Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts) Has everyone heard the results of the Hackett race? I'm so excited!!!

Young_Anarchist (548 posts) Paul Hackett won? That's great!

Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts) No, he lost, but he only lost by 4%! You know what this means for 2006, don't you?

Young_Anarchist (548 posts) That we're going to lose in 2006?

Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts) No, you idiot! It means we're going to win, and we're going to win big!

Regime_ChangeUSA (1,000+ posts) Man, I bet the rethugs are sh*tting bricks right now!

Kucinich4Pres (875 posts) It's like Christmas came early!

Regime_ChangeUSA (1,000+ posts) Great. Why not just say "F**k Kwanzaa and Ramadan"?

Kucinich4Pres (875 posts) Sorry. Just kind of a reflex.

Proletariat_Guy (1,000+ posts) Great news, everyone. I just did a little math, and with any luck the death toll in Iraq will overtake the number of 9/11 deaths before the '08 election.

Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts) You're in the wrong thread, man. You want "Good News From Iraq."

Proletariat_Guy (1,000+ posts) Oh, Sorry about that.

Young_Anarchist (548 posts) I don't understand. How does Hackett losing the election translate to us winning in 2006?

Regime_ChangeUSA (1,000+ posts) You know what did it? It was Hackett calling shrub a 'son of a bitch'. It's time to follow Howard Dean's lead and heat up the rhetoric, people.

Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts) Don't forget, the guy was a veteran, too. All we need to do is find more Democratic veterans who are willing to put chimp down in public and we can't lose.

Kucinich4Pres (875 posts) I haven't been this excited since Kucinich presented his plan for a 'Department of Peace'.

Positive_Femergy (994 posts) If we're only going to run veterans, how are we going to get women into office?

Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts) Who cares? The important thing is for us to win.

Positive_Femergy (994 posts) Did you just say 'who cares'? You sound like some red-state misogynist!

Regime_ChangeUSA (1,000+ posts) Come on, everyone, this is no time to fight. Let's all think nothing but positive thoughts so we can run those disgusting repukes out of town on rails.

Young_Anarchist (548 posts) Wait a minute - isn't Hackett the guy who ran that ad saying he supported the Iraq war?

Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts) Come on, dude. He didn't actually say he supported the war. If you watch closely, you'll see the ad was worded very carefully. Plus, he made sure to go on cable news shows and trash shrub and his illegal war on Islam, so he had all his bases covered.

Regime_ChangeUSA (1,000+ posts) This proves what I've been saying all along - people want real progressive candidates, not the DINOs we had running for president in 2004.

Kucinich4Pres (875 posts) Except Kucinich - he's no DINO!

Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts) Kucinich can blow me! We need a Department of Revolution, not a Department of Peace.

Young_Anarchist (548 posts) So why would Hackett have to act like a conservative if people really want a progressive candidate?

Kucinich4Pres (875 posts) How can you say that about Kucinich?

Positive_Femergy (994 posts) How can you say it's not important to have female progressives running for office?

Young_Anarchist (548 posts) I still don't understand how this guy losing means we're going to win in 2006.

Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts) WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? This thread is supposed to be a victory party celebrating of today's loss, and you're acting like a bunch of losers.

Regime_ChangeUSA (1,000+ posts) PC is right. What we should be doing is putting together some solid strategies that will help us replicate today's results in every single district.

Young_Anarchist (548 posts) You want to replicate a loss?

Progressive_Conscience (1,000+ posts) F**k this. I'm going over to Kos.

Regime_ChangeUSA (1,000+ posts) Me too. Now, those guys know how to celebrate a loss.

[JennysCool]

Ha ha! Well done!

I'm crying laughing here.

Nice attempt at satire, but not believable enough. The spelling and grammar are dead giveaways, as is the relative lack of profanity. Nonetheless I'd give it an A- for an excellent job at capturing the attitude.

Also... Young_Anarchist would have been labelled a LOUSY FREEPER TROLL about halfway through the thread.

I feel like I'm reading a Nazi communique from a "Hogan's Heroes" script.....
