Call me crazy, but doesn't the president get sworn in for his second term in January?
I mean, the electoral college folks haven't even cast their votes yet!
Lack of knowledge is no excuse.

Honestly, I dont even know what your point is. GWB has not been confirmed for a second term, but he is our current president, and has been for the past four years. During the past four years i've seen two things:
1) some republicans felt out of place in their own party, and did not vote Bush, or became independents and in some cases democrats
2) democrats became more strongly opposed to the repubilcan party.
Now, honestly, I believe the worst is yet to come under Bush in regards to the economy, and he escaped a lot of criticism during the past four years because of 9-11, and because he was able to make excuses on a lot of the issues. As things continue to get worse, I dont believe people will continue to accept excuses, and given clear republican leadership now, only one party is to blame for what happens during the next four years. Already inflation is starting to creep in, and the dollar is continuing to drop in value. Now either way, I'm just giving my personal analysis, which you can test at a later date in the future. I'm not sure, but apparently your disagreing with my over my personal opinion, which I believe I made blatantly clear, and said hey you know what, if i'm wrong its going to be obvious. Why are you arguing with me now? If your right you should look forward to the future when its proven I'm wrong.
Before you go adding arrogant tag lines to the bottom of your posts, you might want to check and see if your actually making sense.

^ that's all fine and dandy, and you must be quite perceptive to see republicans not supporting Bush; but what matters in the U.S. govermental system, is elections, which are held by the people, and which just re-elected not only the president, but a growing number of Republican senators... AND governors. So; the test of your assumptions is the election; which just proved your assumptions wrong... and you know what they say about ASSuMptions.

I wrote a post entitled "predictions" after the U.S. elections, and said "given Bush winning, here is what I predict will happen in the future." One of the things I predicted is that republicans would continue to lose the respect of the American people. Is this so difficult to understand? Why do you keep saying "look what happened in the PAST, your prediction for the FUTURE is already proven wrong."
The test of my assumption is not the election. The test of my assumption that republicans will be less respected in the FUTURE is what happens in the FUTURE. Let's try simple math tho. If hypothetically, 80% of the country supports you, and then a few months go by and 60% of the country supports you, you could still WIN and election, and have LOST support. Coincidently, Bush once had approval ratings in the 80s, now they are in the low 50s, clearly he lost support during the past 2 years. And the trend will continue. Why are you in such a rush to prove me wrong before the FUTURE even arrives? Instead of whining before hand, you should be looking forward to me being wrong and you being right.
But given your track record vs. mine, I can see why you are frustrated. I mentioned the US dollar is declining becuz of the deficit awhile back, and well... its trading at 1.32 against the Euro today, and is predicted to drop to 1.35 or 1.40 in the near future.
I mentioned Bush was creating inflation and well, Oct. had the highest inflation rate since 1992. If i'm wrong on this one, then so be it.... its just my opinion, and your going to have to wait and see if I'm correct.

Hey: You wrote it just a few days after the elections, which show a trend, the OPPOSITE direction of what you're stating. Conclusion: You're wrong.
