"I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again" - Gordon Lightfoot, "Sundown", 1974

We'll see what happens in the fall. Here's to a civil, pleasant campaign season! Fuckin' wingnuts! =)

Oh the times, they are a-changin'...

Bemused you are completely deluded...America does not want what you preach.

The loony left will never learn because they are by nature unhinged from reality

What a great song Kirktoe and ohh so appropriate for the leftards.

The 12 steps of Liberals Anonymous

1.) We admitted we were powerless over liberalism -- that our lives had become unmanageable.

2.) Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3.) Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understand Him.

4.) Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5.) Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our liberal beliefs.

6.) We are entirely ready to have God remove all these liberal defects of character.

7.) Humbly asked Him to remove our liberal shortcomings.

8.) Made a list of all military persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9.) Made direct amends to troops wherever possible.

10.) Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11.) Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12.) Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to liberals, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Despite the popularity of anti-Americanism in Democratic circles and primaries, it is a much harder sell in the general elections.

I know, we should keep up with the Republicans because things have gotten really really great lately. The War is won, wages are up, the country isn't bitterly divided, Congress is tackling important issues, and up is down.

Did Byron York ever pull a boner.....

He wrote: " but 2004 was the year in which the DemocratIC presidential nominee..."

He forgot the wingnut vow to never use Democrat w/ "ic."

How long before York is tossed overboard by you crazies?

Jp2 - Hmmm?...lets see, employment is at 4.6%, Zarquawi killed,
Congress is tacking big issues...like Immigration, and the country
is divided...but do you really think if Al Bore or JFK were president that it wouldn't be? Come on? It would be more divided than it is now.

Michael

You've got to be kidding....

Bush campaign promise during the 2000 campaign: "It doesn't have to be the way it is in Washington. We need a uniter, not a divider, somebody who will bring us together and lead this nation to a better tomorrow."

What lying crap!

No President in memory has created this degree of division in the US save possibly Nixon. No President has had poll numbers like Bush where essentially his only support comes from the extreme right in this country. Look at the wrong track/right track poll results in any poll you choose.

PS Zarqawi's death, while deserved and long overdue, is hardly a Bush accomplishment. Hell, Bush & his NSC debated to death and then squelched 3 seperate opportunities prior to his Iraqi war to get rid of Zarqawi at his camp in the NE of Iraq before Zarqawi had had a chance to unleash his bloody campaign on Iraqi's or our forces.

The funniest thing about moonbat idiots like mak44 is that they really and truly believe what they say.

There is some serious pathology going on there . . .

Re; Byron York who wrote about Paul Hackett:

"What's more, some of them lost in part because they said the kind of things that bring cheers on the DailyKos but that turn off many voters. Hackett...said...'the Republican party has been hijacked by the religious fanatics that, in my opinion, aren't a whole lot different from Osama bin Laden.'"

I live in Dogpatch (Cincinnati) where Jean Schmidt is from and I can affirm that both districts in this DEPRAVED neck of the woods are so extreme Right Wing that the local Republican HQ is actually out on another planet.

That Hackett came as close as he did to defeating the dinosaur Schmidt was remarkable in itself.

And with such prominent party members as Dobson, Robertson, the pimmply Ralph Reed and Foulwell, the GOP has been hijacked by the End of Days-ers.

Dogpatch may not be the buckle on the Bible Belt but for certain it's the first hole.

Adjoran

Just FYI

Some ridiculous fool has been making asshole posts on here, using your name, that make you look like a retarded Turd.

Lorrie you can tell them all you want they either won't believe you or just ignore you. Witness Mak44,I rest my case.

Oh and Jp2 would just pretend that nothing was said,and just continue with his stupidity. Keep at it though Lorie because the sane appriciate you.

Dimo's don't lie...please!

Quote (by mak44):
"No President has had poll numbers like Bush where essentially his only support comes from the extreme right in this country."

You are, of course, talking out of your ass.

Current approval numbers for Bush hover in the low 30s. Here are the low water marks for presidents from Lyndon Johnson through Bill Clinton:

Johnson: 35%
Nixon: 24%
Ford: 37%
Carter: 28%
Reagan: 35%
Bush I: 29%
Clinton: 37%

And with such prominent party members as Dobson, Robertson, the pimmply Ralph Reed and Foulwell, the GOP has been hijacked by the End of Days-ers.

