As you all probably know by now, President Bush was reelected for the presidency a few days ago. This republican victory was paired with victories in the House, the Senate, and the Governorships. Additionally, Bush will probably get to appoint two new supreme court judges during his second term, both of which will probably be conservative. To some of you reading this, you may not see anything wrong with this picture. You're conservative, so the government being more conservative is a good thing, right?
I am not so sure, and I'm not just saying that because I am a liberal. About half of the country is liberal, and this new government does not seem to be fit to address their needs. I fear that this may disrupt the balance of things, and this country will become ever moreso one of the conservatives, by the conservatives, and for the conservatives. Even if you're conservative, I do not think this is good for our country's people. This situation will only increase partisanship and break our country apart ever further.
