Dear dismayed conservatives:
I hereby make these promises to you.
We will protect your lives and livelihoods.
We will listen to and respect your beliefs.
We will never try to force you to change your religion, sexual orientation, or first language.
We will do our best to reduce the number of abortions in our country.
We will have no tolerance for corruption and cronyism, even in our own party.
ESPECIALLY in our own party.
We will never tell you that you are unpatriotic.
We will never tell you that your opinion doesn't count.
We will never waste your lives for power.
We will hold our leaders to a high ethical standard and when they succumb to lust for power, WE WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
If we forget this, please, please, please, remind us.
We need you to do this. You are America as much as we are. Let's go.
"Democrats may be a lot of things, but they certainly don't want to alienate anyone. This is for real. Why don't we agree to disagree about certain things.."
"We need to put our focus on rebuilding Iraq, putting a stranglehold on al-Qaeda, and winning this war."
Another lying marxist joins FR and posts crap.
"I WANT FREE HEALTH CARE OR THE DEMOCRATS LIED!"
Well, well maybe - Maybe you want the health care but I ..Whine....I want free every thing or or those fibbers fibbed to me....whine...
Marxist... as in communist? Boy, I wish you actually knew me. I feel so welcome here amongst people who, in real life, I'd actually get along with really well!
"I'm also a member of DU "
"Even the "hate-GOP" crowd (and I know hundreds in my own life) only want what's best for the country."

The dims have had more practice. They have been working to perfect their election stealing schemes ever since their plot for 2000, was a dud.
I read it there first, dude. Sorry.
I help less-fortunate kids improve their own reading comprehension skills.
Well, then they truly are “less-fortunate.”
Here’s a clue, Captain 99th Percentile – when somebody new to a power position says something like “We will never try to force you to change your religion, sexual orientation, or first language” they are contrasting themselves to the previous holder of power position. It is accusatory and inflammatory. (As an aside, it is also completely asinine, since it is, by definition, impossible to change somebody’s “first language.” But I'm sure that slipped by you.)
Another example of the hostile intent of this list of promises is “We will never waste your lives for power.” But you’re telling me you honestly can’t read the intended accusation in that sentence?!?
Did you compete against pecking pigeons when you finished in your 99th percentile? They couldn’t possibly have found 99 people in a hundred with more pathetic comprehension abilities than you have displayed on this thread.
Please, leave those children be.
Why don't you check the front page over at DU? It's like, the third story down. :)
"We elected a whole wave of pro-gun, anti-abortion, pro-family democrats in the west and mountain west, and I can't wait for this wave to start sweeping the democratic party in full force."
More lies from landeraepi. sign up date 11/4/06
You seem really bitter. Why don't you make some tea or something?
What else does one call an individual who signed up on FR 5 days ago to muddy the waters on Michael J. Fox's favorite issue and then shills for DU editorialists?
How about a scumbag troll?
Don't get too comfortable.
By the Numbers...
National Review ^ | November 8 | Stephen Spruiell
At a luncheon on the Hill today sponsored by FreedomWorks, Republican pollster Ed Goeas said that the losses we saw last night are average for mid-term elections, particularly mid-term elections in a time of war. He also said, “One of the things that is different from 1994, is that in 1994 when Republicans won 56 House seats, all but a handful were won by a range of 10 or more percent. Last night if you look at the election, of those 28 House seats, 22 were won by 2 percent or less — 22 of the 28. And of those, 18 were won by less than 5,000 votes, and four of those by less than a thousand votes.” Later he went over the numbers again, and concluded, “In other words you can basically go back and say that we lost control of Congress by 11 seats. You’re talking about less than 50,000 votes.”
I also want Osama Bin Ladin's head on a Spike! If they don't get him THEY LIED!
What does my signup date have to do with anything at all? I find that everyone here is terribly obsessed with this and I can't understand it. I felt it was important for us to start working together. I'm extending my hand. Will you take it, or — as you've done thus far — spit on it?
Oh no. No.
You totally misread some hostility into my loving post that wasn't there.
It was just a expression of my respect for you, intended to make you my bestest friend so we can build a better country going forward!
Obviously.
