Here is a truly salient point, and a clear indication of the fact that the Democrats and the Democratic Party Media Apparatus (ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC...)

It is easy for us to be discouraged, as pundits hail that election as a repudiation of our philosophy and even as a mandate of some kind or other. But the significance of the election was not registered by those who voted, but by those who stayed home. If there was anything like a mandate it will be found among almost two-thirds of the citizens who refused to participate.

Whoever thinks that the 2008 election signals a sudden shift to the LEFT, or that this now means that the GOP must move to the left, away from freedom, towards collectivism and gigantism, truly has not one single solitary ounce of historical perspective. The Democrats have been seeking ways to silence and censure their opposition for decades because their ideology is rooted in the FRENCH, not the American, Revolution!