So who hijacked the DNC if not Dean, Gore, Kerry, radical environmentalists, and anti-Americanists.

Both parties are controlled to a large degree by extremists simply because such people have strong beliefs along with the willingness to enter the fray and donate their time and money to bring about the government they believe supports their beliefs.

The vast majority of voters really don't give a s*it which party is in power as long as they feel secure in their job, their kids are getting an education and necessities such as food, housing, medicine and energy are affordable. When either party fails to preserve that standard of living, then the apathy index of voters drops precipitously.

Hurricanes are good for the party out of power as are high energy prices. It could be the Republicans will be blown out of office this November by hurricane winds, but not by ideas or leadership from the DNC.

The dimo's are not returning power this fall or anytime soon. Not
until the party as a whole returns to the middle. The fact of the
matter is that they are no longer seen as a "acceptable alternative".

mak44,

• We weren't the ones who mistook a bug for a feature during the 2000 election, then completely freaked out...
• We weren't the ones who were shocked, shocked when Bush actually tried to implement the agenda he was elected on.
• We weren't the ones who blamed AMERICA for the actions of 20 muslim killtards.
• We weren't the ones who lied about Bush lying about the rationale for the Great Iraqi Liberation™
• We weren't the ones who confused Bush with one of History's biggest monsters.
• We weren't the ones who confessed that they hate America and everything it stands for.
• We weren't the ones who put reacquiring political power above winning a war.

What you have is called "projection". You need real psychological help. I'll pray for you tonight...

mak44 "No President in memory has created this degree of division in the US"

to add to PSGinfinity's dismanteling of your outrageous nonsense...

No LOSING candidate in history has refused to concede...conceded...UN-conceded...kinda RE-conceded...and then spent EVERY WAKING MOMENT for 6 years claiming they were robbed!! Nixon (you brought him up) actually WAS robbed in the 1960 election, but did NOT contest it because he felt it would (surprise) divide the nation! (p.s. this statement stopped being true when KERRY did the same damn thing Gore did...and he continues to claim the election was stolen!!)

No out of power Party in history has made it their SOLE PURPOSE to oppose EVERYTHING the other Party does...and propose ZERO alternatives. In fact Nancy Pelosi made "NO!" the official position of the Democratic Party.

No other political Party in history has staked its entire future on its loudly proclaimed VICTIM STATUS...and attempted to accumulate (or create) as many "victim" classes as possible to solidy a base in constant outrage.

In short, it takes TWO to tango. The Dims are committed to keeping as many wounds as possible open as long as possible.

Well, on the bright side for the young left, there are only 2.5 years remaining in this presidency.

Furthermore, a large percentage of them actually will be {gulp} voting Republican! -- 15-20 years from now.

Cool site, BTW.

PSGinfinity

In your post, you slobbered:

"We weren't the ones who confessed that they hate America and everything it stands for"

This is absurd, and if you don't know it, then it reflects just how deranged your mind is. This is the typical kind of unsubtiated snotty remark that you extremists make all the time on this blogsite and others. You couldn't prove this absurdity if your life depended on it. But the statement of yours is about the same as the Bitch of Bile, Ann coulter would make.

Further: "We weren't the ones who put reacquiring political power above winning a war."

Perhaps not, but you are the ones, under Rove's engineering, who used over 1000 American lives lost in a war of choice to retain political power in November of 2004 w/ the boast that only Republicans can keep America safe. Since then you have taken the toll to nearly 2500 because you have no answert to save American lives due to the war Bush started and now has no way to end w/out leaving the Middle East in a state of catastrophe. As the only man w/ an ounce of sense in this, the worst administration in American history, Colin Powell said, "You break it, yopu own it." That's the kind of warning a parent typically has to give to a rambunctious child, not someone even limitedly qualified to be president.

And further: "We weren't the ones who lied about Bush lying about the rationale for the Great Iraqi Liberation"

You couldn't prove that Bush didn't lie if for no other reason that you can't prove a negative, altho I am sure some of you etremists think you've done just that most of the time.

If Bush didn't lie about the war, then he is a retard for being dumb enough to listen to his war-mongering passle of neo-cons from the AEI think tank that the damn fool loaded his administration with.

And if you go to the Vanity Fair article, it is pretty clear that someone was lying or doing his devious best to use the Niger yellowcake BS over and over again as Bush and Der Cheney did. If this wasn't one of many lies then it was contemptably stupid and reflects a leader unfit & unqualified to hold office.

