"Power concedes nothing without demand. It never did, it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and this will continue till they have resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress."
[Frederick Douglas]

"Whatever you do, don't give up. Because all you can do once you've given up is bitch. I've known some great bitchers in my time. With some it's a passion, with others, an art."
[Molly Ivins]

This is kind of cool. I don't think many of them will actually stay home and not vote, but so far, Americans don't really want those family values people in charge. The public tends not to notice, but when they finally do, it's like..hey, this is going too far, so the Republicans will get pushed from both sides on this. Remember, too much success is what sinks political movements. The public still averages out to moderate and when one side or the other gets the bit in their teeth, eventually the public says "Stop". Of course, sometimes it takes a while...
