On BOTH sides. Fox news presents Obama as the anti-Christ. MSNBC presents him as the second coming of Christ. Neither is right. And if yo think the bitterness, hatred and division is just going to evaporate, I want some of what you're smoking.
AZ, sorry, but you and your party of divisiveness had this coming. YOU invented bitterness, hatred and division. In fact, since Reagan, you've won 5 presidential elections based solely on hatred and intolerance and petty cynicism. The media finally 1. refused to buy it and 2. exposed you and your party as the hate monger, violent assholes you are.

The exact opposite of what you're saying is true. This is the first election I can remember where the media got it right and you knuckleheads were held accountable.
Of COURSE you think they got it right. Your guy won. Never mind all the nonpartisan studys that almost ALL agree that the media is a slanted dog.

Study, schmuddy, my guy did win, my ideas won, my vision of the future won. Your hatred, fear mongering, violence, intolerance and cynicism lost.
"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

I thought you were smarter than that, D. :| :| :| :|

Sorry, AZ, work on your message. Quit starting wars, quit lying to the american people, quit spending our money, quit relying on god, gays and guns to win elections, quit putting old white men up for office, quit marginalizing brown skinned people and then maybe your message would be better received. :mrgreen:

A) we didn't start the war against terror. Osama Bin Laden did.
B) Bush didn't invent lying to the American people. If you think THAT, you're a lost cause.
C) If you think BUSH spent your money like a drunken sailor, you're in for a VERY rude awakening.
D) I thought the DONK party depended on gays to win the elections?
E) One black guy in 250 years and suddenly you guys are perfect?

Your guy did win...no doubt about that...

But did your ideas win...I doubt that since lots of the votes that propelled your guy to victory were not pro-Obama votes, but anti-Bush votes...People wanted him out so bad that the fact the Democrats finally put forth a candidate that wasn't a complete putz allowed them to vote for Obama...

Your vision of the future...If your have truely posted your vision of the future, and it wasn't just part of a show (your words, this is theater), then your vision must be short term, because it will start changing in two years with the mid-term elections...that's when democrats will start losing seats because the expectations people have projected onto Obama and the democrats will not be realized...Reality meets expectations, and reality wins each and every time...

Call me a Conk if you wish...I'm more liberal than conservative, but have seen the liberal (TRUE LIBERAL) politics of this country kidnapped, just as TRUE CONSERVATIVES have watched the neo-cons of Bush et al kidnap their vision of this country...
