crashfrog writes: What was big about it? More people voted against Bush than have ever voted against any president, ever. Yeah, our agenda of "leave people the fuck alone." I can really see how that would be so objectionable to arrogant moralist busybodies such as yourself. I figured you to be one of the aforementioned left-wing liberal extremists who just doesn't get it.....boy did I have you pegged right. Just in case you mistakenly think I am wrong about what happened in this election, and to the Democratic party, I offer a few e-mails that have been posted at Instapundit that seem to support my contention that the left wing has virtually destroyed the authenticity of the Democratic party.
ERIC SCHEIE isn't so sure that reality is what the "reality-based community" has a grip on. UPDATE: Meanwhile at "reality-based" blog The Daily Kos, reality seems less important than, well, lying: And thus, the biggest silver lining of this election is how the GOP's victory is thus far being claimed, framed and explained. To that I say, "Let us join that chorus." And we should do so now, because there is immediacy in the post-election window of opportunity. Marching order #1, therefore, is this: No matter whom you talk to outside our circles, begin to perpetuate the (false, exaggerated) notion that George Bush's victory was built not merely on values issues, but gay marriage specifically. If you feel a need to broaden it slightly, try depicting the GOP as a majority party synonymous with gay-haters, warmongers and country-clubbers. Because I, for one, am tired of hearing whiny complaints from conservatives that, not only do I not have values, but that I fail to properly respect the values of people who are all too happy to buy into, no less perpetuate, inaccurate caricatures of the 54+ million Americans who voted Tuesday for John Kerry. Criticizing the GOP ain't gonna build us a new national majority. But the process is brick by brick, or perhaps, brickbat by brickbat. We didn't decide the rules of engagement, but that's what they are and so we may as well start firing away. This doesn't strike me as a very productive approach, but the post is certainly revealing. and.....
On Tuesday, a majority of the American electorate took a look at their party and asked, "Who are these people?" Who are George Soros, Michael Moore, Tim Robbins, Susan Sontag, Teresa Heinz Kerry and all these other self-anointed spokespersons for everything good and true? And what does a party that is dominated by a loose coalition of the coastal intelligentsia, billionaires with too much spare time, the trial lawyers' association, the Hollywood Actors' Guild, rock stars and unionized labor have in common with what's quaintly known as Middle America? The majority's answers were (a) not us; and (b) not a whole lot. Growing up in Topeka, Kansas (where my dad still lives), and now living in Denver, this is pretty much what my friends and associates are thinking, too. What I'm hearing from the Democrats is that middle America voted on moral values, which I take to be code for "they are a bunch of ignorant, bible thumping sheep". There seems to be a lot of hand wringing over how they could have better conveyed their message to the Midwest, and an arrogance that if they had, Kerry would have won in a landslide. What the Democrats don't understand is that yes, we do understand your message, and we reject it. and.....
The Democratic Party--my party--has finally become nothing more than the party of cognitive dissonance. That is why, like Zell Miller and a large fraction of usually Democratic middle America, I backed the other side on this one. . . . Mainstream media bragged of being able to boost the Dems by 15 percent (do you remember Newsweek saying that?). The "blogosphere" has been crowing that MSM failed to do so (for which the blogs also claim responsibility), but I don't agree. I think the MSM actually succeeded in bringing the Dems a 10 to 15 point boost in the election (and maybe more). Before the media spin machine started systematically slamming Bush 18 months ago, he was favored at around 66% in the polls. 66% minus 15% is...well...the 51% margin Bush was re-elected by. Thing is, even the thinly veiled support of most major media outlets wasn't enough to put Kerry in the White House. The Democratic party has completely, utterly, undeniably marginalized itself. The Dems no longer have a national party. All it takes is one look at the electoral map to illustrate that. The so-called "Purple Map" may make them feel better, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. A party that can only win in the Northeast and Left Coast is not a national party anymore. A party that manages to lose by 3 percent even with a huge boost from blatantly partisan favorable media coverage is on its deathbed politically. and.....
It only takes a 3% swing to lose the executive. Bold is good when you have a mandate. But bold must be in programs that are likely to have positive MEASUREABLE results. Other wise you sow the seeds of your next defeat. Remember the middle. It is where you win and lose elections. and.....
53% of those voting in the state were women, 47% men; 28% came from union households, 72% non-union households; 36% had college degrees, 64% did not. ... 38% identified themselves as Republican, 35% Democrat, 27% independent. From another view: 31% said they were conservative, 20% liberal and 49% moderate. Some 54% approved of the job Bush has done as president, 46% disapproved; 56% said the nation is safer from terrorism than four years ago, 42% said it is less safe. The top issues for voters: Moral values (for 21%) and terrorism (20%), followed closely by economy/jobs (19%) and Iraq (18%). Like I said before, let me spell it out for all of the left-wing liberal morons who have hijacked the Democratic party.....
"IT'S THE MORAL DECLINE OF AMERICA, STUPID!" .....not to mention the disgusting disintegration of the once honorable, and moral, Democratic party. Deal with it, you left-wing liberal losers! The theory of evolution is a viable theory, absent the myth of macroevolution.
Once the myth of macroevolution is included, the viability of the theory of evolution vanishes as it slowly evolves into just another example of an implausible story, nestled amongst the numerous fairytale's of our youth.-----DarkStar

Bush Wins Re-Election, Seeks Broad Support Wed Nov 3, 6:22 PM ET Politics - AP By RON FOURNIER, AP Political Writer WASHINGTON - President Bush claimed a re-election mandate Wednesday after a record 59 million Americans chose him over Democrat John Kerry and voted to expand Republican control of Congress as well. " You might want to look up the definition of the term "record" in order to get a better understanding of just how out of step with the reality of this election you truly are. See you in four years! The theory of evolution is a viable theory, absent the myth of macroevolution.

With that kind of enthusiasm for their country as a whole, it is difficult to fathom how the Democratic party actually lost the election. The theory of evolution is a viable theory, absent the myth of macroevolution.
