GOP Teeshirts

I wish I could link to one shirt specifically, but I guess not. Check this out ... I really like the "A person of tolerance and diversity keyed my car" one. Fucking classic, eventhough it kinda pisses me off.

Because it points out how hypocritical the attitude of my party can be. Although damn, it's funny. Might get that for my dad as part of his x-mas stack.

Who would have thought I'd be hooking people up with GOP slogans? Well, it's about 5. I ought to key the Product Development Manager's car before he leaves.

the joy in winning is the ability to rub it in the loser's/losers' face(s)...

No point. I don't think the democrats can get much lower. Hell, one moron killed himself at ground zero for fucks sake...

Rob, if the election had been more like '88 where only one state was blue, you would have a valid point. (Or maybe it was 84?)

re-read that article about the kid who killed himself because of the election... not once does it even suggest where it got the information to point to the election as the reason for his suicide... in fact, it sounds to me like they immediately ran to the family and asked 10 different forms of "So, your son/brother/fiance said he would kill himself if Bush got elected?" and NOBODY gave them the soundbite they wanted, so they wrote the story anyway!

No mention of a note, no family member or friend actually saying they think it had something to do with the election...

John Kerry was the best candidate the Democrats could field this election, and he wasn't that great. He was no Al Gore.

I have spent the past four years listening to people complain about how Bush stole the election from Gore, but at least then there was the slightest chance they might be right. This time, the Dems just got beat. They had a lackluster candidate whom Middle America despised, and Bush won the election and the popular vote. No voter fraud, hanging chads, uncounted military ballots, Supreme Court intervention, none of it.

With this election, it's finally clear that Bush is who at least half of the country wants, and that's just how democracy works. Complaining about the outcome at this point doesn't make you sound cheated, it makes you sound spoiled because you couldn't have your way. I have spent the past four years listening to people complain, and I'm tired of it.

Democrats shouldn't be in a state of despair. Bush's victory in the popular vote was 3%: the worst win an incumbent has had since 1916. Eisenhower, Reagan, even Nixon were re-elected with much larger margins. In fact, this election wasn't decided by the people who supported their candidate, but the people who opposed the other guy. What the Democrats need to do in the next two years is find someone that the party can mobilize behind. Someone that people will support for who (s)he is, and not because they don't like the other guys. Though he won't be ready for the White House in 2008, Barack Obama comes to mind: people like him a lot, and not just because he's not a Republican. When you find a candidate that people are excited to support, you do more good for your party than all of the voter drives and bumper stickers money can buy.

That aside, this man's death is a tragedy; suicide is never, ever the answer. But if someone's going to kill himself over the outcome of this election, then I think they're taking the easy way out. And if that's the case, at least I won't have to hear them complain.

Here's the real reason people like Osama: he doesn't have a Senate vote record yet. At any rate Mike, who's complaining? I don't feel like the Democrats were robbed, but I think they did pretty well in this election as well. Rob > It was 51-48 ... not 99-1.

[edit, after reading linked article]Oh, all the traumatized people in Florida are complaining. Well, you can't have a room full of Democrats without a handful of total pussies.

No shit jackass. Now explain to me what reality has to do with these bellyaching dipshit moonbats? I know what the score was and they apparently do not.

Here's a linq for you Dan. There, you happy now?

Now to reiterate my point: There is no point rubbing Bush's victory in your faces because there are those among you that can't be made more upset. No one could possibly ask for more than for the opposition to start killing themselves. Of course that is unless they would be willing to change some of their political views. But that?s not going to happen now is it? Razz
