| VDH: The Day AfterLooking ahead to the coming battles. Here's one bit of advice:It seems to me that conservatives have a golden opportunity to offer criticism and advice in a manner that many liberals did not during the last eight years. By that I mean I hope there are no conservative versions of the Nicholson Baker Knopf-published ‘novel’ Checkpoint, the creepy documentary by Gerald Range, the attempt to name a sewer plant after an American President, or the celebrity outbursts that we have witnessed with the tired refrain of Hitler/Nazi Bush—that all have cheapened political discourse. When I hear a partisan insider like Paul Begala urging at the 11th hour that we now rally around lame-duck Bush in his last few days, I detect a sense of apprehension that no Democrats would wish conservatives to treat Obama as they did Bush for eight years. In the future, criticism should be offered in unified pro-American tones, rather than anti-Obama screeds. When disagreements arise, they should be couched in a sense of regret rather than ebullition. There should be no conservative counterparts of Bill Maher, Michael Moore, or Al Franken.I think that's about right. One line of attack that is now mostly past its expiration date is Ayers/Wright. I do not say that because these matters are unimportant. I say that because Ayers and Wright were harbingers as to how Obama might actually lead. Very useful in warning the country about an unvetted Marxist candidate. However, now he's been elected, and the country is even less interested in previews of his leadership, because they'll have tangible evidence of his leadership. Many of his policies, I expect, will be fairly decried as statist, socialist, and dissent-crushing, and the reminders about his tutelage at the hands of America-hating Marxists will serve us well, but the primary thrust changes from Who Obama Is to What Obama Does. And, unfortunately, I think we'll have no shortage of criticism regarding the last point. That said, I'm still pretty interested in knowing who wrote Dreams from My Father, or, as one reader called it, Bill Ayers' Dreams from Barack Obama's Father. And I'm not giving up on that Rezko land deal anytime soon -- a previous corrupt land deal turned out to be a rather big deal some years back. It's more a matter of emphasis. Because we have crucial policies to fight for -- like stopping, somehow, the left's creepy determination to stamp out free speech on talk radio. And perhaps on the internet as well. Ahead of a widely-expected crackdown on free speech and political dissent by the incoming Obama administration, our Dear Leader has appointed a new FCC transition czar to oversee the process. Henry Rivera, a longtime radical leftist, lawyer and former FCC commissioner, is expected to lead the push to dismantle commercial talk radio that is favored by a number of Democratic Party senators. Rivera will play a pivotal role in preventing Obama's critics from having a public voice during Obama's tenure in office. Rivera, who resigned from the FCC nearly a quarter-century ago during the Reagan years, believes in a doctrine of "communications policy as a civil rights issue".Insist on extending the "fairness doctrine" to network news and tv shows. Not that I wish that, either -- but insist on its general applicability to any broadcast medium. CommentsPosted by: Christoph at November 06, 2008 06:21 PM (hawOV) 2

Well, if you're looking for something else to add to your list of "Things to Check On" - how about chargebacks for credit card fraud to the Obama campaign? If the credit card company forgives the debt, is that an illegal campaign contribution? Wouldn't it be ironic if the first victim of the Barack Presidency is when the Barack for President 2008 Campaign files for bankruptcy? - oh, and the chick in the Bahamas. Her, too.

You can bet a load of cooters they are coming for the Internet. Free speech will be defined by the Marxist as that which emboldens Dear Leader. Any true criticism will be met with notification from DOJ that no ISP will provide connection to the backbone for the offender. It will be a punishable offense reminiscent of the Rape of Nanking.

Obama will need a new head for the Department of Political Paybacks. Ayers will be the first in line. "Hey bitch, I was cool, silent as a bomb that didn't go off, that I want a few nights in the Lincoln bedroom... and get the maids to line the floor with American flags that I can step on... then I want some pictures." Posted by: new at November 06, 2008 06:35 PM (MobLv) 24
Totally right about the Ayers/Wright thing. See, that was really the dumbest thing about the CBS/Texas National Guard memo thing. Even if the memo weren't fake, who cares? The only conceivable reason
that might have mattered was to bring into question his fitness for
being commander-in-chief. Well, duh, the guy already was commander-in-chief! And had been for almost four years! We knew how he'd do. He'd been doing it!
So, yeah, Bill Ayers/Rev. Wright bring into question Obama's judgment. But in four years time, we won't have to speculate about his judgment. We'll have actual results, which is all anyone should care about. Posted by: Famous J at November 06, 2008 06:35 PM (Egxmb) 25
I'm not sure about the vetting issue. I get the impression that all the bad news about Obama--why he shouldn't be the president--had gotten out by election day but that a majority of voters (like Seattle Slough) chose to ignore that information and vote for him anyway. They knew what they were getting and it was okay with them. Which I find even more troubling to than the notion that he was insufficiently vetted from the start.

The election basically wiped the slate clean on Ayers, Wright and company. The election basically said we will make you president despite of your associations.
Now, if Obama decides to continue the relationships with any of these losers while in office, that's another matter altogether. Invitations to the Lincoln Bedroom, etc. For the 2012 campaign, the judgment will be made about President Obama's four years in office. One thing to keep in mind, however, is how President Obama positions himself early for the next election. Look for organizations like ACORN to receive huge government funds in the ensuing years to get out the vote for Obama 2012. This partisan "non-partisan" organization played a major role in getting out the vote for Obama 2008, and it will only expand its role for the next campaign. With Democrats controlling Congress and the White House, there is really no police cop to stop the growth of ACORN. The Republicans must find a way to counter there impact and so far there is no effort to do so. Posted by: Michelle's American White Racist at November 06, 2008 06:36 PM (NLtVk) 29

I am truly conflicted. There is this http://tinyurl.com/5jfhxb which I saw over at the Corner - I still go there despite the anti-Palin faction. So now - now that their guy will be in charge - they think that we should get along and be friends. When our guy was in charge it was their DUTY, SIR, to obstruct, to be nasty, to hate. But let's let divisions go. NOW. This is just too much like the Democrat version of bi-partisanship, where Democrats get to be partisan, and Republicans get to be "bi." And NOW Chris Matthews thinks that his job is to help a Presidency succeed, because, you know, he's an American. NOW. On the one hand I think it is important to respect the President regardless of party, and we are in for some hard times ahead. But on the other hand, fuck those fucking cocksuckers. If they had shown any semblance of this in the past 8 years, maybe. I think I just talked myself into going all Kos on them.

