But as far as Georgia and Minnesota, I guess the Republicans are gonna be invited to some late-night Congress Rock Band parties. Good thing too, someone needs to take Stevens’ place as the vocalist for Team Awesome.

Whatever helps get those who didn’t vote for Obama a little more optimistic about the country, everyone needs to be lookin forward for anything to happen.

Oh, well. Just have to beat them by a wide enough margin that they can’t cheat, as Hugh Hewitt says.

Also, the sooner you guys realize that we arent going anywhere, nor did we ever intend to. The sooner you’ll all stop your whining about withdrawl dates and occupation and empires and all that crap and realize it was all a strategic ploy to place ourselves right smack where we needed to be.

“All the surge did”?
It did much more than that, but lets start with what I believe is the one most important thing.
Gee, I guess its too much to expect liberals to acknowledge that the surge saved lives, no doubt.
Who ever said it was intended to end the war ?
As a matter of fact, buying time was one of the intended consequences.
Soooooooo, thank you for making my point for me.

Yes, most cons have a record of being against regulation, thats a good thing in my book.
The fact of the matter is that a system derived by liberals is what needed regulating and that McCain plainly saw the perfect storm brewing and made attempts to stop it..
You have seen evidence of this in transcripts from congressional hearings that I have shown you.
Its fact.
You yourself have admitted that racism is alive and well, said yourself he was representing a race, yet out of ignorance you deny it exists at the polls, or is it only the white man who is racist ?
You yourself have also stated that if Obama were a white man he would stand an even better chance of winning.
And of course, lets not forget the guilty white liberals who thought it was their duty to elect a black man into office regardless of qualifications, but only to promote diversity.
I myself ran into about ten of em last year.
Jersey, your arguments of convenience are all too predictable and although its hard to find a poll that specfically asks if you’d vote simply out of race I have you on record saying it happens with whites.
It works both ways, there is the Bradley effect, which today is not as prevelant and has shown to be a dying trend which only means that we are as a country seeing race as a factor less and less.
But there are still those out there that just wont pull the lever for a black man, as much as they say they would.
So why is it for the sake of your arguement you insist that no black man would simply vote for a black man based on race alone ?

“AP-Yahoo News poll suggests that racial prejudice could cost Obama up to 6 percentage points this fall. That’s a big hurdle in a nation whose last two presidential elections were decided by much smaller margins.”

Oh, but theres no racism/prejudice that could help him ?
Anyone who believes that, as McJones would say; is either “stupid or crazy”

“Anyone who believes the mortgage crisis was the result of equal opportunity lending is wrong. ”

Misleading answer, again.
It was not a result of equal opprtunity lending.
It was a result of giving mortgages to those who should not of had the opportunity at all.
Wheres the equality in forcing banks to loan money to high risk borrowers ?

The entitlement freak is who voted for Obama, it stands to reason, he had more freebeees on the table.
No one can deny that.

McCain has a long history of being anti-regulation.

The Democrat in this election would have garnered almost as much of the African American vote as Obama. Polls showed Hillary would have done just as well. The fact is that Obama was not only representing a race, but representing it’s best interest at the polls. Anyone who thinks otherwsie must then assume that black people are just stupid and vote for whoever just happens to be black even though history shows that is completely incorrect.

There are no data siting how people in foreclosure voted.

Anyone who believes the mortgage crisis was the result of equal opportunity lending is wrong.

No, they were hypocritical as no credit was given for the surge, which even many of Obama fellow dems acknowledged had worked, nor did they pay attention or mention during the campaign the issues they have in common that the two of them most recently decided to work on together.
All he did was take advantage of BDS and so called “failed policies” that McCain had little to do with.

“One of the issues that hurt McCain in this regard was deregulation. McCain has always been a vociferous deregulator, as Bush. Sure enough, laizzez faire deregulatory policy led to the usual boom and bust cycle, the cycle busted, and McCain’s deregulatory reputation hurt him.”

Thats a lie, once again, it was McCain who went to the hill to ask for regulation to be applied to the boom that was created by Clinton and Carter, Fanny and Freddy, Dodd and Frank, Obama and Schumer, and Pelosi and Reid.

“That “fact” is nonsense, and would only make you seem a little racist if I didn’t know you better.

