U.S. conservatives gunning for the presidential payoff (after four-day orgy of Republican euphoria)

The bar has been set, and Democrats are spooked.

Boo.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

4 day orgy ?

[goldstategop]

Liberals can't believe they're living in a nightmare. I'd love to see DU shuttered permanently but it won't happen.

[goldstategop]

A conservative bacchanalia has liberals uptight and acting like prudes. Life's funny when those who've done so much to make a mess of this country whine about it being put right again.

[mainepatsfan]

Can you imagine how the Dems will feel if they lose even more seats during the 2006 elections?

[TalBlack]

"Newly emboldened"?

Where has this idiot been for 20 years?

'Newly emboldened' means "wow, now even I'm starting to get it: we're LOSERS!

[sgtbono2002]

Yeah aint it great? At least it isnt the Homosexual orgy it would have been if the liberals had won.

[BushCountry]

four-day orgy

Methinks he has the partys confused. This belongs in a conversation about Dems.

[CBart95]

The depth of Lib-Demo-leftwing depression will be enormous as sore losers attempt to exagerate the "Conservative" glee and wild euphoria they see everywhere. Underneath all this "doom and gloom" is their sullen, black determination to fight it all to the death.
The battle is far from over. Nothing has been "won". "White bread America" has categorically rejected the nonsense of the left-wing elitists who had blindly assumed that the "flyover states" didn't count.
They were wrong. Tee Hee!

[starfish923]

Screed.
Inaccurate, as so many screeds are.

Fun to see this. It shows how enraged the left still is. Screeding lefties lose elections.
Hey, that sounds catchy, don't it?

[truthchaser]

The party is rethinking its longstanding pro-choice position on abortion, wondering whether it, too, has to find religion to connect in 2008.

I overheard a couple of lunchroom Libs in my office echoing this sentiment, saying all their leaders have to do is to bring up God in their speeches and sound bites. They just don't get it. Their contempt for Christianity is so transparent when they suggest that faith in God and the belief that morality is fundamental and absolute is just a talking point, or that the voters in our country who strive to put religion and values first in their lives are so "simple-minded" and "nonintellectual" to be swayed by rhetoric and poli-talk. I've always loved this verse where we are reminded of the great gift of faith, where it comes from, and where it resides.

Jeremiah 31:33-34 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD:

Conservatives won, Liberals lost. Now get over it!

By the way, if Conservative values are so bad and archaic, why is it that some in your leadership are now talking about adopting some of them. Is it just to win elections or do you really believe in those values ? Wait never mind I forgot we're talking about rats, I think I already know the answer.

[yoe]

Evangelicals and ``faith-based'' groups are looking to Bush...

That is in part true. However, many other factors elected President Bush, perhaps the most pronounced are that George W. Bush loves America; believes in America and is an American.

John Kerry can make none of those claims, he may try, but they won't stick. Today he is in France, doing the work of ???? - Perhaps the United Nations, where his (Kerry) true allegiances are.

Kerry is a Socialist – Bush is an American patriot. Why can’t the left understand this?

[Amanda75]

hello, hello, anyone out there, I wrote to this guy and ask him if he could imagine what would be going on in DC if Kerry would have won, with his witch, oops, I mean wifes billions.

This stuff about spending too much is just demos whining and crying, not a mention would have been made if one of them was being sworn in, enough, we won, you lost

[winodog]

Its unreal. First they whine because the President shuts down early and nobody is partying all night like they did in the old days of slick willie. That was real party and real "orgy" even in the WH sink.

Now the reps are evil neros for having a inaguration party

[MrBambaLaMamba]

"... Their fundamental beliefs have changed little with the times. They want gay marriage outlawed by the U.S. Constitution. They want the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade abortion rights decision overturned. They want abstinence taught over contraception and creationism over evolution. They want the airwaves, the cinemas and the Internet purged of all things perceived prurient ..."

He forgot to mention the ban on music and dancing.

Schadenfreude

Oh BS! While Bush may love America, so do many liberals, despite their misdirection. President Bush was elected largely, in fact almost entirely due to the activism of the Christian Right and the Evangelicals and their skillful use of wedge issues between believers and non believers. Now you as well as others want to diminish their roll, the same as we accuse democrats of not really acknowledging and doing things for their black voters once the ballots are counted.

4 day orgy ?

I better double up on my vitamins :)

[CzarNicky]

I'd love to see DU shuttered permanently but it won't happen. I wouldn't I love hearing the lamentations of their womyn.
