Our minister spoke of this campaign as being the most contentious in history. We spoke to him after the service of campaigns in the 19th and 20th centuries. It seems that most folks regard themselves as the center of history. The most, the best, the worst, the least in history; all of these are usually an expression of the extremes of the speaker's life as altered by the speaker's world view. There is nothing different with this article. The writer is blissfully ignorant of history.
I take it he knows very few people ......
And why is that guy walking around with a street sign coming out of his hardhat??
They aren't call Rent-A-Mob for nothing.
Yes they are and it's good to see the learning curve on FR!
I myself have benefited greatly from being a member.
Oh yeah, and calling the President a liar, and idiot, stupid, etc. was positive right?
The boys and girls on DU are sold on the idea that a draft will have to occur. They freely discuss techniques for getting their children out of it when it occurs. They expect only the worst.
They really are flummexed right now. They're examining every possible reason for why they lost except for the possibility that America just ain't buyin' what they're sellin'. Their universe has been turned upside down. Great despair and gnashing of teeth....
I wonder whether one of the students loaned him lunch money.
I wonder if the media didn't cover the story because New York, California, and Washington, DC, were never battleground states. The only presidential political ads that I saw in California were those run as news on the cable talk shows, and the national ads that ran on some cable channels. I hear that the ratio was like 3:1 political ads:soap ads in states like Pennsylvania and Ohio, but did the anchors and newsmag reporters see it from their cozy living rooms in Manhattan or DC?

I couldn't help but notice that this guys name is very close to the Russian word for "comrade"...

"but you've literally got to beat the sh*t out of John Kerry sometimes to get him where you want him to go,"
And that's just what the voters did.
like my dad used to say, " A billion here and a billion there, pretty soon, you are talking real money!"
