What say you?
You say re: Franken-Coleman race: "Well, actually, it pretty much does. To win, you have to get more votes than the other guy." OK, but on election night Coleman had MORE votes AND after the second recount, Coleman STILL had more votes than Franken. Did you read the information in the blockquote? And did you read the linked information?
Win by a larger margin and you don't have these worries.
Um, no. George W. Bush "reshaped" conservative thought to hate Bush.
Nonsense. The Right was had by the MSM. It was a typical divide and conquer agitprop operation. Lots of people warned people like you at the time, but they were not listened too.
Just the way you characteris the WOT is the tip off that you have been had.
Pace the war and TARP issues, Bush campaigned on those issues. You were just not listening. He knew what these doctrinaire conservatives do not: Conservatives are a distinct minority in the USA today.
Hey,I do not know if you noticed, but the electorate just elected a "Afro-American" named "Barak Hussein Obama" in the middle of a war with Muslim, who, to anyone who was listening, was identifying himself as a Marxist by spouting Leftist cant from day one. It is not then 1980's. Americans do not want "small government", at least not yet, though Obama does get one's hope up. Franken stole an election out in the light of day. I did not see a lot of outrage out of the American voter. Did you?
Bush was trying to stop a hard left take over, he was trying to get to higher goals. He compromised and played the center.
Now look what we have. Did doctrinaire Conservatives accomplish anything worth all of this? Anything with this punish the impure tactics? Seem pretty fould to me, what they "accomplished"?
And those that hope for a 1994 style victory for the GOP next will be deeply disappointed. I expect the MSM to play the same card with the Tea Parties as they did the last two elections with the duller GOP voters, this time using the Tea Parties. No doubt either the Tea Parties or the GOP will "not be conservative enough". They will get the same results as they did by pitting conservatives against GWB.
No doubt this too will be "Bush's fault".
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. What is WOT? What does "Afro-American" have to do with anything?
Are you saying that conservatives were brainwashed by the media? If so, sorry, but I do not buy that crap. People are more than capable of thinking on their own 2 feet. And if they are actually influenced by the MSM, then that's a very sad statement about the American people (particularly conservatives).
Worth all of what? Are you blaming conservatives for Bush's left-wing policies and Obama's too?
Bush's domestic policy was progressive policy (so was his foreign policy). In truth, Obama is just continuing what Bush started - Spend, Spend, Spend ... Government Will Save Your Soul!
