A little competition w/ the Olssen twins and Niki Hilton and what's her name. It amazes me - moral values were a deciding factor and the crap that people are watching on TV don't seem to relate.
Those people are out dusting off that tape playing device to watch the Passion of the Chirst and wondering what it takes to get that fine news channel called Fox.

The Dems have been so hesitant to call Bush out on stuff, even during the election. Without a doubt it ends your political career, but isn't it time someone stopped being a politician and just spoke out against this administration?
Yeah, you're right, never gonna happen…
Actually the Republicans already sent some of their own packing… can't recall any names though.

yeah, it was reagan. bush the elder was, in reality, very moderate (and pragmatic, more importantly) on lots of things. one of the many reasons why he wasn't re-elected was because social conservatives didn't trust him, and didn't go out and vote for him.

On abortion rights: Bush will almost certainly get to appoint several seats to the court, and with the Dems losing seats in the Senate, odds are these will be anti-Roe judges.
Roe v Wade will be likely be overturned, and most of the middle of the country will outlaw abortion.

Does anyone think that major revisions of the tax system could occur? The flat tax or national sales tax will certainly look appealing to Bushy's mulit-millionaire constituency.

but then, that's par for the course for presidents that are re-elected. . .

Tom Ridge is a good man. I, for one, will be sorry to see him go.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A25006-2004Nov4.html President Bush said today that his election victory Tuesday has given him "political capital" that he intends to spend on the major goals of his second-term agenda, including overhaul of the Social Security system and the tax code.

Very unlikely. The only thing that has been holding this Republican party together is that since Roe v. Wade the abortion issue is somewhat off the table. Right now the GOP is a coalition of the social conservatives (i.e. those who are pro-life, 'moral-values' types) and the *real* Republicans (in the Madisonian sense of the word) who are all about keeping the federal gov't out of people's business. Get rid of Roe v. Wade and the big chasm opens right back up… and believe me, the GOP know that.
