It isn't "my party" and never has been. And they are far from "selfish ass holes," in fact they are Christians who believe in loving your enemy and turning the other cheek. This is the only explanation for their actions that makes any sense. Allying with Saudi Arabia, one of the leading sponsors of terrorism; sacrificing American lives to bring "democracy" to the Iraqis so they can vote themselves an Islamic theocracy if they so desire; pouring out billions in foreign aid to our sworn enemies; vaguely suggesting the possibility of maybe attacking Iran but never summoning the will to actually do so, even as Iran openly vows to acquire nuclear weapons and wipe Israel off the map; the list goes on and on.
Bush is one of YOUR guys. Not mine. Bush is a socialist/altruist. Barack won the Presidency because he's a more consistent version of the same thing.
I WILL be proven right in four years. But it will make zero impresssion on Democratic supporters, because they place feelings and good intentions above reality. They will support their party regardless of how much destruction it causes, because they believe socialism and pacifism are MORAL.
And why are Democrats so incensed by the word "socialism"? If they are going to seek total government power over every aspect of the economy, if they are going to advocate every principle of socialism short of the abolition of private property, they should call it what it is. Why do they find it necessary to cover it up with meaningless politico-speak?
Democrats and their supporters have no understanding of history and they can't even DEFINE most of the political terms they use. They're so accustomed to speaking in meaningless slogans to fool the masses that they've started to THINK in slogans. They no longer have the ability to comprehend abstract principles. They are morons posturing as intellectuals. At least the Bible-thumpers have the decency to ACT like morons.
I had hoped to live the rest of my life with a decent standard of living, but with the impending establishment of one-party rule, that may not happen. Alas, I am cursed with too much honesty and I'm incapable of deluding myself into believing that a man can make water run uphill or make 2+2=5, regardless of how charsimatic and well-intentioned he is. Perhaps I would be happier if I got a lobotomy so I could be like everyone else.

I see you are taking a very dim view of all this sir, and to some extent it's understandable. But some of your comments call into question whether you have been paying attention over the last eight years. I submit again, as I have before that certain aspects of how we govern have been socialist from the beginning. It's not a word that scares me one little bit. I certainly don't think we need to have it one way or the other. There DOES need to be some regulation in order for a free market to run. There just does. This should be quite clear to anyone who is concerned about business.
Please don't put Mr. Bush in "Our" column as he is simply incompetent. He did in fact surround himself with a bunch of selfish assholes. I don't care where they went to church. The evidence is in and it is overwhelmingly clear that many of the people in the executive branch are just horrible people. By any measure! The language used, the bigotry, the free ride for big business, the fear mongering half truths that made up an inept foreign policy,the castration of any dissent, the refusal to understand differing points of view- The list is endless.
I do NOT always support Democrats. I support intellectual power. I support reason. I respect temperament. I believe we have these character rich attributes now working for us {or soon will be} and I think, I HOPE you will at least allow some time to pass before you pronounce that you have it "All Figured Out".
The problem is, and always will be that no one has it all figured out. The idea is to focus on real problem solving and to employ the best minds available and willing, to take on these challenges that you seem to have, "all figured out" already.. If you believe you know so damn much, I would suggest contacting the Obama transition team at once.. If you can find a way to do this. They WILL LISTEN to what you believe. This is a new idea for us these days. Isn't it?
Which "group" Of Christians are you talking about. Carl Rove? Dick CHAIN-ME? Who?
I know plenty of Christians who believe very strongly that these people should be jailed because the committed crimes. Against you.
As Chris Matthews would say. "You Sir, are amazing."
