PONDERING THEIR LOSS: DEMOCRATS LOOK BACK (they still don't get it?)
NY POST ^ | 11/13/04 | LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Posted on 11/13/2004 3:16:13 AM PST by Liz

Peter Beinart was even more hysterical than usual this week ("The Right Way out of the Wilderness," Opinion, Nov. 6). He alleged that there was "conservative anti-Americanism" following the failure to impeach Bill Clinton. What is he talking about? Whatever you think of the impeachment, it was not "anti-American." It was merely holding a lying, degenerate scoundrel to account. When that becomes anti-American, we are doomed. Joe Santora Manhattan

*****

John Kerry's stances on the issues were strictly out of the past. His economic policies were Keynesian. His foreign-policy solutions were a product of 1960s thinking. His trade policies were a pre-Depression relic. And his solutions to social problems were from the New Deal mentality that looks to government first to solve every problem. In his 1996 re-election campaign, Clinton spoke of building a bridge to the 21st century. Kerry's policies would have brought us back to the 20th century. Albert Paparesta Brookfield, Conn.

*****

Where were these astute critiques and pearls of wisdom before Kerry's stunning defeat last Tuesday? Most of Beinart's columns, with regard to the race for president, as I recall, consisted of not much more than strident, liberal Bush-bashing. Only now does he want to offer thoughtful advice to his candidate. Wednesday morning quarterback, anyone? Tommy Drennan Jersey City, N.J.

My goodness...if the DemocRATs don't "get it", that's GREAT NEWS!

There will (very sadly) be more than a few good hearted folks who are DUPED
when Hillary starts her transformation into a religious, Christian
legislator for her run in 2008.

I heard (fairly honest) Democrat Morton Kondrake (sp?) say that Hillary
was more than capable of this sort of fakery.

Thanks, I wasn't aware that Einstein is credited with this great statement:

Send them anyway.

Canada just doesn't want anyone with a work ethic and a moral core value system.

As long as they insist on looking back, they cannot possibly go forward and heal the rift in our nation.

What the Democratic Pols and Officials and voters did reminds me of a story.

Elderly Husband and wife, out for a drive.
Wife, looking out window, starts wistfully chiding her husband about the good old days.

When they rode in the car, shoulder to shoulder, sitting right next to each other. My how she longs for that again.

Her husband looks over and says, "I'm not the one who moved."

We had 101 reasons that justified taking out Saddam's brutal dictatorship.

Everyone in the nation, both Dems and Repubs and other, all sided with President Bush after 9/11 and said, "Whatever you want, you got it. Take care of this."

And he has. But along the way, the Dems 'moved to the window'.

too late. She already started. She saw the influence , according to the media, and she ain't no dummy.

However, it wasn't the religious Christians who made the difference, from what I learned.

It was the concern over 9/11 happening again with Kerry vs. Bush, and the fact that Kerry was unable to state ANYTHING CLEARLY about any issue. Even athiests want a President to whom YES means YES and NO means NO.

Siberia would be good for the DemonicRats who live in the warmer climates of America.

P.J. O’Rourke is his assessment of a liberal: “At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic, and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.”

despotic and useless

ROFLMAO!   I wish I'd started taking notes a long time ago.

I think Rats are more demented than children, though.

Hi Bunker-

Posted by InABunkerUnderSF:
"...Bush won a majority of votes among college graduates, people with some college and high school graduates. The only educational groups Kerry won were high school dropouts and people with graduate school degrees. So, if you're not a dropout or an academic, you probably voted for Bush..."

If you could provide a supporting URL for this information, that would be a HUGE help for me at work! My liberal coworkers have been advising me how the "enlightened, intelligent" sections of the country voted for Senator Kerry while the "hayseeds" voted for the re-election of President Bush.

My feeling is that it was really red STATES for President Bush vs. blue CITIES for Senator Kerry. Perfect examples are places like California, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New Jersey which were predominantly conservative with highly-concentrated splotches of liberal voters looking for a handout.

Any help you can provide on this documentation would be sincerely appreciated!

LOL. I don't feel sorry for Kerry. I know that he is a traitor to this country, and I won't forget that. The media who wanted him to win so bad don't like the guy personally and are pretty much saying so now. They just wanted to get a leftist elected even if he was a half nuts arrogant fool. And they say we are stupid?
