If you vote for Bush you are either a self serving dickhead or an ignorant twat. Which one are you?
Tossica wrote:Yeah. It proves that using fear and repeating the same lies over and over and over again will work to sway the masses.

The NRA votes on what that organization tells you.
In the intermediary, you have the intellectuals who have a bias, such as Arlos and I and we somewhat nullify ourselves.
Arlos proclaims the Republicans are the party of fear and racism, while he comes here and uses as his primary argument.... Fear and Racism.
Complete Irony.

Left wingers will always vote for a Democrat; right wingers will always vote for a Republican; educated voters vary dependent upon important issues facing them (this is where most 3rd party votes come from); and ignorant people vote for the candidate who can turn them out in the most numbers on certain issues.
Arlos wrote:Way to ignore the rest of my point, Durck, and jump on my disdain for inbred bigoted rednecks. Yes, I do think that people who've gone through college and made it to the point of getting a masters or PhD are likely to be smarter than Joe Jim Billy Bob or his ilk, and is more likely to actually research into their vote instead of voting "For that thar Bush guy, cause he's a REAL man!" (yes, I heard exactly that quote from someone)
Now, care to address the REST of the statement? Or are you ignoring it because you CAN'T rebut it?

I completely agree with this statement. Democrats pinned hopes on ignorance of young people, Republicans pinned hopes on ignorance of Christian nuts, and the Republicans won. No matter who won, this election was won for the wrong reasons. In four years if the Republican congress and Bush haven't passed a single law putting morals or religion in our laws, I'll be happy to say I was completely wrong about Bush on this issue, but I'm going to be slightly more realistic about the situation for now.
Arlos wrote:Just watch, by 2006 or 2007 there will be talk about a constitutional amendment repealing the 2-term limit, to allow Bush to run again, since after all, "We're at war, and FDR got more than 2 terms!" That's on top of a new wave of right-wing radical activist judges, that he's going to get to appoint in this term anyway.

Durck wrote:Dosi,
Your view is simplistic. Republicans won because more people agreed with them than the democrats. And their 72 Hour Project mobilized a voting force that far outweighed the democrats. The Dems relied on its 527s which are NOT ALLOWED BY LAW to report to the Party. The Republicans ran their get out the vote campaign themselves. They were extremely effective, winning in many counties first time republican wins.
Karl Rove, may not be liked, but you cannot deny he is a political genious.
And I will say, if you think the Republican party is some mad Religous Nut House of "Branch Davidians", then well... you've bought into the common liberal spin that if your religous, you must be republican, and you must be an extremist.
Answer this question, if Bush won 51% of the vote, why did the "Gay Marriage" Agenda votes, almost all pass with 65-75% margins? Are there NOT SOME DEMOCRATS that think the same on this issue? Or, did we stuff ballot boxes?