Can you imagine if a conservative pulled this crap?
Emanuel is said to have "mailed a rotting fish to a former coworker after the two parted ways."[14] On the night after the 1996 election, "Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting 'Dead! ... Dead! ... Dead!' and plunging the knife into the table after every name." Posted by: Marcus Antonius at November 06, 2008 06:41 PM (d9SON) 35
5 At the risk of having my post childishly altered (again), how is Obama unvetted exactly? The details of everything you're about to write about have not been reported or presented for consideration by the electorate. I know more about Obama than any President Elect in my memory. That speaks to your memory. I know what elementary school he went to. That's a data point - so you know that Obama was enrolled in a Muslim school as a Muslim by an uncle? So, when Obama put up an ad about education that featured him in a modern, American classroom with an English alphabet on the wall and bright primary colors and he said "I grew up in a classroom like this." that he was lying? That kind of stuff? I have seen his birth certificate. Given the circumstances of his becoming incarnate, and the fact that an issue had been made of McCain's citizenship, Obama's birth certificate was relevant. I know all jobs and schools he has attended. This is, well, wrong. You know *of* the jobs and schools that he claims that he's attended. That's a Jeopardy! sort of knowledge. For example, do you know that there is not one shred of independent evidence that Obama attended Columbia University? Did you know that Obama was hired, because of his skin color, to work as a community organizer and assigned a specific community? Do you know that, while working as a community organizer, he left that community to work as a community organizer trainer? Do you know the circumstances of His becoming the Harvard Law Editor in Chief? The way that about 1/3rd of the Law Review applied for the position? Obama's late entry? His selection from among a pool of candidates throughout the course of a Saturday panel review? That he cooked the panel breakfast as part of the candidate pool? That Obama just-sorta-ended up as the selection rather than as a definitive choice? That, after his run as Law Review Editor that nobody can actually say just what the hell Obama accomplished? That knd of "vetting" stuff? I have seen his wife's college thesis. You know Cindy McCain had a drug problem. I know what his house looks like. But you don't know how he could afford it or the circumstances under which he acquired it. Give me a break. This guy has been put through the ringer [sic] so many times, they had to start making shit up about him to have something new to say. Sadly, no! Obama was selected (not elected) to be the Democratic nominee, who got to that position through an series of circumstances which ensured that he would never be vetted. Chicago state senator - part time gig Mentored by the political boss Gamed the system throughout his state office and Senate campaigns to ensure that there was no significant opposition. The only time Obama got roughed up was during Operation Chaos and - as far as political hardball goes - that was nothing. The only wonder of the campaign is that Chris Mathews didn't offer to give Obama an interview with a happy ending. You know, to relieve Obama's stress. But that's okay - you're about to learn about all the stuff that you should have known because Obama's the President-elect. Just do us the courtesy of not acting surpised. Fair enough? Posted by: BumperStickerist at November 06, 2008 06:41 PM (GuX8p) 36
I don't see why people are equating being civil with bending over and taking it in the pooper. One can be civil and still be a very strong critic. We'll win more people over to our way of thinking if we are not shrieking nuts. The media would love to show conservatives as crazed fanatics - lets not give them the opportunity. Press our new president on issues that matter to us - ABSOLUTELY. Do it in a way where we can easily be dismissed - NO.

I know more about Obama than any President Elect in my memory Is that so. I remember hearing Bush's grades while at both Yale and Harvard B school. I remember hearing about his membership in Skull and Bones. I remember hearing about his time in the National Gurard, even the parts the left faked. I remember his DUI, reported days before the election. I remember hearing about his problems with drinking and how he gave it up and became an evangelical/ Bush's life was an open book. What can you tell me about Obama's days at Occiental? How about at Columbia? Harvard Law? There is at least a decade of the man's life that were declared off limits, by him, and a willing press and the institutions he worked for and schools he attended helped him cover.

I'm really stunned at how Stalinist and thuggish the idea of the Fairness Doctrine is. Conservative opinion has one outlet, -one-talk radio, and that's because market forces have decided it. Now we're going to have government try and bully out the one area that's dominated by conservatives. That liberals are at all cool with that shows how intellectually insecure and myopic they are, and that their sops to "freedom of speech at all costs" is so much horseshit.

Conservatives don't engage in nearly the violent aggressive talk in which the far left engages. We're the "uptight" party: The party of the perpetually "unhip". Rush and Coulter are about as crazy as we get. They are comparatively tame. We are, as a party, "conservative". Self-indulgent hedonism isn't exactly what we are known for.

I’ve taken time to see your video and read some articles with respect to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mac, I just want to say thanks for opening up my eyes to this aspect. I think it is appropriate that apologize to the conservatives on this site for believing that the Bush Administration were responsible for this financial crisis as it seems that it lies largely with the complete lack of forsight by the Democratic congress particluarly Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. The sheer lack of understanding and appropriate leadership is unforgiveable. I still think the best man won but I definately agree that we will need to have a bipartisan government as the Democrats clearly have alot to learn from the republican party. ---- We need to stay on that as well since most ignorant voters had no clue who got us into the financial mess in the first place.

Seattle, you know trivia. I could know all those details about any candidate if I cared, which I pretty much don't.
By vetting we mean, for example, asking questions about what he did in Chicago. Where did the money he spent go? What did it accomplish? Was it just a coincidence that he sent government money to his wife's employer, and then she got a huge raise? Maybe so. But I don't know, and neither do you.

Agree that "associations" are no longer as relevant in terms of speculating on his true beliefs, policy desires or how he might lead, but any revelations that prove he LIED about his associations will definitely be relevant i.e. did Ayers write his memoir, full extent of Ayers relationship, is there evidence he was at Trinity during some of the tirades etc. And the research won't stop on 1) Rezko land deal 2) campaign financing 3) lost years at Columbia 4) ACORN connections And although this may prove to be somewhat less relevant depending on how he leads, I am surprised nobody pursued the point about the "my brothers keeper" rhetoric in relation to being friends with and supporting Rezko while his housing projects were complete failures and screwed the poor in Obama's Chicago district--did Obama ever confront Rezko or just look the other way?

(7) I saw that video and was totally disgusted. Not surprising, though. One of my daughter's friends had a teacher tell her Palin was a racist. Everyone should ask their kids if their teacher has said anything political and put a stop to it.
Oh, and my daughter wrote NOBAMA on her arm today. She had to wash it off. So, I am going to the school tomorrow and complain. Why? Because on Tuesday, I helped with Kid Vote and kids had Obama t-shirts on and wrote Obama on their arms. No problem there. Of couse, my sister and I didn't allow them to vote because the school wanted it to be as "real" as our election rules. I did ask one teacher, "What? They need ID to vote?" She didn't appreciate it. LOL. Posted by: incognito at November 06, 2008 06:59 PM (Rpam5) 70

find a way to counter there impact and so far there is no effort to do
so."
Agreed, and the answer is to create our own similar organizations. As we gather at the upcoming meet-ups, we should strategize on how to implement this. Their tactics have been successful so it make sense that we should do the same. And while we're at it we should read Alinsky's Rules for Radicals and everything else written by Ayers, Wright, etc. We should also download Obama's iphone application and join his website. They may have been flying under the radar previously, but their methods, tactics, and talking points are available to all. Posted by: Xenophon at November 06, 2008 07:01 PM (qrzXj) 73

We owe Hussein O the exact type of respect the democrats showed GWB, Chaney, McCain and Palin. They're not going to like our show of 'respect'. Well be on him like junebugs on a cowpile. Every word he says will be ran through the wringer. Some wise guy says Hussein O has been vetted. Ok, Show me a true copy of his birth record, show me his school records, Show me his work records where he and his terrorist buddy went through over a hundred million taxpayer dollars without one accomplishment. His record of associating with and lying about his terrorist and criminal friends are out there but covered up by the 'Chicago Mafia ran political machine'. Show me his legistative record in the U.S. Senate which supported America at all. His record of voting here to avoid making a decision is well known in Il. His record of voting to murder a living breathing baby in on file. Make it easy on yourself, just show us the one non-criminal accomplishment which qualified him for any office higher than street sweeper, make that assistant street sweeper. I'd like to invite him to visit, by himself, the far west county in Va which depends on coal. A lot of mine shafts are empty and he wouldn't make a dent in the bottom of a 1300 foot mine shaft, nor would he ever be found. When everyone gets cold and has no electric power don't call us. We will still have plenty of coal and the ability to heat and cook with it. I understand there is a big increase in gun sales across the country. Wonder why that is.

