If I'm about to bleed to death, I'd rather do it on a table where I have some hope than shrug and give up. The problem with being politically homeless at the moment is that, if apathy keeps in power a party whose only goal is power ... and yet another leader that believes in his own divine right to ignore the rule of law ... we don't have the luxury of finding a third way.
I'm too cynical to think that Democratic political gains will solve anything ... but big GOP losses may give that party incentive to rejoin reality instead of trying to redefine themselves atop it, and imho we need to stop the spiral into fascism before we can find a long-term fix.
I mean ... seriously. What has happened in the last six years that we even need to ask the rule of law question? The system is damaged, and unless you see a realistic option for revolution in 2008, the triage of repudiating (and hopefully discrediting) Bush's GOP has to be the first step.
