Please Mods can we have one central Live thread ...its tough jumping from thread to thread to get results.
It's not Bush's fault the house went the other way. Blame the voters for not seeing things the way you do. Spare me and everyone else the lecture on illegal immigration being the key issue. If that were the case, there wouldn't be all this Bush in effigy burning out on these threads at this late damned hour.
If you're not drinking to forget. Start. Stay the hell off your computer with your childish nonsense.
"Seems it was the result of a majority of Americans not having the stones for war. It's like 9-11 never happened."
It happened all right, but Democrats and thier willing leftist media allies have done EVERYTHINg they can to minimalize it, and have actually WORKED to insure our defeat....
How many of your neighbors can recite the name of even a SINGLE Silver Star winner from your state??
For that matter, how many can YOU name??
Our sons, daughters, and friends are making HUGE sacrifices, and losing thier lives in a vaccumn, because it's not politicly expedient to an entire American Political Party's quest for power....
sad, isn't it?
No down to a 6845 vote spread.
Too bad you couldn't track it back to Howard Dean ... it really was he who brought elections full-tilt into the internet age...
"No down to a 6845 vote spread."
Go!
Either that or that "we" (america) deserved what we got. The MSM beat us tonight.
Is there even such a thing as a Democrat in Montana?
I know that, but when I began posting the results, Steele was ahead by 75k votes. Later, he was still ahead after Baltimore came in. Yesterday (or maybe the day before), one of the more knowledgeable talking heads on Fox said that if he could pull in 25%-30% of the black vote in Baltimore, Prince George's and Montgomery counties, he could win by a small margin. Therefore, with Baltimore in and him still ahead, it wasn't unreasonable (nor "dense") to think that he could still win. You guys are telling me he lost because CNN said so.
Fine.
hate to tell you this but there're alot of upstaters who've been wishing for such a thing to happen to NYC for years
Steele won't concede
"There were many other factors at work here."
Well there's always tomorrow to try and figure those out. We lost. Badly. Maybe we can figure out why and change things back in '08. As for me, I refuse to whine and cry about it, instead I will be good natured and even tease here and there. I will even be cordial to my lib friends and family when they rib me over this loss and gloat.
Always keeping fresh in my mind the bitter taste of this night, and the fact that 2008 is much closer than it sounds.
I will sign off with this last thought; when elected Repub's govern as mods or even center-left, they lose. People elect the Repubs to be conservative. If they sense that is not what they are getting, then they might as well vote in the REAL socialists and get "free" money whilst waiting for the Repubs to come to their senses.
Or just stay home as I fear some did this time.
and Al Gore who brought us the internet
That's good. Oregon is vote by mail only. We just didn't get the votes out...We all have to roll up our sleeves and work harder.
As Mark Steyn pointed out in "America Alone", the t-shirts that say "these colors don't run" are not true. The last time we didn't run was in the Korean War. The jihadists have correctly calculated that we can't fight and win a long war. We'll now run from Iraq just like we ran from Vietnam. Good luck putting together a coalition to contain Iran now.

Four points.
1. "Rove you Bastard!"
2. Bush's FaultTM
3. US national security is TOAST.
4. US Southern border will soon disappear.
NO Cheers, unfortunately.
So you're saying Christians are the reason Republicans have been in power for ten years?
Okay. Thanks!
Those of us who have sent family over there have enormous emotional energy invested, My son came home Friday from Baghdad, you can't just shrug your shoulders and shuffle off. He lost 2 good friends last month. I know being angry is not constructive but how about a little space? Can't we at least grieve for 27 million people we'll abandon who are going straight to hell?
"I AM GETTING DRUNK TONIGHT!!! I AM SMASHING THE TV SETS!!!!"