Bob Tyrrell became obsessed with digging into and exposing Clinton's past, thinking that in doing so he would bring him down. He failed. Instead Tyrrell very nearly went insane and his magazine temporarily went under. Maybe there's a cautionary tale for us in his experiences. On the other hand I do sincerely hope that some sort of conservative group is formed to dig into and expose the past of liberal scumbag journalists.

Uh, Seattle, you do realize that Palin was running for Vice President and not President, don't you?

And of course, you don't see anything unusual about that.
You're either delusional or a flat out liar if you insist that Obama was vetted more than any other candidate. I shouldn't rule out the possiblity that you are both. Posted by: JackStraw at November 06, 2008 07:08 PM (VW9/y) 88

Don't be too surprised that in addition to stifling free speech on the internet, they decide to start taxing the internet too. A few years back they wanted to tax e-mails. Under the theory that you had to buy a stamp for regular mail, e-mail should be regulated too. It was also touted as an anti-spam measure.
Yeah, on the whole issue of being civil. W. tried that, and look what it got him. So I say what goes around comes around. If they want peace they can surrender anytime they want. Otherwise he's fair game. As of Nov 4th anything that goes wrong in the world is Obama's fault. So while his deep dark past remains a mystery (is that racist?), land deals, Mistresses in Martinique REKAB AREV, drug use, tax fraud, campaign finance fraud, and voter fraud are all fair game.

Saw this on a blog today and it is spot on:
I’ve been amazed by all the left-wingers posting on right-wing blogs the past two days that we should all “shut up, you lost, get over it” and demanding that we end our divisive partisan behavior. These are the same people who have relentlessly bashed every move Bush made since before he even took office. They never gave Bush the slightest benefit of the doubt for eight years. Now they elect their most left leaning Senator, who sat in a racist church for 20 years, has questionable domestic terrorist connections, has ties to groups engaged in widespread voter fraud, took illegal contributions, spouted socialist ideals, repeatedly played the race card, was never vetted by the media, has the most outrageous postion on abortion imaginable, and is completely unqualified, but we are told to shut up and join with them in worshipping this man. Do they really believe we will now abandon our principles just because they are in power? Do they really believe that we are going to give Obama the passes that they never gave to George Bush for one second? If so, they better put down their bongs and face reality because IT’S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN! The left has fed the divisiveness and hate for eight years and now will have to lie in the bed they made.

Lindsey Grahamnesty on The Great Uniter's garrote-toter:
“This is a wise choice by President-elect Obama. “Rahm knows Capitol Hill and has great political skills. He can be a tough partisan but also understands the need to work together. He is well-suited for the position of White House Chief of Staff. I worked closely with him during the presidential debate negotiations which were completed in record time. When we hit a rough spot, he always looked for a path forward. I consider Rahm to be a friend and colleague. He’s tough but fair. Honest, direct, and candid. These qualities will serve President-elect Obama well. “Rahm understands the challenges facing our nation and will, consistent with the agenda set by President-elect Obama, work to find common ground where it exists. I look forward to working with him in his new position and will continue to do everything I can to help find a pathway forward on the difficult problems facing our nation.” The RHINO's are gonna be dicktuckers.

I'm all for taking the fight to the liberals but we would be wise to avoid doing so in red-faced anger. The media will not be as forgiving to us as it has been to liberals. We saw this in the last month of the election when the media portrayed conservatives at McCain rallies as violent racists. Calling for Obama to be impeached at the drop of a hat, calling him a Nazi and all the rest may make you feel better but it won't help our cause. Accurately articulating the negative impact that what any given Obama policy will have is more effective. They will respond to how we attack them. If our attacks are tinged with rage and are outlandish then they will respond by calling us nuts (with the medias support). If we attack them with reason and principled arguments then they must engage us in the arena of ideas - which is exactly where we want them.

I could not disagree more Ace.
We need to plant the seed -- that every time Obama makes a decision that harms the majority of the populace, we cite Wright, and God Damn America! and KKK of A! and his hatred of Whites in Ayer's Dreams of Obama's Father, as evidence that ... Obama hates Whites, here it is in action. Obama's GREATEST STRENGTH is he's Black. That can be also his greatest weakness. Since he cannot help pandering to White-baiting lunatics like Farrakhan and Wright. Obama is under constant pressure to prove he's "Black Enough" and the Dem Party has moved to an explicit "anti-White Guy" party. So, take advantage of that. Republicans will get ZILCH Black or Hispanic support. We ARE the party of White Guys, and married women, and the small number of Asians that live in this country. That is who we are. We should not be ashamed of it ... we should use it to our advantage. Obama is in fact a racist and we ought not to shy away from it. Starting now. Obama hates White Guys and wants to take their guns and Talk Radio away is an excellent message. Simple. Easy to remember and say. And ... TRUE.

The election was decided by the Supreme Court. The recounts continued well into his presidency. And guess what? He won. But you leftists continue to spread destructive lies about the 2000 election, which undermine people's faith in American democracy, and then you accuse Bush of being a divider.

Plus, Rossi obviously didn't have the ignominity of also winning the popular vote. SS, are all liberals as uniformed as you are? To start with I also live in King County and Rossi lost. The reason he lost is that his attornies did a terrible job for him. There were 1,800 illegal votes cast by felons, the judge agreed.

You want to know the truth? It won't matter what you do. They will still assault us with vile hate and specious arguments.

everyone wants to work together when they have the upper hand. We have learned thru Obama associations how he is going to lead. Don't believe that will change, it will be suttle and of course always in the name of civil rights. Don't let your guard down, still have a long road ahead. Yes I still want to know more about how deep he was into Ayers and Wright the public also needs to know especially how it relates to the decisions he makes. Remember Obama has an army of volunteers, we need to match that and stay on your congressman.
Also need ideas on how to change peoples minds regarding their plan of attack using civil rights as an issue of taking away our rights. Posted by: lions at November 06, 2008 07:39 PM (+q06x) 135
In the future, criticism should be offered in unified pro-American tones, rather than anti-Obama screeds. When disagreements arise, they should be couched in a sense of regret rather than ebullition. There should be no conservative counterparts of Bill Maher, Michael Moore, or Al Franken.
Yeah good luck with that. I do not hate I pity. I will figth with all ammo. I will be full on anti-liberal anti marxism from now until we are victorious.