JJ -- I miss you terribly and so do many others. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Mak44 - do you think anyone pays any attention to your absurd posts?

mak44,

I have a linkfest for you, assuming it gets approved. Suffice it to say that your reply didn't impress me...

PSGinfinity

Bring it on

Mak44: If Bush didn't lie about the war, then he is a retard for being dumb enough to listen to his war-mongering passle of neo-cons from the AEI think tank that the damn fool loaded his administration with.

==========================================

Did I miss something or were the neo-cons also advising Preisdent Clinton when the policy of his administration was a regime change in Iraq? Perhaps you should do a little bit of investigation before just ranting. Like reading Clinton's 1998 speech where he warned of Saddam getting nuclear weapons. The difference between Bush and Clinton is that Bush is about more than just words.

You are typical of most liberals. Nothing ever happened prior to 5 minutes ago. That strategy worked pretty well 20 years ago when there were no alternative news sources. But these days Americans are becoming more educated by the day and see through this tissues of lies that you leftist keep spouting.

And as far as your comments about Bush dividing the country, that's what happens when Presidents LEAD and don't FOLLOW (i.e. Clinton). When you actively pursue your agenda, you're going to anger people (sometimes even those in your own party). Leadership is not easy. But those who do lead are judged to be a success thru the eyes of history. That's why Bill Clinton will just be a footnote in the history textbooks 100 years from now.

But the main reason the country is divided is because of the war on terror. One side is engaged in stamping it out while the other is engaged in simply stamping their feet in protest.

No President in memory has created this degree of division in the US save possibly Nixon.

Yes, it's ALL Bush's fault. God knows the left gave him even the tiniest chance.

No President has had poll numbers like Bush where essentially his only support comes from the extreme right in this country.

Truman did.

PS Zarqawi's death, while deserved and long overdue, is hardly a Bush accomplishment. Hell, Bush & his NSC debated to death and then squelched 3 seperate opportunities prior to his Iraqi war to get rid of Zarqawi at his camp in the NE of Iraq before Zarqawi had had a chance to unleash his bloody campaign on Iraqi's or our forces.,/b>

Yet, somehow, mentioning Clinton's refusal to get OBL for years before 9/11 is "mean".

Both parties are controlled to a large degree by extremists simply because such people have strong beliefs along with the willingness to enter the fray and donate their time and money to bring about the government they believe supports their beliefs.

I actually disagree. What influence does Robertson have in the GOP? Falwell? Reed?

Perhaps not, but you are the ones, under Rove's engineering, who used over 1000 American lives lost in a war of choice to retain political power in November of 2004 w/ the boast that only Republicans can keep America safe.

Seeing as how the Iraq War was the only thing that kept Kerry close --- please let me know how Iraq helped Bush in 2004. I'm curious.

And if you go to the Vanity Fair article, it is pretty clear that someone was lying or doing his devious best to use the Niger yellowcake BS over and over again as Bush and Der Cheney did. If this wasn't one of many lies then it was contemptably stupid and reflects a leader unfit & unqualified to hold office.,/b>

Forgive me if I don't take Vanity Fair seriously.

Kirktoe,

That post no doubt has left little Mak choking on his tongue. Choke em with the truth backed up by the facts. Only the loony left make a living making asses of themselves trying to convince you if you jump in swimming pool you won't get wet. Don't ever change losers.

Mak44 said:

"No President in memory has created this degree of division in the US save possibly Nixon."

Nixon, yes... the man who every president that came after him consulted with repeatedly, at first in secret and then openly, right up until his death. Why do you suppose they did such a thing?

Ideally, we'd have unity rather than division, but if doing the right thing causes division because the clueless, spineless, gonad-less portion of society doesn't like it, so be it.

mak44:

If 2500 American lives makes President Bush a bad president, then what does the 50,000 KIA's in VietNam make Kennedy/Johnson?

USMC Pilot

You forgot to attribute 50% of the VN death toll to Nixon. Remember, USMC, he's the one who had a plan in 1968 to end the VN war; it went on for another 6 years before he basically cut & run. Tricky Dick could have done the same thing in Jan 1989 and saved 27000 American lives.

Not sure who said this first:
"No President has had poll numbers like Bush where essentially his
