In times like these we need TEAM BUILDING not back biting.
All you are doing is trying to drive people away that we need to win elections in the future! You are very self defeating in what you are doing and you need to just grow up and get a pair!
Politics in a way is like running a business you need to cater to the masses and get them to come to you not run them off for Pete's sake.
I bet the DU'ers saw your post and are laughing their asses off right now!
You pathetic yob. Change a few nouns in that post and ya got a DU classic. We all feel the zotgeist, man, but if you're gonna let it ruin your life, you need religion. Bad. Quit whinin'. One battle is not the war.
This election was just won on lies. The economy is bad. The war is going bad. Stem cells cure everything. The Snake is loose in the garden and Eve just bit the apple.
America didn't just die. America's been dead for a long time. The conservatives who didn't vote aren't the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that so many people could actually vote for the obvious socialists of the Democrat party. They don't even believe in what America was supposed to stand for. They think things like individualism, freedom, liberty, and independence are republican dirty tricks. (Yes, I'm talking about you, Detroit.)
Revelation 16:1-11
Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, "Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God."
So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and foul and evil sores came upon the men who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died that was in the sea. The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of water, and they became blood.
And I heard the angel of water say, "Just art thou in these thy judgments, thou who art and wast, O Holy One. For men have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink. It is their due!" And I heard the altar cry, "Yea, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are thy judgments!"
The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch men with fire; men were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.
The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was in darkness; men gnawed their tongues in anguish and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores, and did not repent of their deeds.
This time, they got freaked out by Iraq. Nothing more. Gay marriage lost everywhere it appeared on the ballot, including Wisconsin, where I expected that it might prevail. Same with "partner" benefits in Colorado, where I expected that people might feel comfortable voting "No" on gay marriage, but "Yes" on civil unions, domestic partnerships, call them what you want.
Frankly, when I signed on to the war with Iraq, I did not envision what took place. I really expected our President to deal with both the Shia and the Sunni resistance decisively, I certainly did not expect the number of American dead that we've sustained to go unpunished.
This was a vote against politically correct warfare, that's all it comes down to. If GWB had nuked Fallujah the minute we saw pictures of dead burnt bodies of US contractors hanging from that bridge, we'd have killed a fair number of insurgents, saved the lives of US military who had to take that city in house-to-house fighting, and he would have been forgiven by people who were initially shocked. Anyone who hates Bush for the war would not have hated him any more. Furthermore, we'd have put a mighty fear in the hearts of our opponents in Iraq, and would likely have crushed the resistance.
This was a vote against fighting a war in the fashion we fought Vietnam, and future leaders would do well to take note.
Dittos here pal. In order to punish a few, the nation will suffer.
I whole-heartedly agree.
The ones who are calling you a whiner just don't realize how serious this is at this point in history.
(And just maybe they're the Republican vote cut-and-runners you're talking about; they doth protest too much.)
The American voters are the same disloyal, feckless, spiteful, and ungrateful bastards who sent me to Vietnam, and then threw Baggies full of s*** at me when I came home. They are the same ones who say they "support the troops but oppose the war" and talk down to my son, my nieces, and my nephews who wear the uniform. They are the ones who elected the Congress that voted to cut and run in 1974, and they have now elected the next cut-and-run Congress in 2006. They have chosen to squander the lives of our children and waste their heroic sacrifice. The only thing I can say good about them is that they only sacrificed 3,000 of our children to no end instead of 52,000. This country has shown itself to be truly unworthy of its defenders. They deserve the jihadist attacks on America that will inevitably follow our withdrawal from Iraq. To those who voted yesterday: f*** you, you're on your own dealing with al-Qaeda. My family will not contribute one more drop of our blood to your defense. We will no longer do your dirty work. You've always hated us. Fine. We hate you, too.
Don't be a sore loser.
I'm another one of those conservative "retard" voters that pulled the lever "R".
This is not a complicated thing, nor is it an end of the country.
The Republicans had plenty of time to differentiate themselves from run-of-the-mill liberals, they refused to do it.
America doesn't want what the GOP was selling. They weren't selling conservatism, that much is for sure. Would a conservative platform have made a difference? We won't ever know - the GOP didn't try it. Maybe next time.
Thank you, you said it all for me
I wouldn't get so hacked off. Elections come, elections go. In just two short years, the circus will once again come to town. And we'll get yet another stab at the brass ring. If Democratic victories were synonymous with impending doom, the Republic would have come crashing down a long time ago.
As a matter of fact- I think I'll protest them by staying home in '08. I might even sign up to drive the rats to the polls, since the "conservative" protesters tell me the way to victory for conservatives is to let the rats win.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhh!!
I don't think they can even begin to realize the damage they have done to our nation. The price for this is going to be sky high.
"I’m really afraid that America might just have died with this election. '
Excellent post. Dead on right. I guess the dumbed down voters (of both parties) need to see how many more terrorist attacks will land on American soil. I guess we really don't need to save any money or enjoy what we make. But hey, it's much more important to know that your child can marry either Nancy or Michael, they have the choice that is so fashionable in the elite corridors of San Francisco.
I'd be better off quitting my high-paying job as a registered nurse and trade it in to be a cashier at Walmart. I'd make less money, pay less tax, probably get a tax cut and of course, massive free free free healthcare! I just wouldn't be able to use my professional credentials or make a higher salary. The rats will see to my every need if I just bow out of my profession and become a simple blue-collar worker. There is never going to be a need for any American to ever attain higher education or aspire to a profession, since the rats will ensure they will never get anywhere. All we earn will go to the socialist cause, free health care, free free free!
What a F------ mess. Why not just hire the World workers' party to "run things"? What embassy will Soros run? What part of our national security will Moveon.org decide to do away with? The CIA? Great! Goodbye Dept of Homeland Security. That bird won't fly, under the new neoMarxist order of America.
God help us all.
Nice rant. I agree 100%
Take a chill pill! Get a grip. I'm sorry we lost but sour grapes get you nothing.
Besides do you think God is mocked.
The fact is the USA was destined to retreat from the war on terror for a time. Europe is lost to the Islamofacists, and in the end it will be the US, England, Australia, and Isreal against the rest of the world.
Islam is antichrist, please read your bible. The son's of abraham are destined to fight for the blessing of god. Nukes will fly, soon!
The war of gog and magog is probably only months away.
For those who don't know, that is a war against Isreal, by the islamonfacist's that we sit out. Islamofacist are driven back but at great cost in blood.
Prepare yourselves and your family, for disruptions in energy and economy.
May god bless us!
Just a small point -- the name of the country is the United States of America. Technically Canadians are also "Americans," meaning they live on the continent of North America. When you start calling people retards it would be wise to try not to look like one yourself.
