For someone who said he was "so upset he could hardly type", you certainly managed to go on and on and on for several paragraphs.

Thanks for the chuckle: "The voters in Virginia and Ohio and Missouri and Montana are the STUPIDEST MOST RETARTED SHORT SIGHTED INBRED MORONS on the face of the stinking planet!!!!!"

When calling someone retarded, you might want to at least be able to spell the word. :)

I hope you feel better after your hissy fit.

I knew a country once. It was called "America". "Libertarians" and Republicans who didn’t vote; YOU ARE TRAITORS to that country and your so called conservative values. It’s that simple. And you just handed America to the Modern American Socialist party. Good job. Well done. GO TO H**L!!!

Eff you right back, buddy.

[DaiHuy]

A resounding yes, and to those "conservatives" who didn't vote or voted Dem, YOU HAVE THE GOVERNMENT YOU WANT AND DESERVE!

[jsmaineconservative]

I know everyone is upset today but all is not lost. We've 49 GOP senators, so we have filibuster power. And the President has the veto and the liberals don't have 67% of the congress. Let's get on the President and the GOP to start acting like conservatives. If we do this we'll be on the road to victory in 2008. Both at home and abroad.

Looking at your home page, don't you believe that God is in control, He WILL work all things to His purpose.

Okay that long rant is out of my system now, but I had to get it out. That's what I think of the election, and those who caused it.

The sky is falling... :)

BOOKMARKED AND BUMPED!

[DesScorp]

I say it's time for purge of the Libertarian nutjobs and "dissident" conservatives here that were cheering for a GOP loss.

[CSM]

Good rant, mirroring much of my own thoughts.

[William Terrell]

You're prabably not old enough to remember America. It's been gone a long time, and only now is the mask slipping enough to reveal what it has hidden for many decades.

[ConservativeGadfly]

Not unexpected, frankly. Many of us were out there screaming at the top of our lungs about running on an issue that united all Republicans -- judicial nominations. Worked quite well in 2002 and 2004 and for whatever reason, it was abandoned in 2006, on the verge of what could be the most
important nomination to the SCOTUS in our lifetimes. Foolish.

Spending like drunken sailors certainly didn't help and further abandonment of conservative principles added fuel to the disenchantment of economic and social conservatives alike. Face it, my conservative brethren -- we were ALL
disappointed and frustrated at the complete lack of motivation to champion conservative ideas despite having majorities in both houses and the Presidency.
So sure, the most diehard of us voted, but it wasn't enthusiastic.

But notice something interesting here -- ALL 8 marriage amendments passed. The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative passed. An "English Only" initiative passed. And the Democrats that won? They ran as conservative, blue dog democrats. They didn't win, folks. We lost, badly,
because they took up the conservative mantra that Republicans had abandoned.

Just like Bill Bennett said in 1996 or so...."We were so afraid of standing for something and losing that we stood for nothing and lost anyways." Boldness has its cost to be sure, but it also has its benefits -- like folks know definitively where you stand.

Unlike the wailing and gnashing of teeth that rebounded through leftists communities after the thrashings of 2000, 2002 and 2004, I actually feel more determined and dedicated than ever. I can't look into the eyes of my children and say, "all is lost, so let's give up!"

No, no, no. Lick your wounds if you must, fellow conservatives, but resist the temptation to form a circular firing squad.

We lost. It happens. Toughen up. Daylight is burning....and there is much, much work to do.

Let's roll.

While I appreciate your passion and share in your disappointment over last nights election results, I am neither shocked nor overly concerned about it, and I would NEVER refer to American Citizens who vote their conscience (or choose not to vote at all) as TRAITORS (although I will have no sympathy or tolerance for their complaints about the government they will now have)! These kinds of shifts in power are historically cyclical in nature, and it was inevitable that the Rats would reclaim control of one or both houses of congress. Considering how far the GOP leadership has allowed the party to stray from its' message of 1994 that brought it to power, it is not at all surprising.

Now is not the time for wailing and gnashing of teeth (although the urge to do so is natural and understandable)--Now is the time for serious and honest introspection about where we are as a party, how we got here, and what we have to do to demonstrate to the American people that our ideas are superior. Ideas matter--Ideas brought the Republicans to power and ideas will bring us back to power.

In the mean time, I for one am looking forward to watching the Dems fall flat on their faces again. These people are loons. Now that they are in charge, they will have to run the show. Since they didn't have a clear vision of what they were going to do when they got power, they will be forging ahead rudderless running into disaster after disaster. We have to be prepared to take advantage of this and show America that Dems simply aren't capable of governing.

So buck it up, hunker down, and let's get back to work!

[unixfox]

C'mon, cheer up!

I mean look, now that the socialists have taken over we can expect:

Lower taxes for the "Middle Class"
Jobs for everybody
REAL wage increases
Free healthcare
No more homelessness
A BOOMING economy
The war will be over!

All those words and not one lick of blame on republicans.

[lowbridge]

I recall a little anecdote about some Republican Congressman/politician complaining to Henry Hyde about the American voters electing Clinton to office in 1992. Hyde smiled and said: "Never question the wisdom of the American Voter."

2 years later we won the majorities of both houses of congress after the american people realized who they put in the White House.

So, I'm with Hyde.

[kevao]

Well this "conservative retard" has had to hold his nose while voting straight Republican for the past few election cycles (including yesterday).

Did you moderate "Republicans" really think you could abandon the conservative base without eventually losing the conservative base?

Maybe conservatives just got tired of being to the Republicna Party what African-Americans are to the Democrat Party.

[TigersEye]

I know how you feel. I posted this last night...

"One thing we all have to come to terms with is the fact that way more than half of the electorate are idiots. Truly.

We have to bring them along and to do that we have to realize that they are basically retards. You can't badger a retard into following you or preach to them with high-minded complex arguments. You need to show them your heart is good and then persuade them with basic common sense.

It's only after they come to see for themselves that "hey, dose liberals are mean and stupid" that you can start laying on the hard logic."

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

I knew a country once. It was called "America"

What was it like, this country you speak of?

[Unknown Pundit]

What a totally useless and childish rant.
