Reply #6: Bush did win by a landslide. [View All]

He won the Presidency. He won the Senate. He won the House. He won the judiciary. He won the media. He won the ability to rig elections with impunity. He now owns the whole process. What more is there for him to have won?

The Republicans are the new PRI of America. The numbers no longer matter (they're fiction anyway). What matters is power, and they have all of it. Our role now is to point fingers, pick at nits, mock and jeer and take cheap shots. Avoid any pretence that we are part of the government, because the only part they'll give us is the role of fall guy for their failures. And wait the decades it'll take before they ossify or fractionate to the point where they're politically vulnerable again.
