Amen.
Some liberal twit at work said instead of free healthcare, everyone should get a free college education, so they wouldnt vote for conservatives..
"Wednesday morning quarterback, anyone?"
Yep, the folks at The New Republic are freaking out. Martin Peretz, whom I normally like, wrote a piece about Kerry (it's around here somewhere) that was just plain mean.
So, if he didn't like him so much, they shouldn't have endorsed him.
When you are actually making me feel sorry for Kerry, what's up with that?
Clinton was their high-water mark. A full-fledged Mozart of BS-production. A freak talent for making nonsense sound like wisdom. Exactly what the left needed, because their entire philosophy is a creaking Rube Goldberg machine of internal contradiction, superstition, and mythology. Clinton was possible because of a unique confluence of historical trends: post-cold-war "readiness fatigue," the conversion of the mass media to an ideological mouthpiece of the left, and one individual with an extradorinary talent for lying. Oh, yeah, and Ross Perot.
Some of those factors may come along again, but others never will. For example, I don't see another Clinton-level talent among the Democrat's current crop of mediocrity. They seem to be trying mightily to anoint Barak Obama into this role, but I doubt it. Physics has been waiting a long time for another Einstein; I think the Democrats will have to wait just as long for another Clinton. And even when he (or she) finally emerges, the media will have morphed into something much more difficult to spoof. And, the constant pressure of terror and chaos from the Islamic world will keep people's instinct for self-preservation at a high level.

What amazes me in all the post election anal analysis that has gone on, is that no one has said that the reason Kerry lost is because he was a lousy candidate. It's all about the "nutso Christian right", or "not relating to the red states", but not a word about the fact that the dumos could not have chosen a worse candidate to challenge an arguably, pretty weak sitting president.
Also, we must all work diligently in the coming months to convince “progressives” that the Democratic Party has let them down. They must abandon the party. Their only recourse is to join and work for the Green Party moving forward. I may even register as a Green Party member to swell their voter registration rolls. Divide and conquer.
Begin with putting all known “progressives” in your sphere of influence on the Green Party mail list from their website. Great fun. Start inundating them with information now.
The quest for misunderstanding continues.
Sounds familiar... Kerry was the wrong candidate for the wrong country at the wrong time. Unamed liberal candidate could have done everything better and smarter and would have had a better plan.
Let's hope they never figure it out.
The lunatic lefties are mentally ill, and proof of that has been how they have reacted to the Death of Arafat a mass murdering Islamofacist.
To the lunatic lefties, he was a hero, a god and a great man. GW is a terrible man in the minds of these mentally ill.
That sums up the status of their mental illness for me.

As long as they insist on looking back, they cannot possibly go forward and heal the rift in our nation.
What the Democratic Pols and Officials and voters did reminds me of a story.
Elderly Husband and wife, out for a drive.
Wife, looking out window, starts wistfully chiding her husband about the good old days.
When they rode in the car, shoulder to shoulder, sitting right next to each other. My how she longs for that again.
Her husband looks over and says, "I'm not the one who moved."
We had 101 reasons that justified taking out Saddam's brutal dictatorship.
Everyone in the nation, both Dems and Repubs and other, all sided with President Bush after 9/11 and said, "Whatever you want, you got it. Take care of this."
And he has. But along the way, the Dems 'moved to the window'.
