Even after the election, instead of seeing where they might have gone wrong, many liberals are simply saying how stupid people were for electing Bush, and predicting DOOM and GLOOM as much as the most fundamentalist Christian predicting Armageddon. And they seem to relish this, like they hope that bad things happen. Look at history, the US has gotten through one massive depression, 2 world wars, the Vietnam war and civil protesting, an energy crisis in the 1970's, and a direct terrorist attack. Why do so many think that the country will all of a sudden crumble now? If the same Democratic mindset is present in 2008, they will lose that election as well.
