Actually, your thread(s) and the threads of the other weeping losers pretty much are proof that you guys are wickedly out of touch with the mainstream. If losing the Presidency, the Senate, and the House doesn’t get that through your thick skulls, then we have a filibuster-proof Senate in 2006, and President Jeb Bush in 2008.
Weeping losers? You really are an arrogant asshole. I hope to be the first in line to say “I told you so” every time Bush and Cheney fuck up again.
You fools don’t seem to realize that your view of ‘how things should be’ was smacked down. People don’t buy what you are peddling, no matter how many sad (but satisfyingly humorous) threads you start.
Don’t get too excited at that prospect, Steve. According to them, Bush doesn’t fuck up. Everything is great in Iraq, the economy is …how did I hear it put? “the best in our lifetimes”, etc. They can do “Lalala I can’t hear you” in 3 part harmony.
I’m pretty sure that we could discover Bush and Cheney buggering little boys in the basement and the Brutuses would call it strong disicpline.

I’m sure you meant to direct this at STOID. Right?
Sure. That should work much better this election cycle than it did before.
Ya know, that comes pretty close to: We can’t wait for shit to go wrong so we can say “Nyah-Nyah-N-Nyah Nyah!”
At least the better people are saying, “Gee, as much as I might like to see it, I hope nothing bad happens to my country because of George Bush and the Republicans. Because in 4 years, *we’re taking it back!”
And Stoid!
Drink some wine, smoke some weed (but lay off the munchies), go out and get some fresh air. :sheesh:
It was directed at that long list of characteristics from Egineer.
STEVE, my friend, that wooshing sound you heard was my point flying over your head. Allow me to clarify: Your statement, “You don’t know jack about many of us. Don’t act like you do,” is a perfect rejoinder to the OP, which is why I ironically asked if that wasn’t where you were directing it.

Brutus, what the fuck are you smoking? More people turned out to vote AGAINST your guy than have ever than ever voted against an incumbent in the history of this country!
The difference between the two was 3.5 million. That’s not even the population of New york City! Are you telling me that the values and ideals of 55 MILLION people are marginal and meaningless? That is a big, fat, stupid lie and we aren’t going to let you keep pushing it.
And the House and Senate seats gained by the GOP?
I got a question, and, 'struth, I dont really know the answer. I wonder if GeeDubya can really move his agenda with an approval rate as low as it is, and I wonder if he can if it continues to fall? Iraq ain’t gonna get better any time soon, if ever. I doubt very much if anyone who voted against him changed their mind because we got rolled over on.
So, if things don’t get better, at what point will his co-conspirators in the House and Senate start glancing at the exits? He ain’t worried about being re-elected. But if things go really sour, heading towards the Iraqi elections, he might be a lame duck before he even gets re-inaugurated.
Can he be an effective President if his approval falls any lower?
Well, yes. Yes, he can. He does not need a high approval rating to move his agenda now. The role of the American public at large is essentially over. He has Republican majorities in the house and senate and he’s probably going to be filling two – and maybe four – Supreme Court seats. Plus he’s a second term president who will not be restrained by re-election concerns from pushing whatever the hell agenda he wants. I’m not gloating, but those are the facts, Jack.
Hm, I think you really are barking up the wrong tree on this. It turns out that the biggest “issue” for Bush supporters, beating out the war in Iraq and the economy by several percentage points, was “moral issues.” Gay marriage. Stem cell research. Partial-birth abortion. God and family whitebread blah blah blah bullshit. Basically, the knuckle-dragging, reactionary bible-thumpers came out in DROVES because we can’t have them thar faggits gittin’ married , now, can we?
A vote for Bush this election was, in a very real sense, a vote for a Fundy America.
Yet, in 2000 when Gore got a mere 500,000 more in the popular vote, your whole argument was that he “deserved” to be President, because “the people have spoken”. In this election, Bush’s lead in the popular vote was SIX TIMES larger. The people HAVE spoken, and your guy lost. (You lost in the Senate and the House too.)
I hope we get Scalia for Chief Justice, as well. :wally

Pssst. You forgot to mention that they lost a couple Supreme Court Justice seats as well.
Not to rub it in or anything. Well, I guess I am.
You know, I so much want to see these next years be more inclusive with the center. But at the same time, I just delight in the sobs of the extremists who can’t figure out what just happened. “It’s so obvious he’s evil. How did he get elected again, if it weren’t a pact with Satan, or some voodoo mind control?”
Extreme how? If you refer to reaction, that’s a matter of opinion. If you refer to my politics, I defy you to demonstrate what about my politics )and those of at least 55 million other Americans) is so extreme? My politics are very MOR, actually.
Too bad the same cannot be said for the lying corrupt scum in power.
Cite?
I don’t think we’re quite changing into the Republic of Gilead, but we do need to recognize that there is a fundamental disconnect betwen what we see as important and what Bush’s supporters see.
I’m still having trouble understanding how gay marriage is more of an issue to a blue collar guy in Ohio than a decent jobs forecast is. Instead of sneering, though, we’d be smarter to get humble and learn why Bush’s people voted the way they did.
I just wish I didn’t feel that my country has turned on me. It hurts profoundly to know that millions of Americans hate me and mine so much that they enacted laws targeted at me.
Cite? yourself, dearie. Let’s spare the hamsters, and all. Unless you’ve changed your tune, somehow, and now agree that Bush was elected, quite properly, in 2000?
