As usual you are wrong.

It is not LOGIC, it is FACT.

Read a start your crying.

The increased conservatism that Gallup first identified among Americans last June persisted throughout the year, so that the final year-end political ideology figures confirm Gallup's initial reporting: conservatives (40%) outnumbered both moderates (36%) and liberals (21%) across the nation in 2009.

Liberals are of course stinking up the place and are pulling of the rear end.


Conservatives Finish 2009 as No. 1 Ideological Group


For your enjoyment.

Some cannot handle the facts and some will have a hard time knowing they really are a low end minority.

"The election of Obama was a fluke."
Obama won by a clear majority... 7%. Now consider a 7% margin of victory as compared to Bush who in 2000 was appointed to his "presidency" and in 2004 won by a slim 2% margin of victory.
If any President was a "fluke" it was George W Bush!

Default I highly disagree with Michael Steele.....

Steele: GOP ’screwed up’ after Reagan, won’t win in 2010 | Raw Story (http://rawstory.com/2010/01/steele-gop-screwed-up-reagan/ - broken link)

Here, the point in which i disagree with -- And if there's a reason for that, it's that the Republicans "screwed up" after Ronald Reagan left office.

Screwed up! After Ronald Regan left office?! Yeah, right. Talk about an oxymoron...

Steele is finally growing something a little larger. He is feeling the wrath of how much love the Republican party has for him. He is on the MTP Sunday. Should be a good shows for D. Gregory. Rachel needs to be there.

One year later, the liberals have done more damage to America in one short year then any group has done in any 10 year period.

Liberals will NEVER own up to their mistakes.

Thanks to the gift that keeps on giving named Obama and the worst congress ever, the loons are on their way out of town.

You do mean the THUGS now din't ya.

Bush was not "appointed" president in 2000; he won 271 electoral votes and therefore was the winner.

Actually it is common knowledge that he didn't win Florida. Thats all history though. It bothered me at the time, but it doesn't bother me anymore. In 20 years I am sure school books will teach kids about how Bush stole the election. His punishment is going down in history as a total ****-up.

What are you talking about? Bush won the original vote in Florida plus every single recount.

School books (if they are to be accurate) will mention the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court asked the Florida Supreme Court why it was changing the rules after an election. When the FSC could not give a credible answer, the U.S. Supreme Court rightly put an end to the endless hand recounts.