There is simply no comparison with Bush who, by all accounts would have
lost the hand recount under any of the criteria had the recount not
been stopped by the Supes.
I'm vetting your bullshit better than your president-elect was. This is what is in Wiki under Florida election recount: The media reported the results of the study during the week after November 12, 2001. The results of the study showed that had the limited county by county recounts requested by the Gore team been completed, Bush would still have been the winner of the election. and The media recount study found that under the system of limited recounts in selected counties as was requested by the Gore campaign, the only way that Gore would have won was by using counting methods that were never requested by any party, including "overvotes" — ballots containing more than one vote for an office.

fighting like the Kossacks do will only turn off people we are trying to convince to come to our side. Really? Then how did acting like unhinged douchebags for the last 8 years get the far left almost veto proof majoirities in both houses of Congress and the White House? Some of you guys are still not getting it. There was no grass roots welling up against Bush. It was a highly coordinated effort by very wealthy people and included the msm to a large degree. There has been a lot of talk about astroturfing over the last few months of the election. Faking a grassroots uprising to make Obama look even more popular and inevitable than he was. Well guess what, the Shadow Party has been doing it to this country for years. Media Matters, Kos, ACT Blue and dozens and dozens more are all funded by the Soros machine. Didn't anyone ever wonder why messages would appear on virtually all left leaning blogs and places like Matthews and Olbermann almost simultaneously? Don't think big media has been involved? Read this. Look closely and you will see the name Henry Rivera. This is a war and inspirational messages or high minded debate alone are not going to get it done. They brought a knife.

Settle down, they will turn on each other soon. I agree that they’ll turn against each other soon. Obama has support from people with deeply varied interests. He has far left types that want socialism and moderate business people Dems that have been suckered into thinking he’ll govern like Clinton. He also has Hispanics and union voters who clash on immigration reform. Lastly, I think it’s important to not assume all Barry’s voters are true blue Kool Aid drinkers. He got a lot of votes from people who were motivated by their anti-Bush sentiments, desire for anything but more of Bush’s policies, and disgruntled centrist Dems that think Republicans are intolerant assholes. The truth is Barry’s core, most loyal coalition is made up of only three groups: Blacks, college kids and latte liberals. Everyone else is subject to disillusionment if we’re careful how we handle Barry’s presidency.

His pick of Rahm reminds me of his New Party membership. Rahm is his hardass sheepherding link to the Congress. the New Party was created because the Dem party just wasn't good enough for the purer lefties, and so they created a new party from which to launch from. It also links to his unwillingness to "spread the wealth" to help fund fellow Democrats.

What's the very first thing Obama will do in office?
He's going to instruct his new AG to 1) fire all of the conservative and moderate US Attorneys and 2) dig dirt on all Republicans (using FBI files and other sources a la Clinton) and begin investigations. That how he's going to get reelected -- by constantly keeping his political enemies on the defensive. So fuck all of this "let's work together" shit.

Fuck those fucking motherfuckers. VDH can kiss my ass. Let's review: Granny Nancy McBotox spent the last four years saying nothing but "failure, failure, failure." It got to the point where Ring Around The Collar was Bush's fault. She and Harry Reid declared the Iraq war LOST and tried their damnedest to lose it, all to score political points and turn Iraq into another Vietnam that the Democrats could run against for another 30 years. The entire Valerie Plame "scandal" was made up out of whole cloth by the Kerry campaign, in conjunction with David Corn. It planted the "Bush lied" meme that Democrats rode all the way through the 2006 elections. Then they pulled the Dan Rather bullshit with the fake TANG memos to try to nail George W. Bush. Only thanks to Buckhead and Charles Johnson did they not get away with it. Ray Nagin refused to call a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans, left 200 school buses unsused, and made no contingency plans for getting people out of the Superdoem or the Convention Center after Katrina. But Granny McBotox and Dingy Harry were right there to blame Bush. No terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11. But all Granny says is "we are not safer" and the media laps it up like beaten bitches. They started websites, made movies, wore T-shirts, ran protests with hanging effigies and Hitler photoshops constantly in order to destroy the President and the Vice President of the United States. Now they have foisted the biggest empty suit in history on us as President. For all we know, he may have lived with Bill Ayers in New York for four years and helped him build bombs. These motherfuckers proved they will lie, publish forged documents, and try to lose a fucking war in order to gain power. And NOW I'm supposed to take the high road and go all National Review? Not on your life. FUCK 'EM. Posted by: rockmom at November 06, 2008 08:14 PM (iZqUY) 181
One thing everyone can do right now is resist the temptation to burn bridges with their friends and associations who voted for Obama. I would sincerely enjoy telling some of my friends to get fucked, and hope that ending a friendship over their vote would send a message. However, those most enamored with Obama will be the most disillusioned once they begin to question his policies. Many college students and first time voters were caught up in his demagoguery and the excitement participating his campaign. They voted on promises and rhetoric, not principle. "Hope" and "change" have broad appeal, but only so far as they remained safely undefined. Just like the movie is never as good as the book, Obama can never live up to the 65 million versions of himself that exist in the minds of the voters. When they begin to turn, you want to be there. Restrain yourself, let Obama's own actions (or inactions) plant the seeds of discontent, and then capitalize on your friendship and their newfound receptiveness to make your case. We must plan on making a GOTV effort of an even larger magnitude for the 2010 elections. Obama won this election by offering the chance for people to act on their discontent, we can do the same.

Obama's not going to destroy all the GOP. He's going to go after popular governors who successfully blend the social and fiscal planks in the GOP platform. He'll leave crooks and RINOs well alone. He'll also leave Jindal, Perry, and Huckabee alone, if he's smart (and he is smart). It's like pruning a bonsai tree.

All right, let's sum up. This year in history, we talked about the failure of democracy. How the social scientists of the 21st Century brought our world to the brink of chaos. We talked about the veterans, how they took control and imposed the stability that has lasted for generations since. We talked about the rights and privileges between those who served in the armed forces and those who haven't, therefore called citizens and civilians.

One line of attack that is now mostly past its expiration date is Ayers/Wright.
Really? Just like Dan Rather decided in 2004 that the whole Texas National Guard thing was past its expiration date? Hello? Remember memogate? Why the hell should we let them bring up past shit while we take the high road? Tell you what, you and I should get into a fight. But you fight using the Marquis de Queensbury rules. Me? I'll just kick you in the balls and scratch your eyes out. And when I'm doing this to you, you feel free to take the high road. Anyway, the point of the above is that if you allow people to get away with bad behavior, don't be surprised if you don't get a whole lot more of that bad behavior. The only way to keep them from doing this to us in the future is to make it too painful for them to do it again. After all, why did you post the address to the Seattle Stranger when they published the addresses of those people in Seattle with McCain signs? Because they needed a taste of their own medicine. The left has been playing dirty pool for the last 8 years. Time to get a taste of their own medicine. Your buddy Steve Snate (sic?) is a historian. What kept Hitler from using chemical warfare against us? Was it because we took the moral high ground and committed not to usin it? No. Because he feared our horrible reprisal if he used chemical weapons first. Same thing here. The dems have to feel the same pain too in order to keep them from doing the same to us.

They were good times, practically unrivalled for peace & prosperity, certainly greater than anytime since. The only buzzkill? Friggin' insane conservatives, crawling out of the woodwork, accusing a sitting president of drug-dealing, murder, rape, in addition to the usual tropes about marxism, abuse of power, blah, blah, blah. Pardon me, Vic, if don't hold much hope that this time they'll act any better. Hell, Limbaugh was practically hissing on his show today.

