Cfbleachers and others – you’re of course correct that the GOP is weak and rather rudderless at the time, but don’t make the very human mistake of greatly overestimating your enemies. See the biblical story of Joshua and Caleb for the first recorded instance of this – Joshua and Caleb had faith, and said “we can whip ‘em!” but the others felt that “there were giants in the land, and we were like grasshoppers in their sight.” The price of that failure of will and faith was 40 more years in the wilderness – a good lesson to keep in mind.

Maybe the GOP *is* being led by Harpo Marx, but even so, the Democrats are being led by Zeppo. (same thing but a lot more glib) You think that they got to this point by actually having any understanding as to what they were doing? HA!!!

We are fighting morons, fools, and delusional schizophrenics with delusions of grandeur here, but nothing more! They CAN be defeated!!!

Also, it’s not a *bad* thing that the GOP got cleaned out and there aren’t a lot of old established names – Denny Hastert and his crowd were some of the most clueless clowns I have ever seen in politics. It hurts just after all the deadwood’s been gathered up and burned, but it’s a Good Thing for it to have happened.

My hopes will be based not on the past, but on the Class of 2010. Out with ALL of the old, on both sides – in with the New!

And in the meantime lift up your hearts, be of good cheer, and sing!!!
