I repeat second sentence of post #276.
“Your “contributions” say much that I’d rather attribute to klansmen than a conservative.”
Huh? Being a pro life/gun conservative makes you a klansmen?
That’s nice.
Such crybaby horseshit...Kentucky (which has a hell of a lot more common with Maryland than South Carolina) is 800 miles away and has had only one or two Donks in their Congressional Delegation for over a decade. Grow the f'up.
Good post.
I even have (GASP) friends who voted for 0bama. That doesn’t mean I share anything at all politically with them!
Love the picture and you make some great points. Expect the blue-dog democrats to feel the heat and change sides.
also, keep in mind that both of Rove’s elections were before Katrina in 2005. That really hurt things with minorities and with blacks especially. Combine the effects of Katrina with a black candidate in Obama(who also played the race card very effectively) and I don’t think anyone would have done any better than the 5% or so that McCain ended up getting.
I mean the GOP hasn’t topped 10% or so of the black vote in 50 years or thereabouts.
The difference is the white vote vote is shrinking to its lowest level ever and our margins there aren’t enough to make it up.
Even if McCain had done as well as W did among whites he still would have lost because of the decline in the white vote. W got 58% of the white vote and McCain got 55%. He needed 62% to win based on the white share of the total vote, which given the economy, the iraq war and W’s overall unpopularity was pretty much impossible.
Had the same feeling. It was incredulous.
Thanking the Almighty that we won and can go forward as a party.
As our local GOP club Pres. said:
“Yes yes yes we are going to be ok. Thank God for this win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