They brought a gun. The GOP brought flowers with a straight razor hidden in them, which they used to carve up Palin and their base. You know what, I'm beyond all that. I know I will get heat for saying this but enough of the past and enough of who is conservative enough to satisfy us. Hell, I'm pretty damn sure I'm not conservative to satisfy a large percentage of you. These arguments are becomming more pointless by the second. We can bitch about Palin and McCain and who got screwed this election season but it is pointless now. We lost because our message, whatever it was, didn't resonate with enough people. Where McCain lost was not conservatives. He got abused with the same group that decides ever election, the Independents who went in big numbers to Obama. His message, even if we all believe it to be bullshit, was the same optimistic and energenic kind Reagan used to build a coalition well beyond a core of conservatives. We need our political leaders to understand that and move to create a more inclusive and optimistic message that reaches more people. What we need to do now is work to expose the very dishonest and equally dangerous people who are in DC and attempting to take this country in a radically different direction than they promised or most are aware of. Every time a the Libs institute a program or a ruling it stays forever and all we can do is hope to minimize the damage. Social Security, welfare, Roe v Wade...... all that shit becomes the baseline and then we spend the rest of our time trying to figure out how to work around the damage. Well we are in a financial period when we are weak, people are weak, and they will grasp at big government solutions that promise relief. Just like during the Great Depression. Totalitarianism and fascism are on the rise. Wars and situations that are threatening to spin out of control are everywhere. The Russians are massing missles on the their borders, the Syrians are massing troops on the Lebanese border, Kim is playing games with his nukes again, Pakistan is roiling, Iran is has just announced they have missles that can reach Europe and their nuclear development continues apace. We are in a period that is unnervingly similar to the time just before WWII. And Obama is our new President. There are bad times ahead and I really don't care about how badly McCain's aides are treating Palin. I am a lot more concerned with what is going to happen in the next 6 months. We all better be. Our 401Ks might soon be the least of our worries. And I am not counting on the msm to help spread the alarm. It better come out of places like this or we are going to be well and truly fucked.

174 I hear you - and to the suggestions of wolverines I like it. Booyah! I love that movie. And to the entire legally president issue ... says who. The voter fraud was so massive people have just given up talking about it. Foreign donations. Donations by cartoon characters. Thugs with night stics at polls. GOP poll watchers kicked out of polls. Legal my ass. These people work for us. This sound familiar .... When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government Posted by: Rob at November 06, 2008 08:39 PM (/Zcox) 211

McCain never made the case for conservativism. Instead he tried to ape (RACIST!) Obama with watered down populist attacks on Wall St greed and goody bags to various interest groups. Hell, before Joe the Plumber came along, he had nary a word to say about Obama's socialism. We need someone who can advocate for conservatism. It's a very common sense philosophy at its heart, but none of our leaders seems to be able to make the case for it.

Nobody is suggesting that we play nice or that we go easy on Obama or any other Donk.
However, we should be focused and intellectually honest in our criticism and opposition. We should not indulge ourselves in death fantasies, Hitler metaphors or any other form of mouth frothing. Getting deranged is bad for the soul. Do you think these jackholes are happy people? Do you think our asshole trolls are happy people? They aren't. They can't be. One of the things I'm going to really enjoy over the Obama presidency is watching the disillusionment of the cultists once they realize that the ocean hasn't been healed and they still have to pay for their gas and mortgages. So we shouldn't allow ourselves to develop ODS, not for their sake but for ours. Fuck them. I'm not going to develop an ulcer over these morons, and you shouldn't either.

We need someone who can advocate for conservatism. It's a very common sense philosophy at its heart, but none of our leaders seems to be able to make the case for it. That is because conservatism leads to less power. Our leaders have been suduced by power. To them more power is the answer not less. No one not tied to principles would voluntaryly give up power.
Conservatism and government does not make a good couple if you want to stay in power. The more power you give to the people the less they need you. Thus the attacks on Palin Posted by: unseen at November 06, 2008 08:51 PM (aVGmX) 221
"Have you had enough hope and change yet?"
Ha ha! See? I think something like that could be very effective for us down the road. Another one that I think we can safely indulge is complaining constantly that Obama hasn't healed us. It can be our version of "BUSH SAID HE WAS GOING TO UNITE US, BUT HE DIDN'T (even though we will never acknowledge that we were intractable cocksuckers who would never under any circumstances allow ourselves to be united)." Obama said he'd heal us, but we aren't healed! He lied! Posted by: Kensington at November 06, 2008 08:53 PM (xFNQx) 222
jackstraw. their side was never really countered by conservative leadership. If you tell a lie long enough and loud enough, then people start to believe it. "You can only hear the richard gere-gerbil story so much until you think there might be something to it". The media shaped public opinion. And Republican corruption and incompetence didn't help either. People didn't become enamored with the Democrats, they became disgusted with the Republicans. Bush, whether he wanted to stay above the fray out of respect for the office or just thought his opponents would be shown to be liars, did not fight back. I respect his reverence for the office, but I cannot stand his allowance of lies and deception to propagate.
Yes, the media was against all of us; they invision themselves as powerbrokers in the future politboro. So we have to go around them, like Reagan did. For example, I have for years said that our good guys in office should be holding townhalls and local media interviews (and I don't mean local conservative radio) to go straight to the people on a somewhat regular basis. If the gatekeeper blocks you, take him out of the equation. The people we need to convince to vote our beliefs probably do not listen to Rush or Sean or Glenn et al. They don't read our blogs. They get their news from around the watercooler and some from tv. Many roll their eyes at the "spooky voice" negative ads. You get a girl to give head by punching her in the face and then saying "suck my cock you filthy cunt"? It's basic psychology man. The Dems won in 2006 because the war had been waged poorly up to that point and for some odd reason people thought the economy was bad, even though they were personally doing well. The Dems won this time because we had McCain as our standard-bearer and he couldn't spell economics, let alone speak the language. Oil prices were a big issue too, but that was never pushed hard either. Frankly, most Repubs can't speak the language of economics and translate it well to ordinary folk - we either get "uuhhs" and blank stares from McCain, "quit bitching" from Gramm or populist nonsense from others who don't matter. People don't like hearing that. Obama, even though he totally bastardizes the concepts so he can inflict this country with his foolish policies, can at least speak the language. The dumb masses found comfort in that. McCain couldn't even argue his own policies; exhibit A: the individual health care credit. Fantastic idea, but he wouldn't challenge the bogus criticisms. That's why I call McCain the seppuku candidate. He ran an effective insurgency campaign, but quickly switched to seppuku tactics. We need to fight, fight like our country depended on it (b/c it does). We need competent standard-bearers and discard the gimps. We need to keep and improve good tactics and discard the bad ones. The Roman legions crushed their far more numerous opposition in Gaul and elsewhere through far superior tactics. Our numbers aren't nearly as small as theirs were. The Democrats appeal to people's baser instincts; we need to weaken that and dominate the areas of nobler intent. We can do it, we just have to be smart about it.

I will NEVER respect Obama, President of our country or not. He is not a respectable man. Fuck him. I respect the office, but not a man of his character.

