Sometimes It's Nice To Be Wrong

[ggw]

Ha ha ha.  Ho ho ho.
 
 It looks like I vastly overestimated the foaming slacker vote.
 
 It was nice to have spent the last week reading the same old coastal urban elitist "journalists" bemoaning the fact that the rest of the country doesn't share their "enlightened" views.
 
 Someone needs to put George Mitchell in charge of the Democrats.  He had no problem admitting that the problem with his party is that they have turned into a bunch of pompous self-deluding fuckwads who can do little beyond mocking and belittling anyone who doesn't have their same worldview.  Those weren't his exact words, but pretty close.
 
 Some great trends came out of this election.  Republicans gained in almost every demographic category.  College graduates preferred Bush 52% to 46%. So much for the "Republicans are uneducated boobs" argument.  The true "uneducated boobs" (defined as the "Not a HS graduate" category) favored Kerry -- not surprisingly.

must feel good to be proud of a party winning due to the anti gay vote, even the other educated republican i know, my dad, was a bit ashamed of that

[poorlulu]

let's not forget the fact that you were wrong though.................
 
 
 i love that fact most of all.............

Looks like the turn out the frat vote worked

The election was overwhelmingly decided by frightened, petty, small-minded people who couldn't stand the idea that gays in states hundreds of miles away might decide to marry, and that this was more of a threat to the country than wars on false premises or soaring budget deficits.  Not much to be proud of there.

dems are elitiest and figure that people will realize there's like, a war going on. republicans don't care about the west coast and northeast. republicans win because the part of the country they disregard has fewer electoral votes than the other guys apathy. yay america

And the crying continues......LOL

[kosmo vinyl]

yeah we'll see whose doing the crying when they start jacking up tolls, utility fees and the sin taxes on alcohol and cigarettes to pay for deficiets in budgets.  lowering taxes just means they increase a user fee somewhere else.

statements like this is precisely why democrats cannot win in the south and midwest.  you continue to think that because you are, supposedly, intellectually superior to everyone else, you, and only you, must be right.  and the fact that the candidate that best represents what you think lost, again, drives you nuts.  denial just ain't a river in egypt.

I wonder if Doctor Dolt realizes that his nifty IQ chart is a four year old hoax.

The education gap has just begun to change this election....for years, Dems were the less educated party overall(you know, that constitutes working class).  That's changed as immigrant groups that once were blue collar -- Irish, Italians, etc (heavily populating the northeast) -- have had second, third and fourth generations go on to college and graduate school.  Like the republicans aren't pompous -- come on.  Not even you Reps are buying this "we're the common man" bullshit.  Though you are the common evangelical -- you can have 'em.

[ggw]

My point was the opposite.  If you looked at the table in yesterday's Week in Review section, the Republicans made inroads in the "Some college", "College degree" and "college degree or more" demographics.  The Democrats only held an advantage in the smallest categories at the extremes.

Fuck the South. Fuck 'em. We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they'd stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves - yeah, those are states we want to keep.
 
 And now what do we get? We're the fucking Arrogant Northeast Liberal Elite? How about this for arrogant: the South is the Real America? The Authentic America. Really?
 
 Cause we fucking founded this country, assholes. Those Founding Fathers you keep going on and on about? All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your automatic weapons in the glove compartment because you didn't bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence? Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries were? They were fucking blue-staters, dickhead. Boston? Philadelphia? New York? Hello? Think there might be a reason all the fucking monuments are up here in our backyard?
 
 No, No. Get the fuck out. We're not letting you visit the Liberty Bell and fucking Plymouth Rock anymore until you get over your real American selves and start respecting those other nine amendments. Who do you think those fucking stripes on the flag are for? Nine are for fucking blue states. And it would be 10 if those Vermonters had gotten their fucking Subarus together and broken off from New York a little earlier. Get it? We started this shit, so don't get all uppity about how real you are you Johnny-come-lately "Oooooh I've been a state for almost a hundred years" dickheads. Fuck off.
 
 Arrogant? You wanna talk about us Northeasterners being fucking arrogant? What's more American than arrogance? Hmmm? Maybe horsies? I don't think so. Arrogance is the fucking cornerstone of what it means to be American. And I wouldn't be so fucking arrogant if I wasn't paying for your fucking bridges, bitch.
 
 All those Federal taxes you love to hate? It all comes from us and goes to you, so shut up and enjoy your fucking Tennessee Valley Authority electricity and your fancy highways that we paid for. And the next time Florida gets hit by a hurricane you can come crying to us if you want to, but you're the ones who built on a fucking swamp. "Let the Spanish keep it, itâ??s a shithole," we said, but you had to have your fucking orange juice.
 
 The next dickwad who says, "Itâ??s your money, not the government's money" is gonna get their ass kicked. Nine of the ten states that get the most federal fucking dollars and pay the least... can you guess? Go on, guess. Thatâ??s right, motherfucker, they're red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? Itâ??s too easy, asshole, theyâ??re blue states. Itâ??s not your money, assholes, itâ??s fucking our money. What was that Real American Value you were spouting a minute ago? Self reliance? Try this for self reliance: buy your own fucking stop signs, assholes.
 
 Letâ??s talk about those values for a fucking minute. You and your Southern values can bite my ass because the blue states got the values over you fucking Real Americans every day of the goddamn week. Which state do you think has the lowest divorce rate you marriage-hyping dickwads? Well? Can you guess? Itâ??s fucking Massachusetts, the fucking center of the gay marriage universe. Yes, thatâ??s right, the state you love to tie around the neck of anyone to the left of Strom Thurmond has the lowest divorce rate in the fucking nation. Think thatâ??s just some aberration? How about this: 9 of the 10 lowest divorce rates are fucking blue states, asshole, and most are in the Northeast, where our values suck so bad. And where are the highest divorce rates? Care to fucking guess? 10 of the top 10 are fucking red-ass we're-so-fucking-moral states. And while Nevada is the worst, the Bible belt is doing its fucking part.
 
 But two guys making out is going to fucking ruin marriage for you? Yeah? Seems like you're ruining it pretty well on your own, you little bastards. Oh, but that's ok because you go to church, right? I mean you do, right? Cause we fucking get to hear about it every goddamn year at election time. Yes, we're fascinated by how you get up every Sunday morning and sing, and then you're fucking towers of moral superiority. Yeah, that's a workable formula. Maybe us fucking Northerners don't talk about religion as much as you because we're not so busy sinning, hmmm? Ever think of that, you self-righteous assholes? No, you're too busy erecting giant stone tablets of the Ten Commandments in buildings paid for by the fucking Northeast Liberal Elite. And who has the highest murder rates in the nation? It ain't us up here in the North, assholes.
 
 Well this gravy train is fucking over. Take your liberal-bashing, federal-tax-leaching, confederate-flag-waving, holier-than-thou, hypocritical bullshit and shove it up your ass.
 
 And no, you can't have your fucking convention in New York next time. Fuck off.
