    Aww, now my thread gets closed.

    No, because I think it will take longer than 4 years. I'd be delighted if it happens though.

              Like I said in the other poll, no, there won't be anything more that token efforts in this direction, because the republican party needs to hold the affinity in the socially conservative religious poor. If the Republicans ever give them what they want there might be a major loss of influence over this group, a large portion of whom either receive no beneift or are actually harmed by the Republican economic agenda.

                the president has no authority to "Ban Abortion" The right has been pushing for overturning Roe V Wade. In the not particularly like event of that happening, abortion law would be up to the states, and in most the legislatures would keep it legal. Very bad luck for the poor woman in Louisiana who doesnt have the money or time for a trip to Florida or Illinois (though maybe NARAL could offer subsidies?) but not much impact on everyone else.

                  LotM: Incase you didn't know those judges aren't getting any younger, and one is about to fall over, in which case it will be Bush to put someone on that bench... and, Roe vs. Wade was only decided by 1 vote, so it's could lie in Bush's hands quite easily, and most likely.

                    There's always the traditional way...
                    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                        Are we harmed by such an agenda? I would think that culturally, Bush is very much closer to these social conservatives, than the Democrats are.

                        Even if abortion gets banned, they will still have much more of an affinity for Bush.

                        Secondly, you look at the Democrats. How can they, by any stretch of the word, be considered 'populist?' They are the party of Hollywood, of the liberal intelligentsia, of the elite.

                              The right doubts it will happen, while the left fears it will.
