		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Hey why don’t you type in more enormous posts that nobody reads.

But please, keep doing what you’re doing. It makes me very happy to know you have no intention of changing course.

Dave Rywall on November 13, 2008 at 3:26 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Your dumba$$ is obviously reading them.So you are right,NOBODY IS READING THEM.

Your mother obviously doesn&#039;t know you skipped school today.
Next time you might want to try actually backing up all that
left wing drivel that you are typing on your mother&#039;s computer.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;In addition, there was virtually no McCain TV advertising in Ohio.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

He was too busy advertising in PA, a state he didn&#039;t need and had no chance to win.</description>

Please ignore these Socialists like they ignore the facts.  It&#039;s not worth the energy and is wasting my time scrolling to cipher through to the good stuff.  They&#039;ll be in the Volunteer Civil Army infirmary being treated from internet surfing withdrawals soon enough.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;False, false and false again. Whether or not you agreed with the slant on the media coverage of the campaign we got a full two weeks of Bill Ayers talk from Palin clips of which were repeated over and over again. The American people were told about Bill Ayers and they made a decision. The American people were told about Jeremiah Wright…and they made a decision.

DeathToMediaHacks on November 13, 2008 at 1:27 PM

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Yeah, whatever.  Hannity and Rush are preaching to the choir.  We needed the MSM to report the facts about Obama.  As to people knowing about Ayers and Wright and still choosing to vote for the scumbag that is what I meant by greedy, envious morons.  They have no loyalty to the USA only wanted to see that $500-1000 check from Obama.  Sickening.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Do you think “base” Democrats are agitating constantly to get rid of all these “DINOs”, or do you think they are still drunk today celebrating their great victory?

rockmom on November 13, 2008 at 11:09 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The only thing baser than Democrats is you frustrated Democrat wannabes.  

Frankly, this post clearly demonstrates the shallowness of your thinking.  I push ideas and principles, not political parties.  It just so happens that the political parties are so polarized that there is nothing with the framework of the Democrat party I can support.  There is little that I support from you moonbats who demand we all shift to your way of thinking in order to be more &quot;electable&quot; as opposed to taking a principled stand.  

So to answer your question, I don&#039;t care what the DINOs are doing these days.  I&#039;m more concerned with the principles and values of social and evangelical conservatism.  These values were hijacked in 2008 by a bunch of rat bastard traitors such as you and McCain.  We need to get rid of your type of &quot;Republican&quot; for the good of the party and the good of the nation.</description>

		<description>The realization that the Republicans no longer were with them, combined with the ability to overcome the &quot;-but-but overpaid union workers!&quot; excuse are large parts of what turned Ohio blue.  The lies of prosperity through faulty trade policy also helped turn Ohio blue.  It was only a matter of time before the offshoring practices of 2003 and onward would deliver the final blow.  2006 should have been a warning, 2008 was the reckoning of ~30 years of harm across many professions.  

  If they want to know where they could regain a deeply lost trust, they may want to look to Mike Turner and his history.  Or they can continue to use the other well-known GOP retreads in Ohio and hope nobody remembers what happened.  Of course, there are many people that do remember.</description>

We lost because we had a candidate that tried to be honorable running against a candidate that had no honor. 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
His honor was confined to his military conduct.  With regards to his economic policy, there was no honor to be found.

Ohio wanted something that was 30 years in the making, and they wished to deliver to McCain what business has done for ages.</description>

  As for the casino issue, there are some regrets courtesy of those who voted no and are facing layoffs at DHL.  

  To put it in more familiar terms, Reaganism no longer sells here.  The market for it here has dried up save for an ignorable audience.  Prosperity will have to be non-adversarial to Main Street of Ohio; it will have to be able to offer something useful to the displaced and remaining workers as much as it would to the businesses that venerate Wall Street.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Look, Obama was a superior candidate. You lost because Bush’s policies Republican corruption over the past eight years and opened the door for someone like Obama – smart politician with a unifying and inspiring message and alternate policy proposals – to win the White House.

