Forget the values (or morals, or bigotry or whatever it is) for a day or so and write a letter to the editor pointing out that Bush's victory was not "sweeping" -- it was about 2% to 5% of a record turnout based on various estimates.
He does not not have a "mandate," especially for radical proposals such as privatizing Social Security or appointing Supreme Court justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade.
If the Rethuglicans had lost a record turnout by 2-5%, they would be screeching that the new Dem president had no mandate or legitimacy.
Tell everyone in a LTE that the 49% of us living in the reality-based world are passionate, committed and vocal, and we aren't going to sit down and shut up.
Go to it!
After thinking this over some more, this is a good theme to promote on radio call-in shows, letters to spineless Dem congresspeople and wingnut relatives who may be gloating right now.
One theme-so many uses!
