government ends up going moderate, everyone wins.
2) Obama does what we all fear, and screws up the country. In 2 years, we'll have a new senate, and voters can easily make Obama's Democratic government pay, and have a moderate/right senate. This would give BHO a lame duck congress/senate. 4 years he's out of office.
So either way, it won't be as bad. We survived under Clinton (albeit with a Republican congress/senate), but as much as we can fearmonger, America has survived for 200+ years, and will continue to do such. Even if I hate European socialistic politics, they at least work somewhat, and it's still a livable country.
It's like Mike Huckabee said in the Regent University debate "It won't be the end of the world. It's just going to recover a lot more slowly than if McCain was president".
Huckabee/Palin 2012 :)
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