You lost because Republicans nominated a candidate most of the their base hates, so they just spent the entire campaign bashing a guy most Americans like. You lost because we tried Republicans policies for the past eight years and it’s pretty apparent most of them have failed. You’ve got nothing new to offer.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
We lost because we had a candidate that tried to be honorable running against a candidate that had no honor.  You cannot win by taking the high road if your opponent is in the gutter.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Except for Bush manipulating intelligence to build his case for invading Iraw and the torture issue, your list is in stupid tin foil hat land.
Dave Rywall on November 13, 2008 at 11:55 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

 Hey genius,if you could pull your head out of john stewart&#039;s
a$$ long enough,you might want to read:

The 2003 Senate intelligence report
9/11 commission report
The Butler report
2008 Senate intelligence report(chaired by a majority of democrats)

 That all stated plain enough for even you to understand that Bush neither lied nor manipulated pre-war intelligence.

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-kirchick16-2008jun16,0,4808346.story
From the Los Angeles Times
&lt;strong&gt;Bush never lied to us about Iraq&lt;/strong&gt;
The administration simply got bad intelligence. Critics are wrong to assert deception.
By James Kirchick
&lt;blockquote&gt;
Yet in spite of all the accusations of White House &quot;manipulation&quot; -- that it pressured intelligence analysts into connecting Hussein and Al Qaeda and concocted evidence about weapons of mass destruction -- administration critics continually demonstrate an inability to distinguish making claims based on flawed intelligence from knowingly propagating falsehoods.

In 2004, the Senate Intelligence Committee unanimously approved a report acknowledging that it &quot;did not find any evidence that administration officials attempted to coerce, influence or pressure analysts to change their judgments.&quot; The following year, the bipartisan Robb-Silberman report similarly found &quot;no indication that the intelligence community distorted the evidence regarding Iraq&#039;s weapons of mass destruction.&quot;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;


&lt;strong&gt;&#039;Bush Lied&#039;? If Only It Were That Simple.&lt;/strong&gt;
By Fred Hiatt
Monday, June 9, 2008; Page A17 
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/08/AR2008060801687.html

&lt;blockquote&gt;As you read through the report, you begin to think maybe you&#039;ve mistakenly picked up the minority dissent. But, no, this is the Rockefeller indictment. So, you think, the smoking gun must appear in the section on Bush&#039;s claims about Saddam Hussein&#039;s alleged ties to terrorism. 
But statements regarding Iraq&#039;s support for terrorist groups other than al-Qaeda &quot;were substantiated by intelligence information.&quot; Statements that Iraq provided safe haven for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and other terrorists with ties to al-Qaeda &quot;were substantiated by the intelligence assessments,&quot; and statements regarding Iraq&#039;s contacts with al-Qaeda &quot;were substantiated by intelligence information.&quot; The report is left to complain about &quot;implications&quot; and statements that &quot;left the impression&quot; that those contacts led to substantive Iraqi cooperation. 

But the phony &quot;Bush lied&quot; story line distracts from the biggest prewar failure: the fact that so much of the intelligence upon which Bush and Rockefeller and everyone else relied turned out to be tragically, catastrophically wrong. 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Of course facts don&#039;t matter to idiots like you.


 And I agree with you,that list is in &quot;stupid tinfoil hat mode&quot;.It is a list that represents all the ignorant stupidity from people like you that make up the democratic party.That list was the bed you and your liberal friends made, not anybody else.</description>

<p> Hey genius,if you could pull your head out of john stewart&#8217;s<br />
a$$ long enough,you might want to read:</p>
<p>The 2003 Senate intelligence report<br />
9/11 commission report<br />
The Butler report<br />
2008 Senate intelligence report(chaired by a majority of democrats)</p>
<p> That all stated plain enough for even you to understand that Bush neither lied nor manipulated pre-war intelligence.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-kirchick16-2008jun16,0,4808346.story" rel="nofollow">http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-kirchick16-2008jun16,0,4808346.story</a><br />
From the Los Angeles Times<br />
<strong>Bush never lied to us about Iraq</strong><br />
The administration simply got bad intelligence. Critics are wrong to assert deception.<br />
By James Kirchick</p>
<blockquote><p>
Yet in spite of all the accusations of White House &#8220;manipulation&#8221; &#8212; that it pressured intelligence analysts into connecting Hussein and Al Qaeda and concocted evidence about weapons of mass destruction &#8212; administration critics continually demonstrate an inability to distinguish making claims based on flawed intelligence from knowingly propagating falsehoods.</p>
<p>In 2004, the Senate Intelligence Committee unanimously approved a report acknowledging that it &#8220;did not find any evidence that administration officials attempted to coerce, influence or pressure analysts to change their judgments.&#8221; The following year, the bipartisan Robb-Silberman report similarly found &#8220;no indication that the intelligence community distorted the evidence regarding Iraq&#8217;s weapons of mass destruction.&#8221;

