Biggest loser: The Religious Right. But they had been winning for the last eight years, so they needed a loss.

Yeah, but they scored victories with their anti-gay amendments.. Funny, they never seem to have victories without screwing somebody else over.

Biggest winner: Obama. I mean who would of thought America would elect a black guy with Hussein as his middle name, certainly not me. It helped that he went to Harvard Law and was the editor of the Harvard Law Review. I think the Colin Powell endorsement settled some people's fears too.

Biggest joke: Sarah Palin.

 

you think we won the last 8 years? We suffered through so much shit.... or bush, and a mentally challenged congress. But when you have to vote between a giant douche, and a turd sandwich, you choose the giant douche.

 

 

Do any left-wing people honestly think the religious right like this situation? We voted for a leader who promised big, somebody we believed in, a leader who seemed really great for the job.... At the start..This is ultimately the situation with Obama, except people usually learn from history, especially recent history.

Do you think we like seeing our country decline?

The Religious Right is a small but vocal minority within the Republican Party.  Generally, they are more concerned with social policy towards issues like abortion, gay rights, religion in public places, etc. than they are about any kind of foreign policy or other domestic policy, though they do tend to be reliably pro-war.  The appointment of Supreme Court Justices is arguably the thing they are most concerned about.

Religious Right =/ The Republican Party.  And unless you are a Bible thumper you are probably not a part of this group.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

There's a huge difference. In the end, Gore won it but the Supreme Court decided otherwise. All you had to do was - look at the string of failed businesses and the carnage that clown left behind in Texas. He governed horribly ... and to think he'd do a better job with the country than his state? Insane in the membrane.

It's not that much better to not even spend a full term in a major government job before going for the big one. That just strikes me as arrogance. If he had spent a few more years proving he could do this kind of job, I'd be fine with it.

That is a good thing. Spread the wealth. Reducing poverty, reduces crime. Everyone prospers. Socialism FTW.

Poor people only commit crimes because they have no money and are forgotten by society. Give everyone a fair go.

No, no one prospers, but everyone lives an ok life. That's the problem with Socialism. You can' fall too far, but you can't rise to high. Some people don't see why that's a bad thing.

And if your logic was right, rich people would never commit crimes.

I actually think poor people commit more crimes because things hold no value to them. The more you give to a people, and the less they earn it, the less they value it (as they should, because it has less value). Give people homes, and what do they care about another mans home?

The way to keep crime high, is more social programs, not less.



Oh yea, one of the biggest losers of all: Al Sharpton
