I think this a good example of how the dems know little, think less, and then have the gall to nominate a traitor while we have this little problem with terrorism. Dumb as a rock!

Clueless seems to be a philosophy among them these days...

They just plain can't get past the belief that religion is a mental illness to be cured by patient therapy. That people would actually base important decisions on religion seems insane to them.

Yeah, but I wouldn't want them any other way.

Sounds like Jimmuh Carter blaming America for its "crisis of confidence"

I'm writing this on tenterhooks on Tuesday, without knowing the election results. But whether John Kerry's supporters are now celebrating or seeking asylum abroad

John Kerry's supporters need to seriously consider the possibility of asylums, whether here or abroad. n :)

More of that "What's the matter with Kansas" nonsense. As long as liberal elite buy into their neo-communist belief that all politics are about class warfare and that religion is just a tool that the borgeous use to opiate the masses, they are doomed to failure.

I have wanted to put this out for a while and this seems the perfect place. I, making significantly less than the median income, got money back in the tax cuts. (I think John Kerry's haircut costs more than my rent).

Obe thing that was eliminated in 2001 was considering graduate school benefits from employers as taxable income. Because of this, I was able to afford getting a master's degree, which, in turn allowed me to earn a higher income.

I am closer to the median income now, however, nowhere near the top two percent and I benfited GREATLY. I am sick of them saying only the rich benefited, because it just isn't true.

Another failure to recognize a clear fact - most people care more about their values than their value.

Hmmm. I agree. The people in the heartland are too principled and moral to allow their votes to bought by what these nitwits think are in our best economic interests.

Man, they just don't get it.

It's about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY on every issue.

All the government programs in the world won't make people's individuals lives better.

We believe in people much more than they do. That's why we won.

The New York Times and its typical writers like Kristof are every bit the equivalent of the opponents of Galileo who clung to their belief that the Earth was the center of the universe.

They have built their lives around, and vested their emotions, in a set of ideas that are utterly and absolutely false. If they ever faced up to the truth, they would crumble into dust like the Nazis in the final scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

As the Left begins its navel-gazing, it is interesting to note that they will not be able to change their old ways of thinking. Their only questions will be: How can we "buy" Red State votes? Totally clueless.

The idea that people vote their economic class is a presumption of those with a Marxist mindset.

Whenever things don't fit the presumption, they still don't question the presumption, but only wonder why people aren't cooperating.

They also don't explain why the "super-rich" (Soros, Gates, Hollywood left, etc.) vote "poor."

Kristof never fails to amaze me. He lives in a different country than we do. He never will get it. Needs to move to France with the rest of his ilk.