I'm sympathetic to what you're saying, but if you don't care about being intellectually honest, you're on your way to ODS, and that's not going to be good for you. Look, we're conservatives, and there's no need to be irrational to score wins. I'm not talking about anything milquetoast like President Bush's "new tone" nonsense. I'm just advising against frothing at the mouth, which is what starts to happen when you say "I don't care" whether something is true or not. Listen, I'm sick inside over Obama's victory, but I dearly hope I'm wrong about that. If, four years from now, things are going well, I don't want to be so caught up in hating the guy that I can't acknowledge it. Now, is that likely? Of course not, but you have to remain open to the possibility whilst at the same time mounting a rational, yet unrelenting opposition. Dude, I'm sure you've seen Moonbats up close and personal, right? Do you want to become that? Yeah, they won, but is that worth becoming like that? They might have won in 2004 if they hadn't been such batshit lunatics. Posted by: Kensington at November 06, 2008 09:09 PM (xFNQx) 242
Look for small, incremental steps disguised and named as other things rather than obvious, in our faces attempts to destroy liberty and the nation's foundations. Obama and his crew are too smart, I think, to go the heavy handed route. This will make it even harder for us to stop him I'm sorry to say. They may be planning on a good cop/bad cop routine with the congress to come off as reasonable while looking for the same outcomes. I admire VDH for many things but he is too much of a gentleman in his advice here. No, we don't have to, and won't become Kosites of the right. But I think we are in for a series of battles on which the survival of our nation and families futures depend. With that in mind I ask you how much you can hold back without fear of future regrets.

My father and my brother, for two, voted Obama for remarkably stupid reasons. Their attachment to him is not deep. If McCain had made the Fannie Mae argument, for example, I think he would have won my brother over. I tried but couldn't. If McCain had been making the case, too, it might have given me more credibility with my brother. The point is, my dumbass brother is not a lost cause. A smart, aggressive unified argument could win him back. Shrieking hysterically probably won't, however cathartic (and justified). Posted by: Kensington at November 06, 2008 09:15 PM (xFNQx) 249
AG I'm not arguing against having a new political leadership that is consevative and more importantly can reach beyond the base. That is exactly what Reagan did. Do you think the country became more liberal as soon as Reagan left? Hell no, he just knew how to make the message more inclusive. Many of today's conservatives seem more intent on ideological purity. That's what our primary consisted of this year. It is a losing strategy. Whether its a popular message or not, this country is roughly divided in thirds, liberal, conservative and moderates. Take a look at the election results this year. Obama won with a coalition of liberals and moderates. Just as Reagan did on the other end of the spectrum. That will be important in a a year or so. your arguement leaves them intact All arguments leave the current leadership intact. We can rant all we want but there are now less conservatives in DC than there were 2 days ago. That will only change when people stop supporting people who don't represent what they believe in. I'm not advocating anything else. Hel, I am going to have a liberal packed SC for the rest of my life and I am very unhappy about it and the mindless arguing about who was most conservative this past primary. How did that work out? But the more urgent problem is what happens in the next year. For all of Bush's warts, he has fought two wars, worked to disarm the N Koreans, dealt with an incredibly unstable Pakistan, and on and on and on. In January of next year, all that gets handed to Obama. I want to see the country survive to the next election. And if that sounds like hyperbole, who would have imaged that 18 guys could hijack 4 planes, kill 3000 Americans and nearly tear this country apart? The world is even more dangerous now.

Most people were pissed at the treatment of the American colonies; some just found it difficult to get over that secession hump. They wanted change and some autonomy. And 8 or 9 colonies would never have seceded if that were the case. Nor would have people from all across the land have signed the Declaration of Independence.

And we have policies that are popular. Like somebody else said in another thread, Bush's strategy was to propose a plan, halfass the sell for a week, then the liberals would oppose it, then he'd give up and move on. He didn't keep fighting for any of it, didn't refocus the message or try another angle or push the issue like any other president normally would. Issues like school choice are winners for us. We ought to be pounding that all day long. It's what right. It's best for our kids futures. AND it does a lot to kill the liberal strangehold on our schools to boot.

JackStraw makes some pretty good points and I, for the most part, agree with him. A couple of caveats: 1. Let us not be too quick to turn away from the recent past. There does have to be some shaking out after a defeat like this if you want to be able to win the next time. I believe we must do what we can to name and shame the sort of folks like those McCain/Palin staffers who are doing whatever it is they think they are doing with these anonymous smearjobs. Jack, and others, perhaps it would help to look at it this way: After a mission, be it successful or failed, you do a debrief. We are not even two days removed from this last failed mission, so there is no reason to declare the debrief over. 2. There is a distinction between unhinged lunacy and cynical sarcasm. 3. Saul Alinsky. Obama is proposing all these "volunteer" service corps. In essence, he is willing to give us our own version of ACORN, if enough of us are willing to sign on and subvert. A "Veterans Corps?" LOL, I suspect that one would be low-hanging fruit for us smart military blog afficienados. Posted by: A Balrog of Morgoth at November 06, 2008 09:26 PM (wgLRl) 263

i suggest all conservatives read Saul Alinsky... use their own tactics against them Remember, the goal for them is to undermine and destroy the system. They do this by stoking anger and dissent while piling on limitless grievances and demands until the system buckles under its own weight. Pretty hard to duplicate their methods, as they follow directly from their goals. Goals which are diametrically opposed to our own. Posted by: Warden at November 06, 2008 09:28 PM (QoR4a) 268
Great post A.G. (#222) My opinion is that the GOP didn't have a farm team system. We need to get involved locally and recruit people to start filling offices from the local level up. Good leaders in local offices can change peoples votes in national elections. This is a good point. It’s the best way to ensure better (more conservative) leadership in the future. It’s silly to sit around passively waiting for the new Reagan to emerge. I’d also like to see a rightroots movement develop. I think the smartest thing would be to focus on specific issues instead of using ideological purity tests. We an get socially conservative blacks and Hispanics to side with us on issues like abortion and gay marriage. We can get libertarians and centrist Dems to side with us on fiscal issues like the multi-billion dollar auto industry bailout that’s about to happen but has received very little coverage.

I share your concern, but my logic is sound. It is true that we face challenges in the election process. However, the opportunity to win back Obama supporters, especially first time voters or independents, is fundamental to success. Conservatism is not a tough sell, you just need a receptive mind. I contend that many who voted for Obama do not have a well articulated political viewpoint. These people will be hard for Obama to hold on to. The point is that many of you have friends that can be brought around over time. Not venting on them now should be part of your long-term strategy. I am not saying that this is the only tactic, and I wholeheartedly agree with bringing the heat to the left and the msm. Ensuring a fair election process will be difficult but it can be accomplished. To think otherwise is counterproductive and defeatist. Posted by: Xenophon at November 06, 2008 09:31 PM (qrzXj) 273
For what it's worth, I think you're right, and I think it's reasonable to make this case. I just wouldn't follow it up with a death fantasy or a Hitler metaphor, and I think that's all VDH is cautioning against.
Posted by: Kensington at November 06, 2008 09:22 PM (xFNQx) The case must be made. voters like your brother must be educated. If say you go to your brother today and say look what the election of Obama caused a 10% market crash. I hope that doesn't impact your job. then next week when another piece of bad news comes out go and say look at what that crazy Obama id doning now and on and on. In 2 years or 4 years your brother will think that Obama is the cause of all the mess. the trick is to never accuse Obama of something that can not be tied back to him in some way. Never outright lie but don't wait for 100% confirmation either. Taxes go up on 250,000 and a jobs report comes out the next day blame it on the FEAR of tax hikes, the next month blame it on the the tax hikes themselves. I'm sure we will have plenty of ammo over the next 4 years to not make shit up. we don't need too. We just need to lossen the top fact checking. Look at biden in his debate. he just made shit up and people believed him. Even the MSM because they didn't know enough to say bullshit.

