First of all it wasn't a "landslide victory".  Fifty-one percent of the 
popular vote was cast by an estimated 60% of the total eligible voters.  
This means that Bush received backing from about 31% of all elibible U.S. 
voters.  That my friend is hardly a "landslide".  
Excuse me, but the final total was 52%. In addition, Bush won by more than 5 
million in the popular vote. Republicans added 4 seats to the house and 
senate. Tom Daschle was sent packing. And of the 11 states that had it on the 
ballot, all 11 soundly rejected the idea of same sex marriage.


Secondly, I am so sick of 
every right wing zombie always falling back to the same old message of "the 
left wing media".  
You may be sick of it, but that doesn't change the facts. Unless you've been 
living in a cave, you should be aware of the stunts Dan Rather and CBS tried 
to pull. 

Almost every day during the Clinton adlministration we 
had to hear about the great "Whitewater scandal".
You should have. It was a scandal.

I actually work for one of those left wing media operations that you speak 
about.  Let me tell you this buddy, those networks are huge corporations.  
Huge corporations that benefit from administrations like Bush's.  Didn't 
Bush just sign a new tax cut for corporations?  Oh, and here's your next 
comment I'm sure.....  "Well corporations hire people, so with the new tax 
cut they will be able to hire more people".   YEA RIGHT!  
And it is this kind of logic that helped assure your party's implosion. 

And lastly some food for thought.  Take a look at a graph of the national 
deficit from the beginning of the Clinton administration (1992) through 
today.  If you were on the board of directors of a major company and took a 
look at those numbers (because numbers are the ONLY concern of the modern 
corporation), who would YOU select for your next CEO?
Well, Clinton's graph wouldn't have looked so good if he had actually gotten 
off his butt and done something about the terrorist attacks we suffered while 
HE was in office, huh? Or have you forgotten how many times we were attacked 
by terrorists while Bubba was getting Lewinskis?


"And as for"liberalism being dead politically".  I believe liberalism was 
voted FOR by 48% of those Americans who voted."

No, about half of them did. The other half voted against Bush. Wake up and 
pay attention. The survival of your party now depends on it. Because we need a 
two party system, it is important to me that *someone* on your side of the 
fence pull your head out of your butts and smell the coffee.
