Thank you, America (Guardian gloating)
The Guardian (U.K.) ^ | 11/09/06 | the editors

Posted on 11/08/2006 5:07:22 PM PST by Pokey78

For six years, latterly with the backing of both houses of a markedly conservative Republican Congress, George Bush has led an American administration that has played an unprecedentedly negative and polarising role in the world's affairs. On Tuesday, in the midterm US congressional elections, American voters rebuffed Mr Bush in spectacular style and with both instant and lasting political consequences. By large numbers and across almost every state of the union, the voters defeated Republican candidates and put the opposition Democrats back in charge of the House of Representatives for the first time in a dozen years.

Article continues When the remaining recounts and legal challenges are over, the Democrats may even have narrowly won control of the Senate too. Either way, the results change the political landscape in Washington for the final two years of this now thankfully diminished presidency. They also reassert a different and better United States that can again offer hope instead of despair to the world. Donald Rumsfeld's resignation last night was a fitting climax to the voters' verdict. Thank you, America.

*snip*

Maybe the more pragmatic Republican old guard can come to the rescue of this disastrous presidency in its most catastrophic adventure. But it has been the American voters who have at last made this possible. For that alone the entire world owes them its deep gratitude today.

Your welcome, limp wristed girly man. And, as we retreat from the world stage and take an isolationist position, by all means when the islamopignazis come calling, as they are sure to do, please dial 1-800-frog and ask for Jacques.

Next time the Euros put in a call to the Arsenal of Democracy, maybe no one will answer.

The views of the left are very distorted. They worked their propaganda across America and succeeded. Time for the Republican grassroots to get back to work.

the R's gave the store away. They spent on stupid stuff. We can argue the President's policies, but he didn't squirrel little bits o'cash to help his campaign. The R's gave up on the Contract with America.

Remember back with the big vote in the House and they would not take Shaddegg because it would be admitting too much and making too much change?

It may have helped. Too late now; time to start over.

Attention Country Club Republicans - Your Nation Needs You!

Bring your president back from the Brink of Insanity. Make sure to talk to those in your party who may not be ready to be reconstructed within the New World Order. Help us to heal the wounds, help us to make the world a kinder place for all. The World needs you. London needs you.

This is from the Guardian or Al Jazeera? Not much difference really. It also expresses the feelings of the Taliban, Al Quaeda, and Suicide bombers the world over.

Does the Guardian express the opinion of the Average man on the street? The average Brit? I sure hope not. At one time Britain was a great ally of ours, Today I am not so sure. They seem to have become Islamicised.

Oh, baloney. The America-haters didn't spring up like mushrooms the moment Bush was inaugurated - they've always hated us and they always will, regardless of who controls Congress.

I have to admit, I don't remember this. I think there was a Shadegg who was a speechwriter for Barry Goldwater but you're presumably talking about something else. Would you elaborate, or give a link?

John Shaddegg-- Here is one link

He was in the running to replace DeLay. He would have been the best candidate

Yay- after 12 years of LOSING- the guardian finally has a small skirmish they can claim as 'victory' for their terror apologizing agenda- Keep braggin Radical left in the U.K- we're just sitting back and watching with amusement as the Muslim radicals in your country slowly infiltrate you society & whip you like the PC correct dogs that you are. We know misery loves company, but don't count on the U.S joining your surrenderous yellow spined ideology anytime soon- taint nothin but a small hiccup- We'll recover- you however are on your way to bowing toward Mecca.
