You know, it's almost a pleasure to read this thread when I remember the DU after they lost.
They cried, they whined, they threatened to commit suicide and leave the county - which promise they reneged on, I might add. Freepers have so much more class.
They're giving us lemons, so let's move on and make some lemonade.
Remember that website some group created after the 2004 election, where people posted pictures of themselves holding signs that said "I'm sorry"? I think that was their message to the rest of the world. What a bunch of whiny sore losers they were!
Conservatives have far more meaningful and richer lives. Just compare the kinds of the threads and posts that appear at DU to those at FR. FR is a fun, richly-varied, and hopeful place.
On its best days, DU is a dank and dreary DUngeon.
Here's the best part: the Demoncrats are destined to lose again, and in a BIG way.
This is a temporary and relatively modest swing their direction. The brutal reality is, they are doomed by demographic trends. They are not reproducing (abortion, euthanasia, and gay marriage are demographic dead ends). Democrats, especially the more liberal among them, are becoming extinct. That's a fact.
Blue states are projected to lose 10-15 congressional seats to red states in the reapportionment following the 2010 election alone.
Liberalism didn't win this time out. Bush hate won. Bush's term ends in two years. What will they do then?
Tonight, liberals are dead men cheering.
FReepers, and conservatives in general, have more class. Plus, we're less heavily dependent on medication.

Agreed. I too wondered how we would react here. But I suppose I expected the level of class and intellect that is actually on display. Maybe Bush cannot start calling them out and talking over them to the American people like Reagan once did.
