Its just you. ;)

Instead of gloating... LET'S CRUSH THEM !

AND NOW- a public service announcement for the day:

ANWAR Caribou tastes like spotted owl (which tastes remarkably like chicken) er-buuurghp, excuse me. (sound of lips smacking in the backgroud)

[Cinnamon Girl]

Who's gloating? I'm stuck in the Soviet Socialist People's Republic of Dumb-sses for another four years with Minister Joe Davis.

BUT I'M SUPER HAPPY ABOUT THE SENATE AND I LOVE PRESIDENT BUSH! THANK G-D FOR HIM.

[Jagdgewehr]

I'm pleased at the set backs and losses the Democrats have suffered nationally. Being a patriot and a partisan, I feel no shame in being pleased.

AUSGEZEICHNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SERE_DOC]

"SCHADENFREUDE!"

This is America dogonit... dagnabit type SPANISH

[wildbill]

You have to remember that the other side genuinely believes that we are evil, not just wrong, but evil. That generates a lot of return.

Frankly, I'd like to see the gloating changed into encomiums for the Democratic team a la: "Yep, we were lucky to beat you guys. That McAuliffe and his stratergurey...er..stragtegery...whatever...were entirely correct. We'd certainly hate to meet that team in 04."

Hee, hee.

[GSHastings]

I've detected way too much gloating up in here. It makes me uncomfortable and I wonder if it bothers anybody else

Well, that's what loses wars. If you aren't clear about the enemy, and the need to win, you lose.

This isn't some kind of high school debating exercise. Peoples lives are being lost daily (the pre-born), and many peoples lives are literally in the balance in the future. The stakes in this war are enormous. Jubilation at a victory which has the "potential" of profoundly changing the outcome of the war is a GOOD THING.

I'll tell ya what , I have never gone to D U website until today. Some of the things these people post are pretty scary. Downright evil. If some of these were posted on F/R they would be pulled immediately and the poster banned for life. Nasty language is the standard over there . These people deserved to lose. May they lose forevermore. Go spend a little time over there...in fact you can start with the poem that I gave you th elink to above. I don't usually like to gloat either, but I am very happy today. It's a nice poem...check it out.

[BlueAngel]

I feel we were robbed of celebrating on Bush's 2000 election night. The dems were trying to steal the election. After two hard years we are entitled to be happy our side won. Please try to understand.

President Bush is first class, he isn't rubbing this great win into the dems face.

[dark_lord]

Ok, ya'll, celebration is now ending - back to work! 2004 coming up, time to squeeze some more Dems out of the Senate (they have more seats to risk next time up.)

:-)

[manfromlamancha]

10 years of clinton politics has finally passed, I will gloat for the next two knowing that the SC will be maintained, that the Federal Courts will be maintained, that my faith in this nation has fully been restored last night; if I died right now...I would know that my country is country I always knew.

[Flashman_at_the_charge]

With all due respect this election wasn’t analogous to some grand game of football, with both sides playing the same game, to the same rules and with the same goals. The results will have a direct impact on the liberty, safety and financial wellbeing of myself, and also those close to me. If it were in my power to do so I would order a day of bell ringing across the land.

[America's Resolve]

(Please don't take this wrong Admins :) )

Arc, you obviously haven't been over to the Dem forums. You'd see some of the most vile, despicable things on the planet.

THey're hoping that Harris's plane goes down on the way to Washington. Hoping the economy tanks so that they can lead a revolution. The govt is now a dictatorship. Poor THEIR America. Ignorance is strength etc straight out of orwell is the future of the US now.

I don't feel for them one little bit. What we're saying is EXTEREMELY mild compared to what they're saying.

[SerpentDove]

Hey, you're the same ArcLight who threatened to leave FreeRepublic because of all the "rampant racism."

We just can't do anything to please you, can we? There are other forums, you know.

[boris]

"I can't stand that kind of hateful attack-dog stuff, and I want no part of it. The gloating I see here reminds me of it, and I hope that people will dial it back a bit, now that the first flush of victory has passed."

Republicans have consistently lost on major issues and elections because they have been 'nice', 'polite' and 'civil.'

What we on the right needs is a big dose of scorched-earth, take no prisoners, jolly roger, attack-dog stuff.

To make up for the past half-century of spineless supplication to the liberals and the press, I figure 100% nasty for about 20 years is the minimum.

Do you want to be nice or win? The Dems made that choice long ago. Evidently you'd prefer to be nice and lose. You'll fit right in with Trent Lott and the rest of the round-heels in Congress.

--Boris

[MattAMiller]

Schadenfreude would be gloating over the death of Wellstone. Welcoming the defeat of a party you don't like and the victory of a party you do like is just a part of politics.

And no I don't expect Republicans to even begin to roll back government any time soon. But it does give a forum to lay the intellectual groundwork and political capital to do just that.

Besides I think it's more important right now the levers of power are out of the hands of a party of bureaucrats. The Democrats have seen the bureacracy as an extension of their power, and vice versa. Having congress and the White House in Republican hands at least weakens that realtionship and allows for some reform and accountability if not actual cuts.

[Paul Atreides]

and I wonder if it bothers anybody else.

Hmmmmmmmm.....NO!

If you want to hear a bunch of feel-good, get-along, pap, go to a Barney site. Don't expect me to feel guilty over winning over a bunch of socialist, abortion-loving, race-baiting, homo-promoting, feminazi, tax-hiking, gun-grabbing, white-hating, Christian-hating, criminal-loving, Clinton-loving, hypocritical demons. If you can't handle it, take a break from FR for a few days.

[snippy_about_it]

oh pooh. Can't we all just get along, can't we all just stop using cute catch phrases and get along.


We are enjoying a well deserved win. Get over yourself!

[Paul Atreides]

For another, if we did that, we'd be just like the worst, creepiest people we've seen in the Democrat party--the ones that held the Wellstone funerally or who passed out Oreo cookies to attack a black Republican in Maryland.

What a ridiculous statement! In case you didn't know, this was an election. Nobody here is holding a rally over a dead man's grave. We are happy over winning. The competition knew what it was getting into. Now, if that taxes your delicate constitution, this might be the wrong site for you.

I dont see any caca and its certainly not directed at anybody's Friends
