The 'conservative' forums are chock full of 'em...this site is chock full of 'em....everywhere I look there are conservatives strewn about willy-nilly.
I hang out on all sorts of internet forums from time to time...car forums, blackberry forums, city data, what have you. Almost always there is a political forum chock full of Elmer Fudds and wannabe aristocrats who are convinced hard right ideology will save the world by allowing it to save itself, or something. They think individually, not collectively, and tend to be loudmouthed and obnoxious in their communication. (Not always, but a good deal of the time.)
We The People Need To Clean HOUSE, elect new CONGRESS!! Out with the REAL OLD and in with some NEW American Ideas!!
Absolutely ... term limits. Throw the buggers out and let's start fresh.

Was this vapid post supposed to upset me? For your sake, I sure hope not.
If you knew me (and gratefully you don't) you would know that asking me to "give it a rest" just ensures further participation.
Appalling to me is someone getting on their high horse making judgments about that which they know little or nothing about so they merely attack with no substance.
Fortunately, I lived over half of the 20th century, studied it, and know it very well.
Hmm....seems to me there are more conservatives on these forums (at least).
I knew all those "REPENT~THE END IS NEAR" posts were coming from somewhere...

Without being an azz.... How do you come to the conclusion a poll dominated by libertarians is all about conservatives? Further more only 58 people voted. City Data has a little larger membership base than that....
Some conservatives really have a lot of trouble accepting personal responsibility, don't they? I said their ideologies failed, not "their policies". Get your quotes right if you're going to quote.
Sure, there were some structures in place from the Democratic days that could have been better (such as the Fannie and Freddie situation), but do you forget the CRIMINAL, clandestine behavior of the Bush administration already?
Do you recall how they pitted Americans against each other to exploit our differences rather than utilize our unity?
Do you remember being lied to about Iraq? I do because I was going to sign up for the military after 9/11. Then I started paying really close attention. LONG before WMDs became a catch phrase, the Bush administration was shopping any reason they could come up with to invade Iraq. I heard the director of communications for the White House in 2002 ramble on for five minutes without ever answering the question of why we needed to invade Iraq.
That was when I knew they were lying. The "liberal" media went right along with it and only years later - after hundreds of thousands of dead bodies - did Americans realize it for themselves.
Do you recall the deregulation of banking and natural resource extractive industries that decimated our economy and ecological health?
Do you recall politicizing the Justice Department?!? Pushing people out who disagreed ideologically with radical neocons?
Do you recall the ovewhelming evidence that the 2004 election was rigged and stolen, giving us a completely illegitimate president?
Do you recall Katrina and the friend of Bush put in charge of FEMA whose prior experience in disaster management was as the head of a horse association?!?
No. Conservatives cannot rewrite history, no matter how much they flood these forums in their attempts to do so. These were criminals who hijacked our White House and we, the collective American people, finally took it back.
Deal with it. You failed.
Damn.. I want to rep you but apparently I can't just yet...LOl
I love , too , how they talk about "punish the successfull??"
Hm.. lets see..
The upper tax brackets have been recieving a nice tax break under Bush.. part of the entire "trickle down economy".. Trickle down my ass..LOL...
Let's see.. in that time American's salaries HAVE DECREASED while the top income of those in higher bracket has DECREASED. The middle class is dissappearing.. .. while we do not pay as much taxes as the top brackets, we bear MOST of the burden.. after all,.. what do those in that top bracket sacrafice to pay their tax bill? Maybe they have to forgo those extras on their BMWs , Mercedes and Lexus they drive (ie; not buy some of the options).. the middle class.. sacrafice much more to meet their obligations..much more..
It seems to me that the middle class has been PUSHED DOWN....and PREVENTED from actually prospering.. so then, who is REALLY being punished here..
What were the mid-term elections in 2006?
The Dems have been responsible for a lot more than you think they have.
Maybe you should take a break for Olbermann for a while and join the real world.
You know that there wasnt a filibusters proof(still isnt) majority in the senate?
Without being an azz.... How do you come to the conclusion a poll dominated by libertarians is all about conservatives? Further more only 58 people voted. City Data has a little larger membership base than that....
It seems to me that you must have read the results of that thing with the same set of eyes I use, since we saw the same thing. i think that if you aren't a liberal, you are a conservative, in the eyes of liberals.
Brubaker, has it ever occurred to you that there may be a lot more people thinking conservatively since the coronation of January 20? Think about it.
