All this Republicans gloating is like White Star Lines crowing about how fast the Titanic will cross the Atlantic. The GOP is going to destroy America.

[JohnT]

You bumped this thread for that?

[DRoseDARs]

Like I've been saying, that would be good for this country. Let the Republicans have free reign to run roughshod over every USAmerican sense of descency for the next 4 years and then the general population will vote Democrat/Independant for the next 40 years.

[JohnT]

Didn't y'all say that 4 years ago? In 1988? 1984? 1980?

[DRoseDARs]

I was conceived in 1980, was 3 years old in 1984, was in 1st grade in 1988, and voted for Nader in 2000 as Bush was a Republican and Gore gave me the Blahs. Does that answer your question?

Word.

[Ben Kenobi]

Bush won because he got the fundie vote out.

What was that?

Does that mean Rove was right about all the evangelicals who stayed home in 2000?

[Zkribbler]

If only it were so. But the awful truth is that Bush's percentage of the vote increased more in blue states than in red states.

I think the basic problem with we Dems is a general disconnect between us and rural America. 2,500 of the U.S.'s 3,000 counties voted for Bush. While we won big in the 500 urban counties, we're pariahs out there in the countryside.

[Drake Tungsten]

At least Zkribbler can see the problem. The rest of you should listen to him.

[chequita guevara]

**** the rural areas. They suck at our teets, in addition to what we pay them for our food.

[DRoseDARs]

Not to mention spite the hand that pays the taxes that feeds them.

And the democrats will do what differently exactly? The Republican's guy won the high school popularity contest, deal with it.

(1) Move the tax burden off the middle class and back to were it belongs -- on the people who can afford it.
(2) Protect the environment.
(3) Provide affordable health care.
(4) Return to the pay-as-you-go system in Congrss.
(5) Redirect war efforts back onto al Qaeda.
(6) Repair damaged alliances.
(7) Fund public education.
(8) Fund Homeland Security.
(9) Protect Civil Rights.

(1) Raise taxes(in principle I do not disagree that they will need to be raised).
(2) More regulations on industry(a non-issue at this point unless you fail on other tasks).
(3) Increase spending further.
(4) I don't see any spending cuts just yet,so doubtful.
(5) As far as I can see we are going after Al Qaeda all over the world. Unless you were planning something as retarded as moving troops into the Pashtun Tribal areas.
(6) The French et all are going to have to meet us 1/2 way on this one I'm afraid.
(7) It already is being funded. There comes a point where throwing more money at something isn't going to do the trick.
(8) See above, but will you make the decisions on what can and can not be done to actually have Homeland security(Getting control of our borders,changing the way cargo is moved into the US by either moving ports around, passing something like GB's Navigation acts,etc?)

[edit] Not what you wish the democrats would do, what they would do.[/edit]

[edit2]you forgot free trade harder, because Bush and the republicans are all a bunch of protectionists [/edit2]

I have dealt with it. I've decided to buy the city of Opa-Locka. If Americans are too stupid to give a **** about their children's future, why should I care? I've decided to get rich and screw you all. I think I'll even cackle about it when I control the Republican Party with my future wealth.
