I wonder who they will choose for speaker of the house and senate majority leader next year? These election results today really made a statement.

What did you commie liberal terrorists expect? Your messiah tries to turn America communist, of course democrates are going to lose elections.

who cares? this is a baseball board. Go to a political board and discuss it. By the way, I;m a democrat and i take offense to being called a comminunist. I spent 6 years defending your right to say stupid things, but I dont' have to like it. Chump.

Im not a fan of politicans in general i just like taking digs at both sides. Yea its a baseball board but you dont have to read it. Relax this is so hyperbolized i'm surprised you took it seriously

My state just lost our democratic Governer and I'm a tad bit nervous.

Thats because our democratic governor stinks.

First off!! This is a baseball board and should stay that way. Second !!! I am a democrat and also a veteran. I dont know if you are or not. If your not.Maybe i can apply the commie to you.
My point is this. You are entitled to your opinion on political matters. It does not concern me. Go to a board on politics and have a ball. For me,i am here because of my being a very long time Pirate fan. I enjoy the posters here,including you,even if i dont agree with them. i like their knowledge of baseball. And lastly . Please do not name call.

If the Republicans are truly interested in cutting spending they will choose a Nutting!

I find it funny how most Republicans deny Bush #2 these days. All of a sudden everyone that voted for him is a fiscal conservative. Ignore the fact that the first bailout was Republican and Democrat. Ignore that spending went through the roof under his administration and a republican congress. Yet when he was in office, the man could do no wrong in their eyes. Just because he wasn't a Democrat. Now they don't even see him as a fellow Republican.

They've gotten too used to their Republican constituents acting like sheep. I can't wait until they alienate enough people and pave the way for a viable moderate 3rd party.

Most Conservatives were denying Bush for the better part of 3 years starting in late 2005 to him throwing the mid term election in 06 by firing Rumsfeld 3 days after the election to him not vetoing one spending bill in his entire two terms to his willingness to leaving the borders wide open while we were supposed to be fighting a war on terrorism to the bailouts of the financial sector.

Who was I supposed to vote for? Al Gore? He's proven to be looney tunes. John Kerry? Well, I'm not sure he would have been an worse then Bush's second term, but I wasn't voting for Bush's second term, I was voting the for Bush from the first term.

So I don't I have hang my head at all about my votes for Bush and I don't hang my head about my vote for McCain, because the other options were so terrible.

By the way, I love how we nominated every Democrats favorite Republican as our presidential nominee and then all of a sudden he was a Conservative Biggot that was shoulder to shoulder with W and now that the election is over, he is moderate John McCain again, favorite useful idiot for the left.

Thank you very much, but conservatives win elections not Democrat Light, because if you want a Democrat then you vote for one, not a Democrat masked as a Republican. So your thoughts of the empending death of the conservative movement might be a little premature, which you are probably used to.

"If the Republicans are truly interested in cutting spending they will choose a Nutting!"

Okay, that was pretty good.

I don't know who you are talking to, but I like George Bush II and I still like him. He is orders of magnitude better than what we have now.

I fail to see how Gore or Kerry could have been worse than Bush. What else could they have done?

Imo, we probably wouldn't be in Iraq right now if Gore is elected. We probably would have taken care of the war in Afghanistan by now. That alone would have made him a better president.

And the McCain stuff is his own fault for pandering and letting his handlers control him. 2008 McCain was a completely different person. He was as much of a "maverick" as Obama was "change".

"I fail to see how Gore or Kerry could have been worse than Bush." Well right after 9/11, Gore or Kerry would have formed a special commision to complete a 1 year study to "establish the reasons why they hate us so much" and to come up with ways that America could apologize for all of our transgressions. However, before the commission could finish their work, we would have had 3 more terrorist attacks in Chicago, D.C., and Los Angeles. Instead, Bush sent them a loud and clear message that they still remember today. , and viola, no more airplanes are flying into buildings.,

Isn't that what they've done the last three elections? The GOP has sent nothing to the Ballot for President and yet they won twice.

Here is one of the most accurate post ever defining the difference between a conservative and a liberal:

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy...
A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a black man or Hispanic are conservative, they see themselves as independently successful.
Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they dont like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless its a foreign religion, of course!)

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed.
If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.

If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

Pretty much sums it up perfectly, nice post!

mac:

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Very funny.

Both Gore and Kerry at least saw time over seas in uniform. I doubt either would have done anything differently regarding Afghanistan. Well, other than take away resources for Iraq. They probably wouldn't have done that.
