Looks like Republicans have a lot of work to do and wresting control away from the Bushie/NeoCon/RightWing Theocrats can’t happen soon enough:
WASHINGTON (CNN) – The Republican Party has hit a new low.
Just 34 percent of Americans in a Gallup Poll released Thursday say they have a favorable view of the party, down 40 percent from a month ago, before the election.
What’s worse: 61 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of the Republican Party.
According to Gallup , that unfavorable rating is the highest the polling organization has recorded for the GOP since the measure was established in 1992.
The poll of national adults was conducted on November 13-16 with a three percent margin of error.
The numbers are slightly up from a CNN poll released last week that indicated a 54 percent unfavorable rating for Republicans. Only 38 percent of those polled had a favorable rating for the party.
Meanwhile, Democrats continue to bask in the glow of President-elect Barack Obama’s historic victory on November 4. The Gallup poll suggests that 55 percent of Americans hold a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party, with 39 percent saying they have an unfavorable view. Those numbers are mostly unchanged from a mid-October survey

What Barack will do...
My Bushie friend asked me what Obama will do as President. I responded:
Well, he’ll stop torturing people. He’ll stop arresting people without warrants and locking them away in secret. He’ll stop wire-tapping every phone in America without a warrant. He’ll stop using the justice department as his own political tool. He’ll stop the assault on science and not use his twisted notion of religion to explain the world and how it works. (Hint: Dinosaurs and humans did not co-exist 3000 years ago). He’ll replace name-calling with maturity.
You know this. I know education and intelligence are frowned upon within the GOP these days, but you don’t have to act stupid for us. We know you’re smarter than that, you can stop the act now. You can be smart and educated and STILL be a “REAL” American, despite what the former mayor of the meth capital of Alaska tells you.
Speaking of little Miss Unethical behavior, she went on and on about socialism while she’s the governor of a state that takes money from the oil companies and gives it directly to the citizens of her state…talk about redistribution of wealth (SOCIALIST IDEAS). Thanks to Jon Stewart for making me realize the irony of the governor of a state funded by socialism calling Obama a Socialist…pure comedy. Too bad the Honorable Governor isn’t bright enough to see the irony…after all she doesn’t even know what the Vice President does or the rights afforded by the First Amendment.

Hopeful
Like most Americans, apparently, I'm pretty happy with the election results. The long national nightmare is over. Kudos to Obama on a fantastic campaign.
The only sad part is what McCain did to himself in his seemingly endless desire to be President. We all remember the John McCain that we liked back in 2000, then he ate the shit that Karl Rove made for him in South Carolina b/c he wanted it so bad. Then during this campaign the independent minded guy we liked turned into the right wing attack dog that the Bushies won with, but America was tired of that shit.
The McCain that we loved was back in last night's concession speech, but it was too late. He changed, he got bad advice and of course his disasterous selection of the unqualified former mayor were his doom. I seriously doubt that he would have lost EVEN with the shackles of the Bush Presidency if he had ran as the guy he once was.
I hope he goes back to being true to himself.

Are McCain supporters really this stupid or are they just ignorant of what is going on in the world?
it's Clear Palin is not qualified, she doesn't even know what the Vice President's job is, nor does she understand the first amendment. But McCain supporters new cry of "Socialism" is laughable considering McCain's support of the recent bailouts pushed by our Republican president. The fact that in the past few months the Party of McCain and Bush has federalized banks and insurance companies. Talk about socialism, it's already here.
It's hard to have respect for people so woefully ill-informed, people who just through out buzz words and buy into the GOP fear machine. The fact that they blindly accept this bullshit is exactly how you end up in a fascist state. The dictators always talk about how the state will protect you from enemies seen and unseen, and the first thing they dictators do is attack the intellectuals and the liberals...just like the GOP has done for the past 8 years. They've attempted to make knowledge and learning BAD THINGS. (Ignorance is Knowledge).
I'm sick of being told I'm not a real American because I put myself throught grad school and happen to think for myself instead of listening the non-sensical rantings of the lunatic minds of the GOP.
WAKE UP AMERICA (I'm talking to you McCain supporters).
btw- I won't be surprised if the GOP steals the election with their classic voter suppression efforts in cities and outright fraud by the Diebold Republican Vote Generating machines. After the GOP stole one election, they can do it again.
