Reply #9: DUers don't want to hear this, and I will surely get flamed for it, but he's absolutely correct [View All]

Don't get me wrong, no amount of Bushie jackboots at 3 a.m. could convince me not to vote for the Dem in 2008, nor convince me to vote for a SINGLE Republic candidate, as that is Feeding the Beast That Is Destroying Us.

But your neighbor is correct, 100%, and the corollary thought you had haunts me, as well, and only reinforced by the Democratic "performance" since January.

In terms of attacting Independents and honest Republicans to stay home or even vote Democratic, it is DEVASTATING.

In terms of the reality situation and the question: What if the Democrats get elected majoritites in Congress and NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL changes? the adjective, DEVASTATING, may be too lukewarm to describe the damage done..

That's my take on it. We Dems don't want to hear it, but it is the cold, hard TRUTH.

Now donning flame-proof suit...