		<description>Continue to ignore voter fraud and keep denying it played a part in this election and many other past elections. It amazes me that people talk about it with righteous indignation right before the election and then forget it happened after the election. There are elections all over this country every year that boil down to a few votes between winning and losing. I&#039;ve seen it first hand. Do you want the dead people or the one man with 73 votes deciding those elections? I don&#039;t.</description>

		<description>Unions were yesterdays solution that have become today&#039;s problem. For them to protect people that are guilty of stealing the taxpayers time and resources by participating in partisan politics is absolutely wrong and a good reason to resist any attempts at further unionization. While on the job it is a violation of state law for an employee to do anything else but their job, PERIOD. Have no mercy.</description>

Thanks for feeling this way - you&#039;re helping the Dems more than you&#039;re helping your own party. You put forth a lame ticket that energized the base but fooled nobody beyond that. Until you figure out why that was, your party is going nowhere n 2012.

And by the way, &quot;anti-American&quot; is such a tired, stupid gasbag phrase that means nothing.</description>

Done like a true liberal.Change or disregard the facts,cut and paste to fit your empty rhetoric.

The vast majority of the MSM is nothing more than an activists group for the democratic party.

The vast majority of the American people see this.
In 6 months to a year,it will be obvious that Obama can&#039;t keep any of his campaign promises.The economy will still be in a free fall,little to no new jobs,higher taxes and massive spending,with international leaders exposing Obama for the empty poser that he is.This spinning,cutting and pasting is not going to save the MSM or the people&#039;s temple of Obama and it&#039;s followers.

 demcrats can&#039;t sit on the sidelines crying and pointing fingers now,they have a lot of 
promises to keep.

 A lot of people waiting for Obama to pay their mortgages,gas,and bring peace to the world.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Here’s where it gets gooey. Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) &lt;strong&gt;identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, &lt;/strong&gt;of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

A lie repeated enough times becomes truth, right?

Anyway, another of the reasons Republicans lost was because the leader at the top of the ballot wasn&#039;t ready to do what it took to win: voter fraud (Ohio was particularly good at it), illegal fund raising, voter intimidation, etc. As a lame duck, Bush is doing a particularly good job of screwing up more opportunities to shaft BO (how about leaving a few special prosecutors in place for Rezko, Acorn, and campaign finance cheating?) and the rest of you leftard, anti-american slime. 

Republicans never really realized that Democrats were a worse threat to this country than AQ. Maybe the next generation rising from the ashes of the bi-partisan country club Republicans will realize that and act accordingly. Certainly the grassroots understand that fact.</description>

		<description>How about nothing turned OHIO blue.
Voter turnout in Ohio dropped 400,000 from 5.6 to 5.2 million. Obama recieved 30,000 less votes than John kerry did in 2004 when he lost. Bush got 150,000 more votes than Obama.

What happened in Ohio? Less people hated Obama than hated McCain.  They chose the Giant Douche over the Shit Sandwich.</description>

Dear Captain Dumba$$

Except for Bush manipulating intelligence to build his case for invading Iraw and the torture issue, your list is in stupid tin foil hat land.

You conveniently left out the real reasons people dumped the GOP this election. Hmmm - probably because you&#039;re in a whimpering state of denial like a lot of other yahoos around here. You probably don&#039;t think there&#039;s anything wrong with how your country has fared over he past 8 years.

You&#039;re doing exactly what I want you to do to keep your party out of the white house in 2012: continuing to not have a clue.</description>
