Welcome to the 51 49% Country

[Kaylore]

I'm not going to gloat too much, just when responding to LABF.

Let's revisit this election.

- Bush Wins the Popular Vote
- Bush wins the Electoral College (just a matter of time)
- Republican gains in the house and the Senate
- Republican gains in Gubernatorial elections.
- Republicans winning in traditionally Democratic areas. (Louisianna, First Republican Senator in 40 years.)
- Democrats lose their minority leader for the first time in 52 years.
- Republicans pulling 40% of Hispanic voters

Since the nineties, your party has been steadily in decline. Slowly losing power election by election. This is actually worse than one defining vote because it suggests a trend. It's a slow death.

You guys need to rethink where your party stands and what they represent because it isn't cohesive, nor does it resonate with voters.

I would suggest firing Terry McAuliffe. I don't know how he kept his job after the '02 election cycle, but he clearly isn't doing anything but wasting you guys' money and losing your power more and more.

I got mixed emotions...glad Bush won, but hate that we'll have to listen to LABF and his cronies cry for another 4 years.

The air america clowns are besides themselves....wondering how they lost (again). And now this time all their excuses have gone too. Bush won the popular vote, so now they cannot cry that he's the "never elected monkey".

They were on the air complaining that 22% of the people in the exit polls chose moral values as their #1 concern.....not the war, not the economy, not health care....but moral values. They claimed that that was code for "homo-phobia", and then proceeded to say that 23% of openly gay people voted for Bush.

They said that Republicans did a better job of getting their message out, while the Dems did not. That or the nation didn't hear it. I think they did get their message out and America didn't like it. BTW, there was a story of how 4 million Christians didn't vote in '00 election, the one that Bush was down 500,000 in the popular vote....well this one he was up close to 3.5 million.

things that make me go hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................

If moral values was a key to last night's Bush victory, the dems can blame their left-wing gay "rights" activists for pushing their marriage agenda last year. I'm personally in favor of gay marriage (or civil unions), but by trying to win that battle in the courts, the gay "rights" crowd stepped over the line by trying to achieve their goals through non-democratic means.

None of this is a surprise. The majority of this country is socially conservative, regardless of what the media tries to tell you. I just don't understand the Gore/Kerry supporters who claim 'democracy at work' when their guy does well and cries when they do poorly.

That's because they know if they put their immoral crap before a vote of the people, it will not pass.

See, liberals cannot come out and admit what they are....imagine a canidate coming out saying he's going to raise taxes on all of us? He'd never win, and they know it. Why else would John Kerry have two sides to every issue?

[Exile_In_SJ]

I can't wait for LABF to come out in full whine mode. His whacky factor is so very entertainng.

I'm eagerly awaiting to see his first post election thread and to see the outright weirdness of it.

He's currently busy posting some DU fantasy in the other threads about e-voting fraud being the reason exit polling didn't match the final results. Whacky factor, indeed.

[Mile High Shack]

well that was going to be obvious...I mean obviously G.W. couldn't of won this election straight up

it has to be a conspiracy, I know we'll here about that for 4 years.

That's so true. Some people were wondering how Kerry could be the #1 liberal in Congress, and still be a waffler. It's because what he ran on, and what he voted for in congress, were very different. I was scared Kerry may pull this out because he was telling people what they wanted to hear. He's an opportunistist, and Americans are very lucky he didn't snake his way into the White House.

I've been watching their dialogue at DU as well. I presume he's SoCal, but yes, true to form they're saying Conspiracy. I think that's a fitting end to their loser finish; Do more of the dumb stuff that estranged the masses and lost you the election.

Kerry has conceeded the race. It's over.

Thanks it was a late night

[TexanBob]

What I don't understand is when Democrats complain that they didn't get their message out. They own ABC. They own CBS. They own NBC. They own CNN. They have the Washington Post, the New York Times, the LA Times, the Boston Globe, PBS, NPR, Time, Newsweek, etc.etc.etc.

The media prostituted themselves for Kerry, ran fake stories for Kerry, distorted news events for Kerry, never once asked Kerry a tough question or took an adversarial position on any issue with him. Had three debates in which they claimed Kerry "won" all three.

And YET - somehow they can still say with a straight face that they didn't get their message out.

Maybe their message DID get out and the American people flat out rejected it. Could this be a more realistic scenario?

I think their message was that they had no answers. Their whole campaign was whine, whine, whine.

It got out, they just didn't have one except "We are not George Bush"....The Democratic ticket would have gotten the exact same number of votes had they not put a name on their ballot and just put a "D" in the box. Well that may not be exactly fair, they might have gotten a few more votes had they had nothing on the ballot than an extreme liberal from Taxachusetts. This was nothing more than a I am voting for Bush or I am voting against Bush election and we found out more people are for him than against him.

The Democratic party has become a party of zero ideas, principles or direction. For the last 15+ years they have migrated into just being anti-Republican. They don't care what it is, if the Republicans are for it then we are against it. There is a certain % that will just yank the "D" cause that is what their family has done for generations without thought but many of those people are dying off and we are finding out those that use their brains even slightly want something more than "well, we aren't them" as a platform of beliefs.
