Reply #73: I think that we, as Democrats, should pause... [View All]

...and offer a debt of gratitude, for all that George W. Bush has done for us. He has single-handedly done what we, as a party, have always wanted, but been unable to do: Destroy the Republican Party.

Now the hard part: We have to make sure that we don't return the favor. Lest any Democratic politicians think that Democratic (feces) doesn't stink, let me spell it out to you: No more House Banks, House Post Offices, Abscams, or sex scandals (Gay OR Straight). Let's elect competent politicians, (yes, like Obama) who will stand up for what is right, but will be willing to admit wrong when wrong, and see the other side's point of view as well. Let's be honest and open with the American people, and most important of all (and very unlike the Republicans), let's decide that it is better to accept defeat than to lie, cheat, and steal to obtain victory at all cost.

If we do this right, and bring four (or preferably eight) years of peace, prosperity, safety, honesty, and decency to the American People, we literally have a chance to drive the last nail into the coffin of the G.O.P., as we once did to the Whig party. (Yeah, it's been that long since we've been able to do that!)

If we foul it up, they'll rise from the ashes, like Reagan did six years after Nixon.