Better to learn from where those tactics have been used before and how they were defeated. The first and most direct of these attacks was against the welfare system in NYC. Rudy recognized and called it for what it was and beat it.

kensington... heh rob... i have seen widely varying numbers; and so they usually sound like wild ass guesses to me. I was attempting to apply a bit of logic to that notion. Sure it wasn't a popular idea at one time, but more and more people were won over to the idea. Just because there are 3 stances (for, against, neutral), doesn't mean that they break down to 1/3 each. That is the breakdown I usually hear; and I hear it because many who got history majors are retards when it comes to math. Even if it were about 1/3 were ardent advocates of secession, there was considerable sympathy for the cause amongst much of the remainder. We think the far left is insane, the far left thinks we are insane. They don't matter. And they, for fuck's sake, aren't 2/3 of the country. Regardless... the point is, they [the founders] won their fellow citizens over to their cause and made them part of the solution. The exact percentages don't matter. They succeeded, we can too.

the problem with conservative humor is that we don't have an SNL or a "Daily Show", college kids and other young ppl watch those shows and that's where Obama got the votes that Kerry didn't, add to that the fact that some conservs sat home because of McCain and you have the numbers we had on the 4th, to be machavillian about it, what the Republican Party needs to do is increase the excitement of their base and suppress the excitement of those that could overwhelm our numbers, and twice in a row now we have ignored the coldly practical and paid dearly for it.

xmas ghost... yes i do agree. he got in for a whole host of reasons. someone that we could have tolerated or enjoyed did not, again, for a whole host of reasons. there is nothing we can do about that now. Unless you quite literally want a civil war.
Not really sure what your point is though... I was responding to someone else who said that 2/3 of americans were against the revolution, who was using that as a response to me when i said that in order to spread our beliefs, we can't appear as some lunatic fringe. "Lunatic fringes" get ignored by those who think they are lunatics. Thus you need to win people over instead of scaring them off. That is how Obama got in - he didn't scare off most voters. We know his sketchiness, but the majority of voters either didn't or didn't care. And probably some had heard it but just rolled their eyes and figured it was just some smear. The populace who could be won over to our side never had his weaknesses or our strengths properly articulated to them. Obama largely separated his public image from the radical stuff - he talked about tax cuts and school choice et al and played to populist sentiments. He can say other stuff to the obamatons at rallies or behind closed doors, but he pretended to be quite reasonable while in front of the masses on tv. Like I said earlier... Its basic psychology. for those who don't want to take a class, go read (at least a summation of) "how to win friends and influence people".

You're right about the embarrassing and pathetic PUMA love, though. I about abandoned AOSHQ because of that, it was ugly to watch. I’m sorry but I don’t get this. What was so embarrassing about appreciating Dems that worked harder to get McCain/Palin elected than many in the GOP base did? I know you guys hate McCain but most of you love Palin. So I’d think you would appreciate the fact that these ladies were trying to help Palin reach the White House since it would make Palin the defacto GOP standard bearer in 2012. Most of the PUMAs I know actually put their own liberal agenda aside to support this ticket because they knew before anyone else, conservatives included, what a dishonest, shady, corrupt Chicago pol, crypto-Marxist sexist infanticide enthusiast Barack Hussein Obama is. I don’t understand the antagonism toward the PUMAs or life long Democrats (like myself) that voted for McCain/Palin. Honest question: Are you guys irritated that some of us are still posting here? If so, why? Do you automatically despise us because we’re lifelong Democrats? That sounds like the Daily Kos kids that think all Republicans are evil, intolerant, racist, dimwitted scumbags– i.e., deranged. Posted by: Tversky at November 06, 2008 11:30 PM (NVJWK) 334
They weren't conservatives in any sense. They were liberals, one strong on crime and the other strong on some social issues. Both were big spending liberals, not conservatives. Romney cut spending and balanced the budget with a veto proof Dem Majority in both houses and every Constitutional office. He cut spending. He fought publicly and to the detriment to his public standing against gay marriage because the courts pulled a Roe v Wade against his state and it cost him a huge amount of good will in the state. He is a god compared to what Reagan did in California in a much less hostile environment. Was Reagan a conservative in California or does myth triumph reality? Rudy had to deal with NYC. Not only a liberal cesspool but when he took over a bankrupt, totally corrupt, chock full of illegal alliens and completely dysfunctional mess. Rudy had over 6 million constituents in the most important city in the world when he took over. An island a few miles long and a couple wide. Palin had an overwhelmingly Republican state of 600,000, millions of acres large with an oil economy that guaranteed not only a balanced budget but checks to each citizen annually. What did Reagan do accept sign the largest abortion expansion bill at the time as governor?

and the more i think of it, what a sham this election was, hardly any important issues were discussed by either side, the scope of the discussion was so incredibly narrow, the press is especially empowered by the Constitution and more than any other election in my lifetime they have completely ignored their responsiblity of being an impartial player, it seems to me that the Constitution doesn't specifically demand impartiality of the press, but at the very least it has always been interperted that way in the past, how can people decide for themselves which person to vote for if the information they have is not balanced? how can they be expected to make a decision that is in-line with their own personal philosophy if the players are allowed to lie about who they are, the press is empowered by the Constitution to call them out, the MSM is the true loser in this whole bloody cluster-fuck.

I’m sorry but I don’t get this. What was so embarrassing about appreciating Dems that worked harder to get McCain/Palin elected than many in the GOP base did? I'll be happy to answer. You guys for the most part didn't give a shit about issues. You hated Obama, that was your only reason for supporting McCain. You felt you got dissed by the msm and you wanted revenge. Well welcome to our world. We have been dealing with this shit for-fucking-ever. I never heard any of you say boo when any Republican woman got savaged. You only care when it is a liberal woman. Condi Rice? sell out. Jean Kirpatrick? misguided. The list goes on and on. The fact is that Republicans have had more women and minorities in senior positions in government than Dems but you guys never supported any of them. It was only when St Hillary got trashed by your own team that you came over. And you didn't work harder. In the end your numbers weren't decisive at all. And tomorrow, you will be right back supporting Hillary and fighting us. You will be fighting for Obama and the very liberal government that we now have. If I am wrong and you are still here fighting against them then I will apologize to you. But I won't to the overwhelming number of PUMAs who just wanted to rage against Obama and used us.

