unity - don't hold your breath
The word Unity is no stranger to post election feel-goodism, but there's good reason to believe that this year's chiming is as hollow as its ever been. If 'Unity' has a lawyer, it should file a defamation suit.
Dr. Dobson and several other Christian conservatives said they believed the expanded Republican majority in the Senate and the defeat of the Senate Democratic leader, Tom Daschle, put them in striking distance of both amending the constitution to ban same-sex marriage and approving the appointment of enough conservative Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade and other abortion rights cases.
CNN has a poll indicating, amongst other delusions, that most people are 'hopeful'.
I guess it's a more honest word than unity. After all, I have hope too - that this administration becomes mired and scandal and thus neutralized. But until the press starts doing its job and holding this administration accountable, I don't have much of it.
