To answer your question, no it does not make me proud to see Democrats acting like arrogant righties.

BTW here’s what it would look like if I called you stupid.

“Chris, you are a moonbat.”

As far as how “over the top” I am, I hate to remind you, but there are millions of people who you would say are over the top by your shallow definition. I haven’t threatened violence against anyone here, however you rightie trolls seem to enjoy delivering veiled threats here. I recall a certain someone who wanted to douse the next liberal he sees on the street with lighter fluid. That’s a bit over the top, isn’t it. Or your assertion some time ago that “you can understand why someone would shoot my van”. Someone would be driving that van, you know. My kids would be in that van, possibly.

Your party’s hatred of gays and liberals over the last 6 years oversaturated right wing radio and news stories that I see in the Tribune all the time. KK is a perfect example of that. Your party has not even started to hide that hate, and in fact, is turning it up again in a desparate attempt to win the next election.

But again you miss my main point.

Your tactics, the same ones you use here, helped get Bush elected. You worked very hard putting the worst President we’ve ever had in office.

Are you proud that Bush was elected?

I never called you stupid. I believe that in this latest exchange, you called me stupid at least twice. I don’t understand why you cannot make a point without calling names, but that seems to be your M.O.

As for the substance of your comments, stolen signs seems to be par for the course in an election. You claim a ton of Kerry signs were stolen, and that may be true. In Minnesota, several Republican candidates, including Judy Johnson, filed police reports because a very large number of their signs were stolen. And let us not forget Phyllis Kahn who was caught stealing literature of Republican candidates from doorsteps. Kahn plead guilty to theft over the incidents. Does that make you proud, Nitro???

As for right wing hate speech, I don’t even know where to begin Nitro. Your own speech has been so over the top, I can’t even believe you would claim such phony outrage.

Since no two political cycles are the same, I’d be very, very surprised if the Democrats maintain an 80 majority in the House after 2008. Parity will return, especially now that the electorate has gotten a good sense again of how Democrats govern (see high taxes, more spending).

“Nitro, you and Richard can hate all you want and I encourage you to get on television and the radio and elsewhere to get your message out. ”

Yet,….you’re not embarassed by your own party’s hate that we’ve had directed at us for 6 years? I think everyone in America has overdosed on right wing hate speech and faked outrage.

Gimme a damn break. It’s time you stopped thinking we’re all idiots.

There were plenty of signs stolen on both sides, and one again my point goes over your head, idiot. Don’t think I don’t know about the cases you point out. I do read.

My point was, all that extreme effort with your reputations on the line, and you got Bush. Are you proud of it?

I’d be embarassed if I was you.

I don’t give a hoot in hell why you’re mad. Your hate is legendary on this web site, let alone your own. As for this crap that Bush people stole Kerry signs, let me refer you to the criminal case in Wisconsin where the son of a Democratic Congresswoman was charged with slashing the tires of vans rented by the Bush campaign to drive elderly supporters (and others unable to drive themselves) to the polls.

Nitro, you and Richard can hate all you want and I encourage you to get on television and the radio and elsewhere to get your message out. I am confident that when average people hear your vitriol, we’ll see the McGovern trouncing of 1972 repeated.

You are half right. Republicans were mad in 2006. But they didn’t vote for Democrats, they stayed home. They were mad because when Republicans controlled the White House and both houses of Congress from 2004-06, they didn’t accomplish anything and they spent even more than Democrats did. Independents broke for Democrats in 2006, largely because of the Mark Foley scandal and other reasons, including general unpopularity of the Iraq war.

But, as we’ve seen recently, the Democrats in Congress have an approval rating that’s half that of Bush’s. I do not think people are buying into the vitriol that challenges the patriotism of the highest ranking General in the field. I think the Democrats are very close to becoming the party of George McGovern redux.

We won a ton of state house and senate in districts that vote Republican normally. Did anyone ever compare the turn out in 2002 and 2006 in these races. Did we win because Republicans were fed up with Republicans and voted Democrat. Or is there a drop off in voter turn out on the Republican side that boosted the Democrats just enough to win.

Example, my guy is Tom Emmer, lucky right.

Lets say Tom won with 12500 votes in 2002. His Democrat opponent got 12200 votes. In 2006, Tom got 12000 votes while the Democrats still got 12200 votes. Democrat won by 200 votes, we celebrate.

With this, it doesnt show any more people voting Democrat, it only shows Republicans staying home because of the national GOP picture. In 2008, Republicans will vote, its a presidential year, they will vote. Will then Tom get back up to that 12500 number and get back his seat?

I’d look this up but I’m lazy and I’m sure this was done like Nov 9th.

The only ones turned off by this are dumb people like yourself. We have dealt with YOUR hate for quite a while now. We’ll see what the American people think about all of this very soon, won’t we.

It’s all so Summer 2004, you know. Look what all that HARD WORK you righties did that Summer, all of your reputations on the line, and you got Bush for it. Good lord I’d be embarassed if I stole Kerry yard signs and comitted other crimes to get that guy back in office. Just think of all the Christmas dinners nationwide that were ruined by arrogant talking points.

Predict all you want what you think is going to happen, however, it’s the Republicans who’s credibility is completely destroyed. All the predictions and half truths and bashing of the left has left a sad trail of corruption and incompetence, and pissed off people on the left.

Is there anyone on the far right who asks WHY we are mad?…..Nope.

Oh well….. We’re moving forward. Tag, you’re not it.

Accusing the President of murdering our troops is very pathetic. Just as pathetic as the people who accused General Petraeus of being a traitor to our country. But keep up the hate Richard, because let there be no doubt that the haters like you are going to turn off the rest of the country next year - just as happened in 1972. Can you say George McGovern?

Hopefully you are wrong and we can achieve balance without killing jobs. Most elections are non tidal, and have more to do with the candidates. I do think that is what we will see in 08, but it is a long way off and nobody knows what will happen.

Greenspan was right about President Bush’s mistakes and Republicans have paid. I liked the quote “they traded principle for power and got neither”.

Because they’re just not that bright. They impeach a president for consensual sex but not one for murdering 4000 US servicepeople. There’s some Republican support for the troops for ya.