I am not racist because I point out racism. Grow up.
Obama recieved 96% of the black vote, seeing as how 52 % of the country voted for him on a array of issues its safe and logical to say that 52 % of the 96% of that voted for Obama , voted on the same array of issues.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/04/exit.polls/
“Those who said race was an important factor voted 55 percent to 44 percent in favor of Obama. But Obama also was the winner by a similar margin among those who said race was not important, “which suggests that race was not a decisive factor in this election,” Schneider said.”

So, this makes my point that there were just as many racist votes as there were non racist votes.
Had a small majority of these people that voted issues instead of race there would of been a difference of a few points, maybe enough, to put McCain up a couple digits.
Also, seeing as how McCain only got 3% of the black vote it follows logic race played a huge role in the black vote.
I’m not saying it was hatred of whites, but percieved favortism of blacks in the form of entitlements coming from the black candidate.
Face it, it was said many times by many people in many interviews with no attention given to issues.
So many people were hung up on the idea of having our first black president, nothing else mattered.
That, is a racist vote based on the ideology of showing the world just how diverse we can be without even caring if the man was qualified or not.

Hmmm… I guess if it was fair to place McCain next to Bush you shouldnt of had such a big problem with Obama being placed next to numerous crooks and radicals who never did a thing for our country except for put it down, bomb it and hate it.
Not something I’ve ever known Bush to do.

JMJ;
“There is no record of who voted which way with bad mortgages. That’s just a lie.

Actually, you’ve been caught in a lie.
There are records of votes concerning housing and mortgage regulations all over the net.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0JZS/is_17_24/ai_n28027488?tag=content;col1

No one can vote on a “mortgage that went bad” thats just plain arrogantly stupid abuse of the english language and a ridiculous interpretation of what I was saying.

But, there are definitley records of who started this whole mess. And that initial process involved HUNDREDS of votes that resulted in bad mortgages.

“The crashed economy via the CRA was started by Carter, strengthened by Clinton and re-formulated by the 2005 Congress. Chicago figures in the beginning stages of this act.
In the 1970s, activists in Chicago and across the country brought strong pressure on banks to lend equitably to all those in their communities. Since its passage, the CRA has been used across the United States to win tens of billions of dollars in new lending, investments, and services for communities. The National Community Reinvestment Coalition tracks more than $1 trillion dollars in community reinvestment pledges nationally. These pledges are explicit investments in equitable development goals, and finance many tools in this toolkit. ”

Seeing as how you have refered to our soldiers as the little guys its safe to say that BUsh has stood up for them along with the GOP a hell of a lot better than the left has.
Shall we start with funding ?
By offering tax relief to companies that actually employ “little guys” they’ve done plenty.
I seem to remember a whole bunch of checks getting mailed to all the “little guys” last year also.
I could go on, but why battle ignorance ?

As for your “facts”…

I have no idea what you mean about your first “fact.”

If McCain was black he would not have garnered much more of the black vote. Obama is barely even regarded as “black” in the black community. That “fact” is nonsense, and would only make you seem a little racist if I didn’t know you better.

There is no record of who voted which way with bad mortgages. That’s just a lie.

“Every turn” seems quite true to me. I’ve never seen an example of Bush and the GOP standing up for the little guy against the bugs guys. Ever. If you have an example, I’d be happy to see it.

JMJ

That decency you speak of is already in the crapper as Obama is ready to rape anyone he thinks doesnt deserve their own money.
The numbers and timelines keep changing.
This is a FACT.
I call the party who voted for Obama what they are based on the facts.
He was voted for by a majority of blacks simply because he is black. FACT.
He was voted for by a majority that thought they would get bailed out of bad mortgages. FACT.
What you got is nothing but hot air. “every turn” and bla bla more exagerated and untrue, unsubstatiated hateful, bias garbage leftist talking points that you have never been able to prove like the question I asked you from 3 - 4 days ago that couldnt answer because you know how stupid it would make your question look.

I pray that Stuart Smally loses to Coleman simply due to the fact the he is one of the most “Undecent” people on the face of the earth and should be ridiculed, tarred and feathered and let loose in public to be seen for the cowardly mean , vindictive, whiney little pr*ck that he is.
How anyone can concieve this man being office after the vulgar exchanges he has had on the radio with the likes of Janine Garafolo and her ilk is beyond me.