the MSM is the true loser in this whole bloody cluster-fuck. I completely agree. They lost so much credibility this year. I know for a fact that many lifelong Democrats opened up their eyes this year and finally realized Republicans were right about liberal media bias. (Hell, I’m one of them. I used to fight with my conservative father about this all the time. He’s thrilled that I’m finally on his side. Lol.) I spend a ridiculous amount of time now reading multiple news sources because I refuse to be fooled by the MSM. JackStraw: I prefer Romney and Guiliani as candidates over McCain. Both are superior debaters (I think Guiliani did the best during the Republican Debates) and both have superior knowledge of economics (on that issue I give the nod to Romney.) McCain drew me to the GOP but over time I got disillusioned by his economic illiteracy. Anyway, I’m sad to hear the GOP base rejects Romney and Guiliani as RINOs. Who the hell passes the conservative purity test? Good grief. Posted by: Tversky at November 06, 2008 11:54 PM (NVJWK) 338
hardly any important issues were discussed by either side, the scope of the discussion was so incredibly narrow Yup. He had nothing but a hopey changey personality cult. And we had.. a dude who's turn it was. What the hell did he even run on, besides being 'not Obama' (who himself, was not anything, just some unknown insubstantial thing). The whole election was like "You know me, you know you don't like me, so vote for me because I'm not this vapid dude who showed up tuesday with greek columns". I think the MSM is right when they say this was a 'referendum on Obama'. It was. He offered nothing of substance but even so, McCain somehow offered less. On both sides it was about nothing but character. Alot like the dem primary. Do you want... a black liberal or a woman liberal?

And just for the record.. NO, the constitution does not call on the press to be neutral. Christ. When it was written the press were blatant partisans. Guys like Thomas Paine and Ben Franklin. They were goddamn propogandists, plain and simple. This 'neutral' press shit got started in the 20th century, when everything was being centralized and institutionalized. Historically we've had much more partisan press (but on both sides...and without the mass illusion of objective neutrality). The constitution does not make the press anything special. This, I think, is misunderstood, especially by the press. They see themselves as some godawful all important institution without which democracy is impossible. The press is special in this country because it's not special. Literally, there's nothing special about it...and that's what makes it special. Anyone is the press. You are the press. It's freedom of speech. Citizen journalism, if you will. Anyone can be the press. "credentials" and "journalism school" is BS. An ivory tower.. but the press is not suppose to be special in a democracy. It's special in a communism because it's a government organ. In democracy, it's especially not special. Anyone can be a press organ. The founding fathers were pajama-clad pamphleteers, cranking out rants from their mother's basements. Literally, if you HAD A press, as in a printing press, you were the press. When the constitution was written, our press was a nation of hyperpartisan bloggers hollering on street corners.

JackStraw: Thanks for the honest answer. A lot of your points are valid. For example, it’s true that many Democratic women have treated Republican women shabbily. Some Hillary Clinton supporters continued this practice by attacking Gov.Palin as a traitor to women, a non-woman, a bimbo, etc. But the PUMAs I know that worked hard for McCain/Palin were/are different. They may have acted that way in the past, but watching Hillary Clinton get eviscerated (often using misogynist terms) while the Democratic Party idly sat by( thus implicitly condoning such behavior) really changed these women. Then watching Governor Palin get trashed in a VERY SIMILAR WAY totally rocked their worlds. These women no longer labored under the delusion that only so-called “knuckle-dragging Rethugs” were capable of misogyny. Seeing “oh so tolerant” enlightened liberal Democrats engage in that same level of misogyny was to put it gently, a real eye opener. I know many PUMAs started watching FoxNews and found it was fairer to Hillary Clinton than any of the other networks. Many (myself included – I’m not a PUMA but I was a Dem) started reconsidering every assumption they had been operating under as indoctrinated Democrats. Few of us became card carrying conservatives as far as I know, but many of us did modify our stances on issues. However, you’re right when you say PUMAs were not motivated by issues per se. But it’s wrong to say they were simply bitter shrews motivated by revenge. Their main motivations as far as I can tell where 1) the misogyny exhibited by Obama supporters that the Democratic Party implicitly endorsed, 2) the Obama campaign’s race baiting tactics and 3)the Obama campaign’s caucus fraud. These factors made them unable to support Obama even though Obama and Hillary had very similar platforms (In fact, I think the Obama campaign ripped HRC’s platform off to a large degree. ) RE: Who worked harder. I don’t know if the PUMAs worked harder than the GOP base did on average. However, I personally know a number of PUMAs that worked very harder for McCain/Palin as well as a number of members of the GOP base who where practically working for the Obama/Biden campaign. In addition, PUMAs maintained very active anti-Obama/pro-McCain/Palin websites, recorded and distributed anti-Obama podcasts, and created campaign (admittedly low budget) videos. Although the number of PUMAs wasn’t decisive in the election, we know for certain that high profile PUMAs came out in support of McCain/Palin (Greta’s husband, the President of NOW in LA, Lynn de Rothschild – the big name Hillary campaign fundraiser, etc. ) In contrast, a lot of members of the GOP base could barely maintain their loathing for McCain during the election. They were exceedingly negative much of the time. Lastly, it’s clear that the base did not turn out for McCain/Palin the way they turned out for President Bush in 2004. I’m not saying the PUMAs were the best McCain/Palin supporters. (I think Michael Medved, Bill Kristol, Sean Hannity and later Rush Limbaugh did an enormous amount to help McCain/Palin during the election.) I’m just saying I find it weird that some of you hold them in contempt. RE: Whether the PUMAs will continue to help fight Obama. I think many were quite clear that their goal was McCain/Palin 2008 and Hillary/somebody in 2012. As long as its in their interest to hurt Obama I’d think they were still on board. (Some have grown disillusioned with Hillary though. They think she’s a phony liar for her vocal Obama support during the last days of the campaign.) Personally? I’m not interested in voting for Hillary. I’ll admit that I toyed with the idea because I thought she was smart, willing to work her ass off (I bet she was the girl in school that worked the hardest), tough, a national security hawk, and somewhat fiscally conservative like her husband. Then I looked at her actual plans. She is a smart, tough, hardworking national security hawk. But she’s the furthest thing from fiscally conservative you could be and not be a Marxist. I guess you could say I like RINOs because McCain drew me to the GOP (for character reasons primarily: bipartisan, willing to buck his own party, gutsy, but also a national security hawk, reform minded and a budget cutter) but I ended up liking Romney and Guiliani the most of all the Republican candidates. (Guiliani most of all. Romney is brilliant and clean cut/wholesome but he unfortunately gives off a smarmy vibe.) Bottom line: I’m still here fighting against the Democratic Party. Thanks to Soros money, they’ve evolved from well intentioned but clueless liberals that advocate terrible (often self-defeating) policies to corrupt, lying, deranged leftist loons that will do anything to destroy the opposition so they can impose those same terrible, often self-defeating, ideas. The former was bad but not intentionally dangerous. The latter is heinous and frankly a threat to our democracy . ur democracy. Posted by: Tversky at November 07, 2008 01:29 AM (NVJWK) 348

These are the rules. Everybody fights, nobody quits. If you don't do your job I'll kill you myself. Welcome to the Roughnecks Here's the thing. I'm not sure about the vetting issue. I get the impression that all the bad news about Obama--why he shouldn't be the president--had gotten out by election day but that a majority of voters (like Seattle Slough) chose to ignore that information and vote for him anyway. They knew what they were getting and it was okay with them. Which I find even more troubling to than the notion that he was insufficiently vetted from the start. I'm thinking: fuck 'em.
