The other side may be euphoric, but the intensity of their happiness can't match the intensity of our despair. Honest conservatives, even those who admire President Bush, know he didn't earn a second term. They know he staked his presidency on a catastrophe, and that, by all rights, Iraq should be his political epitaph. Their victory, while sweet, can't be fully enjoyed because it isn't fully deserved.

But cultural sensitivity is one thing; principle is another. In their attempts to win rural voters, Democrats have already essentially abandoned gun control. That doesn't keep me up at night. But gay marriage is different. The fact that it is widely unpopular cannot obscure the fact that it is morally momentous and morally right...

Translation: "I been down so long ... it looks like up to me."
After reading such sentiments I must say: It does NOW! :)
"Their victory, while sweet, can't be fully enjoyed because it isn't fully deserved."
You got part of that right, I'm still seething because of the wild, vicious, obscene charges leveled by the Dem crowd.
I'm also angry and may never get over the fact that the NY Times, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, etc. campaigned openly for Kerry and planted forged documents in order to discredit my President.
I think I am going to stay mad and can only hope that in 2008, whoever the Dems run - my objective is to help cause the next Dem concession speech - that is my life's goal.
What a waste of bandwidth.
I sure haven't seen many "What Went Right"-type articles in the mainstream press in regard to Bush's strategy and victory.
Zactly! The darkness cannot understand the light.
President Bush more than earned his second term. In fact he has earned and 3rd and 4th term.
He earned it at the very least for being who he is and that is a decent and kind human being.
So people have a face with the name.
The clown has no clue what a conservative is.
Nor does he understand honesty.
Funny, ain't it, all these hysterics on the left about gay marriage, and G.W. still picked up 25% of the gay vote.
"Honest conservatives, even those who admire President Bush, know he didn't earn a second term."
LMAO. Good grief, what total cluelessness. Hey, clown! Listen up. Your side lost because you people are so far out of touch with basic American reality that you actually believe crap like this.
George Bush won because the majority of America supports him and supports what he stand for. Read that carefully and then right it on your hand so you can recall it later.
Liberals will never come to grips with what this country is all about.
The only Lib politician to even remotely grasp the concept is Bill Clinton, and he had to completely fake it.
kerry earned perpetual disgust and eternal disdain
This type of discussion has been going on for the last two day and it's tiresome--the presumtion that sKerry should have been elected just because he was the nominee. That's outrageous! President Bush has been an excellent President, surrounded by extremely capable people, he has wisdom and class and deserved a second term.
I am an honest conservative and believe me HE EARNED IT.
Over 59 million people say he earned it - he got more votes than any other candidate in the history of this nation - he got 51% of the popular vote which was more than Clinton got in both his reelections.
He has a mandate and will act accordingly thank you very much.
Now,Katrina et al at NR shut up move to France and leave real people alone.
They need to rething that.
Who in the hell reads this rag?????????????
"You idiots actually believe that gay marriage is morally right? No wonder why you can't figure out why you lost so badly: you're too dumb to live."
Maybe they have a coach telling them, "okay, now breath in, okay, now breath out".
Har! That was my first thought, too.
