11-02-04: The Election of George W.
Bush as President of the United States Of America…
So, it happened... Now what do we do about it? More than that, what do we do with the
real threat of losing the Democratic Party as a viable voice of opposition to
the Republican controlled Executive and Legislative branches of our Federal
Government, and to increasing Republican control of our State and Local
Governments, as well? On November 2, 2004
we lost a battle, but we did not lose the war. However, we must not roll over. We must not lose track of that tremendous store of energy that
the Democrats mustered for this election.
At the same time, we also must take a hard look at why the Presidency
was lost and at why seats in both houses of Congress were lost. We must look at, explore
and understand why the vast majority of the country comes up red in the
Presidential Election every four years.
We must understand why the Republican Party always seems to control
the debate in these elections; why the Democrats are always responding to
their attacks on the character of the candidates instead of the Republicans
responding to attacks on their stance on the issues. It is only a few days
since the election, but it is not too early to start focusing on the
future. Rightfully or wrongly, there
will be a bloodbath in the Democratic Party power structure. In the gap created by this, the people
need to step in and demand change. This page has been
thrown together quickly. It will
improve, and hopefully visitors to this site will take advantage of the
message boards and the other tools here to suggest improvements. Until more content is added, please take
advantage of the Message Boards and the Blog… Join the conversation.
Add ideas. This is our country. Our voices demand to be heard. We can make it happen. 11-07-2004 AFL |
