For Democrats, losing is much worse than for Republicans. For Democrats, the purpose of democracy is to milk government for ever more abundant benefits. Republicans in principle believe in limited government, and thus in a certain way they do even better out of power than when they must exercise it. Democrats without power suffer much more. Democrats go listless, purposeless.

This paragraph proves how out of touch the writer is. The Republcians have been spending money and running deficits like drunken sailors over the past 4 years. The Republicans are feeding the pork barrel public trough like no other Congress in history. Even a Republican Congressmen lamented that his party is spending 4 Times the pork as the previous Democratic Congress. One thing the Republicans and their allies in Big Business have learned over the past four years, is that there's no place like Uncle Sam to go for unlimited money. Big Business has warmed up to government spending in a big way. Homeland Security has been a windfall for them. "Defense" spending has been a scam used by Big Business and the Republicans for decades to drain money from the public treasury. Now, they've discovered that they can do the same in other parts of government.
