No, No, No !! I don't want them to "get over it" too soon. All the pain and suffering they inflicted on our President and his supporters, LET THEM SUFFER AWHILE.

find it amazing that the dems were so shocked by the results. As it turned out, with the exception of ARG (a dem pollster) and Zogby (need I say more) the pre-election polls turned out to be pretty accurate.

Amidst all the hand-wringing about the exit polls and about the Karl Rove strategery this point seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle. The pre-election polls nailed the result, multiple polls, multiple polling organizations, multiple states, multiple points in time.

Another point that is worth thinking about is this. How did the kerry organization react to a piece of data (in the midst of a battle) that turned to be wrong? How did the Bush administration react to the same piece of data? Kerry's organization started writing victory speeches and deciding how to work on their transition. The Bush organization put the data in a larger context, saw that it was flawed, and stayed the same course they were on.

OK, so what does that tell you about the temperament and maturity of the respective organizations? What does that tell you about who you would want managing a crisis confronting the nation? (As if we already didn't know that!)

“It’s desperately sad and disheartening,” Brinster said. “In New York, I think we’re more progressive in working toward a world that accepts diversity in all senses of the word, and it’s depressing to realize the rest of country is not with us in that.”

Ah yess the party of tolerance...

Kerry was never a head in the polls. Never.
It was no surprise.

It is in fact THEY who ware the bigoted and intolerant. They do not tolerate Christians, Evangelicals, Catholics,..

The economy will be helped for the next 4 years because all the bush-hating libs will be writing more books and producing more films than ever. And, if I may do so, I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank George Soros, Michael Moore, Moveon.org and all the Hollyweird crowd and Dim 527s for the 100+ million dollars they poured into our economy and GOT NOTHING FOR IT!!! Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaah !!!

“It’s been a very strange two days,” said Bill Dobbs, a spokesman for United for Peace and Justice, which organized the largest anti-Iraq war rally on the eve of the Republican convention in New York in August.
I'm so sick of the scumbag, anti-American loonies I could vomit.
If you're not with us, you're against us!

Hey dim-o-RATS --- Enough already! --- STFU!

Free Republic's new airline now has post election day specials to Canada for the next 60 days.

Truth to tell, I can remember way back in '96 when I stumbled around for a couple of days in utter amazement that Clinton had been reelected.

Granted, Dole had run a horrible campaign and Perot had just made things worse, but I still couldn't believe that all of Bubba's scandals, and there had been quite a few by that time, hadn't made him utterly unelectable.

I imagine that this, at least partially, is what makes my schadenfraude so rich and satisfying.

It took a bit longer than I had expected, but the country has decisively rejected Clintonism in it's entirety. Oh well, better late than never.

Suck on it DemonCRAPS!!!

Zell Miller and his fellow old time democrats can rescue what's left of the party after the rat haters of America go to Canada, Mexico, France, Syria, or Iran.

[hgro]

Poor babies. Maybe they can get the crooked trial lawyers and the corrupt national labor union officials to provide crying towels.

[paul51]

Good Grief! Have these navel gazers NEVER suffered ANY loss or disappointment in their LIVES?

No. They were taught it was bad for their self esteem

[Vision Thing]

Goodness, why don't they just get over it already.

Because they don't want to MoveOn.org.

It's been going on since Nov. 3. They're convinced they have concrete evidence of voter fraud, yet none of them have ever posted one single bit of evidence. The video they linked to was absolutely hilarious. It was supposed to be a video of voter intimidation at a mostly black precinct in Ohio. What was the intimidation? Two terrified white guys who weighed about 140 lbs a piece with cell phones. At no time on the video did either of these guys even attempt to talk to anyone. They stood around writing something on a clipboard and talking on their cell phones. It was laughable. And this video was supposed to be proof of GOP voter intimidation. They're out of their minds over there, but I have to admit it's very entertaining.

They're basing most of their hopes on the early exit polling. They feel that proves that Kerry really won and that Rove had the fix in. Even CNN has said when they saw the early polling numbers they scratched their heads and refused to report them because they obviously weren't right. I mean they had Kerry winning South Carolina for God's sake. Are you kidding me?

I felt the same way, but took a glimmer of satisfaction that he never got greater than 50%. Also, one has to consider that FR was just getting going; Rush was around, but he was no match for the pro-Willy MSM all by himself.

[tanknetter]

Has there been any sort of public statement yet from the "Jersey Girls"? After all the effort they went through to "get" Bush, I'm really interested to see what their take on the election results are.
