Well, then, I guess all the obstructionist minority guys are willingly going to go home? Some are, just lessing than willingly.

Republican != conservative. The obstructionist Dems (who have to find a new leader now), along with great f*ckups like Specter ( who didn't deliver Penn. like he was supposed to) mean that no "pure" ideological issues will get thru.
Liberal interia for Big Government (it doesn't like to make itself smaller, no matter how much some try) has continued to roll on for the past twenty years. Maybe now we can reverse that trend a bit.
Look for more Republican government, yes, but that doesn't mean OILOILOIL, WAR, etc.
BTW, the big anti-violent games people are mostly Libs and Dems. Calling Joe Lieberman and Tipper Gore!
The Left is far more "intolerant" these days than the Right, as a whole.
There are more behavior nannies on the Left than there are on the Right, by far. From how much water is in your toliet to you can't spank your child but you can kill them pre-birth, everything goes. Except what they don't want to go. As long as you think the way they think, everything is fine. And they try at every opportunity to harness the power of government to make that so.
The government may be more Right (I like the way that sounds

) but the cultural divide is still with us. There was no cultural election or mandate. People will vote with their dollars and get what they want. Which is filth and crap, for the most part. I certainly don't abstain from as much as I should, although I have managed to still not watch any network "reality" shows.

What you can look for is all those stupid sterotypes of Republicans (Nazi Christian Taliban!11one!) to go the way of the dodo. I look forward to a day when we just disagree, as opposed to my being a stupid, backward, knuckle-dragging trogledyte for thinking consevatism is the way to go.
