if the euphoria that swept the nation (and other nations as well) with the news of his victory is any indicator though... the American public will stand up to the asshats who try to bring him down before he even starts accomplishing things.
we need change as a whole... if bipartisan attacks threaten that change, you remove those people from any position that can obstruct that change.
in two years... I predict even more Dem seats are picked up.
.
I'd just like to say that to me, it's not that surprising because of one little detail... President-Elect, Barack Obama is black. It's really sad that so many people are still afraid of anyone with darker skin than theirs.
slightly O/T: My sister and I went to a bar/club this past weekend, we saw a group of college students hackling a few customers, and getting out of line with some of the women at the bar. One guy stood up for his girflriend when one of the idiots approached her, next thing you know they were cursing at each other and the college jocks got kicked out for harrasing the patrons.
When my sister and I went outside to smoke, we saw that the guys that had been kicked out had returned and were engaging in an argument with the security at the door. They were cursing at the security guards, using racial epithets and yelling at the guards that they didn't care if that "nigger Obama" was elected president.
The police showed up at that point, they argued with the security guards over the group of college guys hanging about the entrance, then turned around and told the guys to just sober up and go home. The owner decided to ask the cops if that's all they were going to do and he was told to step back and let them do their job. When he reminded them that they had knives, had threatened his patrons and staff with bodily harm and were obviously too drunk to know better, he was told again to mind his business and let them do their job.
The cops.. White... the drunk college assholes, White... the bar owner, Latino and the security guards Latino and Black.
There's your tax dollars hard at work...
The best way to make it difficult for the GOP to do anything is for Democrats and Progressives to do something. The GOP is becoming more and more irrelevant with every election simply because the only tool they have is hate and fearmongering, and people are already backed in a corner and too damn scared to be scared any more. People want a competant effective government, if Obama can do that, it will make the teflon coat he had during the election look like nothing. So take all the energy we consume scared of the big bad GOP and focus it on getting this country back on its feet.
Stop being afraid, get mad, govern better, it's open season on Republicans and I'm in the mood for GOP meat.
Don't worry, little Sally.. Mission Accomplished, remember? Now you run along and play with your fighter pilot Bush doll.
Yeah.. you're against a helping hand unless the hand is giving you a reach around, eh Joe?
Twit.
"Yeah.. you're against a helping hand unless the hand is giving you a reach around, eh Joe?"
They call them "handouts" unless they are the ones snatching away the dollars, right? Its a handout if its given to some poor schmuck but NOT a handout if its a BAILOUT, right?
HANDOUTS = BAILOUTS to greedy Republicans
Newsreaders need to get the memo. Stop calling HANDOUTS to billionaires BAILOUTS. Its a HANDOUT to the rich.
it makes as much sense as the whole article anyway.
we're not THOSE kind of parents...right. gah.
i just betcha.
Worth seeing if you get the chance.
...for Jesus.
About ADF

Allies
Since 1994, ADF has been privileged to partner with and/or act in alliance with more than 300 ministries and organizations.
Fucking dominionists, for sure. No wonder that piece is treacle.
Agree as far as the statement goes. I think there's another important element - the emotional appeal. Th "target audience" may be mean and unable to rationally think their way out of a paper bag but are they ever saps for saccharine sentimental appeals (one of Palin's "virtues" BTW).
given that... he IS one of "those types of parents"
egad... onward chri$tian soldier.
and they belong to Zion Presbyterian Church...wow, never knew the Presbys were into that shit, but guess they are in TN.

I loved my early life, and then along comes a priest ... who forces me into a sexual relationship at the age of 12. And right shortly thereafter, I fail eighth grade, I start drugs, I start drinking, I start smoking. My entire life ... implodes."
he should've blamed the priest for becoming a republican as well.

Hmmmm...yes, I'm just wondering.
Now for some perspective: On the morning after the election of JFK, I arrived at my elementary school to see a classmate and her sister in tears at the prospect of the Pope imposing Catholicism on her Methodist/Masonic family.
The only other time I saw her in tears was in junior high after the announcement that JFK had been assassinated.
Bet the poor kid has to go to their "christian school" too...
I may have heard it used once or twice in my 50 years on this earth...
I wonder how many other people never used or heard that word TILL Sarah Palin used it the week before the Election.
Thus another word or phrase the GOP sinks their teeth in and repeat over and over and over.
The validity of Conservatism is naught.
Halliburton stock was way up at the time.
What a shitty "dad" and "journalist".

True, in MANY cases, 'dat.
Give the kid basic training and send her to Iraq.
No need for her to remain so unhappy.
Anybody who wants to go fight should be immediately drafted, IMO.
That way, America's complainers against peace can put their asses where their mouths are & go fight in the war they love so much.
It's really the best solution, by far.
My little girl cried 2 yrs ago when her uncle came home from Iraq with only 2 fingers on his left hand, 3rd degree burns on his face and arm, and eyesight in only one eye.
