It's time for the Democratic Party to stop pandering to bovine, non-urban America. You don't apologize for being right--especially when you're at war.

Wouldn't it be more consistent if instead of fighting, the Democrats ran around asking "Why do they hate us?" and "What are the root causes of our defeat"?

Oh, I guess you only ask those questions when 3,000 Americans die horribly at the hands of America's enemies.

Oh I forgot. The only evil people in the world are the Americans who don't vote Democrat.

This cretin assumes that EVERY city voted for sKerry take a look at Texas(Dallas, Houstin, Austin), Iowa(Des Moines), Utah(Salt Lake City), California(Sacramento, Fresno), Etc. Etc.



I guess "Red"(We still should be the Blue states) cities don't count either

You don't apologize for being right--especially when you're at war.

Since when is making yourself vulnerable to your enemies primary weapons "right"? This guy doesn't seem to have a clue what a terrorist with a WMD considers a prime target. Or maybe he does, and doesn't want anyone around to pick up the pieces.

Let them have the cities, I'll stay in the small towns and keep my guns and trucks and SUVs and harleys, and any of those city losers get out of the city limits in their little hybrid pieces of *, they'll get ran over and shot and ran over again.

Ok, I feel better with that out of my system.

Hey, what ever happened to the old saying about republicans only being for the rich guy and democrats being for the working man and the down and out? By the map, it looks like all the rich big city fat cats are voting demonrat! and the small town working folks are voting republican.

One more thing. I just saw that new remake of "dawn of the dead". And all I got to say is this movie is obviously from the viewpoint of the big city know-nothings(as my granny used to say). Those zombie things wouldn't stand a chance in the country. You'd see them a mile away and their all on foot! I't'd be easy pickins, boy I'll tell you! Country people would be out on their 4 wheelers, in pickups, on their roofs, in deerstands, and with high powered rifles, those zombies'd be dead before they got within a 1/4 mile of a real "alive" person. Heck, the whole thing would likely turn into a great big picnic for gun totin bible thumpin, meat-n-taters eaten country folks. And another thing, they actually got to bite into your flesh to turn you into one of them. Well, workin folks wear carharts, steel toe boots, leather gloves and such. They ain't likely to be breakin skin with their teeth if they got to bite throug a pair of carhart bibs or wells lamot pigskin working gloves.

The Sierra Club has reported that Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Tennessee squander over half of their federal transportation money on building new roads rather than public transit.

Mississippi, Arkansas. Prime candidates for subways and commuter rail transit.

[MadHamish]

I've always liked P. J. O'Rourke's definition of "mass transit" as "transit not going anywhere near where you need to go".

Our new position: We'll fight to keep guns off the streets of our cities, but the more guns lying around out there in the heartland, the better.

Promise?

I thought democrats were all about the rule of the majority. So STFU and let the majority rule.
