We're liberal, and we're still here

This is a "purple" country. More people voted for John Kerry - the "most liberal senator in the Senate" - than voted for any previous president. This election is by no means a repudiation or rejection of liberalism! On the contrary, it is an affirmation that nearly half of the country accepts and embraces liberal values.

This second Bush term is not a new administration. It's the same administration, and there should be no honeymoon. The honeymoon was over years ago.

We need to stand resolute. We believe we are right, and nearly half of the country agrees. It is our duty and responsibility to stand firm for what we believe, and oppose as best possible the implementation of extremist Republican measures.
