Because America saw through their lies and rejected their crypto-socialist vision of America.
Somewhere Bela Pelosi and Tiny Tommy weep.
This guy has this part of it wrong. In his farewell address George Washington begged the country to not divide into two political parties. Washington thought that this would divide the country, causing conflicts. After this last election it is hard to disagree with him.
Michael Moore is a big, fat anti-American radical, and the gays want to shove their lifestyle in our faces constantly even though they're only 2-3% of the population. Everything's got to be about THEM, like a bunch of irresponsible spoiled brats demanding attention.
Why the Dummos lost. If they havn't figured it out by now thaey have an Intelligience Problem. I'm tired of lame excuses and articles lamenting for the democratic loss. They LOST, time to Throw them and there Liberalism in the Trash Heap of History.
Let's get our country back to the Constitutional Republic it is supposed to be and laws by Americans and FOR Americans.
I'm sick and tired of playing second fiddle to every bleeding heart liberal moan and groan. Investigaste the ACLU and the rest of the Conglomerate Liberal Welfare Network, that's constantly ripping us and our government apart. SAtart with ACLU, Ford FOundation, Rainbow Coalatikon .... Investigate their activities, tax evation, dismantle and outlaw them.
I think most of what this author posted is correct, but I'm going to repeat something I wrote in an earlier thread this evening about the "New Bigotry" in American life that is the heart of the Democrats problem. The "Old Bigotry" was prejudice against people for what they were; race, ethnicity, gender, etc. The "New Bigotry" is prejudice against people of faith, especially the Christian faith, which Democrats engaged in fighting a cultural war as their raison d'être see as the principal obstacle to their success. Either Democrats let go of the "New Bigotry" and set themselves aright, or they hang onto it and continue going down the tubes.
This is a contradiction. If the democrats were somehow able to gain some common sense and join republicans on issues, the republicans would have a monopoly and then the "The potential for abuse under single party rule is simply too great." would apply.
No, we need the dems to continuing to promote hating America, doing what they do best. That is who they are. That is showing their intolerant, ignorant, and hypocritical selves. I believe that for the republican party to remain strong is to allow the useful idiots to speak their piece shouting from the mountaintops while we protect their right to do so. They're not smart enough to protect their own rights that just might benefit them if they understood them in the first place.
Because Republicans got more electoral votes.
"The Democratic Party lost big in this election. The trend that began with the Republican Revolution continued, ensuring that Democrats will remain out of power for at least a generation. "
Am I missing something here?
We narrowly dodged a bullet this election. Kerry had tons of negatives but he was defeated by just 3 points. The left is more leftist than ever. The Main Stream News and entertainment media are more corrupt and leftist than ever. The GOP has lost the fire to really advance conservative ideology. If I see another flyer in my mailbox from the RNC that ask me to help advance "compassionate conservatism" I'll barf. Republican candidates pitch themselves by offering increased government entitlements and are just "Democrat Lite"
For almost a generation the liberals have kept public discussion about conservatism to a minimum. We've spent years sidetracked into focusing on how immoral their leaders were rather than swaying hearts and minds towards the merits of conservative governance.
The fact that a obvious liar and charlatan like Kerry came so close to winning gives me pause. We currently have a majority in the legislature but we probably won't get much accomplished in the face of determined democrat and media opposition. They could fillibuster us for four years and then successfully sell the idea that we need a democratic president and congress so that something could be accomplished. If you remember, that was some peoples reason to vote for WJC the first time around.
If Bush had won with 70% or better, I'd feel secure in a trend towards conservatism. The fact that a successful wartime president beat a slime like Kerry by only 3 points lets me know how tenuous our grip on this government really is. If they had a slightly more believable candidate than Kerry, Bush would have lost.
Here is my take on the dims -- they (pretend) to want, for example, that we make nice nice with North Korea's Kim Jong II, to keep him from doing the nuke thing. This means, paying the blackmail $$ that Kim Jong II wants. The dimocrats have done this sort of thing, especially under clinton, for years. Which I object to, since it is MY tax dollars and since it leaves the miserable inhabitants in North Korea, to continue on while my tax dollars go into Kim Jong II's Swiss bank accounts.
Should the Democrat Party splinter into multiple parties, so would the Republican Party. Both parties are a coalition. Don't think that the Libertarians and Constitutionalists would hang around if they did not feel the need to band together to fight a greater evil.
Bravo!
I sometimes wonder if it might be a tad more sinister than they don't care. If people can't read well, they are more dependent upon government; and, are more easily led/controlled.
Their candidate is a s#$% for brains, perhaps!
There is absolutely no mention about gun control. That issue alone will prevent me from ever voting for a Democrat. They want my gun and all the lies they spout off will not change that. I suspect many others are of the same opinion.
