OT Landslide or not?
Indeed, and more to the point here, this group would be far better
off, more enjoyable, and more popular, if those involved ceased abusing it, ( thus imposing, or attempting to impose, their will on others), and allowed it to return to its original purpose. Their consistent refusal to do so merely indicates their contempt for others, and in many cases their entirely miserable and debased characters. |

Who knows? You might then also be a great deal happier as well. Yes I definitely do realize the former but pls also remember that those rights exist within *parameters - to a pointt at which one becomes relevant or threateming to the powers that be.

What is indisputable, IMO, is that the Democrats' political fortunes over the Republicans from the 2006 elections until now constitute a political landslide of Biblical proportions. From the Republicans controlling the presidency and both houses of Congress, and speculating (and gloating) about a permanent majority, they've come to this sorry pass -- a regional party with deep divisions and no compelling message but the same old same-old. Now it's up to the Democrats to show that they can get the bus out of the ditch and govern effectively. And if the past is any indication at all, what they will actually do is sue the bus manufacturer for making unsafe products while raising its taxes 50%, ramming unionization down its throat, and requiring it to switch to only making buses that run on avocado pits and pass-their-prime bean sprouts, thereby putting it out of business. They'll then loot a truck manufacturer to pay the former employees not only their former wages, but give them a big raise as a "stimulus" and make it illegal for mortgage companies to foreclose on their houses and cars when they fail to make payments...and they'll pay them via prepaid Visa cards...of which they'll **** up the distribution... HTH, R Gosh, for such a nonpartisan guy you sure are worked up. Worked up? Ya know, I've never understood that - how people think they can tell "worked up" from "calm" via the written word of people they have never even talked to, much less actually know. IAC, believe me or don't, but I can't ever remember being "worked up" while reading or posting to ROFF (or doing anything like it) - it's just not the way I'm wired, if you will. Against my better judgment, I'll ask you a serious question (while not expecting a serious answer). Do you want our President-elect to succeed? Absolutely. I want _every_ US POTUS to succeed. At least by my definition of success. But the biggest hurdle he faces is not the economy, the wars, Iran, al Queda, energy, or anything like that. It's divisiveness - it's assholes like Emanuel, Limboob, Carville, the Clintons, Rove, Reid, Wright, Jackson, Farrakhan, etc., and it's not mainly GOP _or_ Dem, it's pretty evenly spread around among the parties. He claimed to see the US as one and pledged to run that way. He didn't. He also pledged to govern that way. It remains to be seen what he does. And I sincerely hope he succeeds...and IMO, while it won't be proof of success, it'll be a pretty good sign if most of Congress disagrees with him, but is too scared of the public to cross him. And if he does succeed, there will be "MObama" (Hmmm...Copyright, RDean....) signs on everything I own come about 2011... TC, R ....and for the record, the only political sign, sticker, etc. that I owned or possessed this election was a single Obama poster/sign, and I displayed none at all, nor have I ever in my adult life, either for or against. I did have, and still have, a fair amount of Carter stuff, the only "political message" material I've ever owned, save, now, the single Obama sign. |
