We have all noticed that the candidate that runs the most positive campaign always seems to win. Here are some examples.
Carter vs Ford Carter had positive message he won
Bush vs Carter Bush won (thousand points of light)
Clinton vs Bush Clinton way more positive with his campaign than Bush
Bush W runs again Gore Bush had more positive message he wins
Kerry vs Bush Kerry talks mostly about Vietnam and his voice reminds us of the donkey from Winnie the Pooh what’s his name “Eeore”? So Bush wins.
Just you wait and see you guys, whoever has the most positive message wins. Here’s another good site, it’s not a blog but it’s a non partisan pro America video page. Enjoy

Big boy, now…BIG boy, now.

Nonetheless, I will now return to my high-minded sneering, but thanks for giving me so much to sneer about.

This is so obviously wrong historically that it is laughable. Can anyone with even a cursory knowledge of our nation’s history truly believe this?

Would you care to explain, then, the conservative roots of abolitionism, the labor movement, universal sufferage, civil rights, religious tolerance, and the current struggle for equal rights for gays and lesbians? And don’t pull the “Lincoln was a Republican” card either, “anyone with even a cursory knowledge of our nation’s history” knows that the dividing lines between the two main parties are hardly set in stone. This is an ideological discussion, not a partisan one.

I don’t know which is worse: your ignorance or your arrogance. Either way, you’ve yet to make an actual argument, preferring to hide behind ad hominems and high-minded sneering. Therefore, it seems kinda pointless to continue. Do you have a reason why you disagree with what I’ve said? If not, then nothing can be accomplished here.

As predicatable as the sun rising from the east . . .

Thanks for playing to type and at least bringing some no-doubt-unintended humor to the day. The “anti-war social activist” element in that statement alone is priceless for its disregard or perhaps ignorance of history and war.

Pity the poor conservatives who hate being reminded that they’ve been on the wrong side of every civil rights struggle in our nation’s history.

This is so obviously wrong historically that it is laughable. Can anyone with even a cursory knowledge of our nation’s history truly believe this? I imagine it is possibile if one engages in a tortured bit of lefty redefinition and revisionism, which is I am sure what will follow.

Are you serious? How can anyone argue otherwise? It has always been the Left and its predecessors fighting for social change, change that we now (almost) all look upon favorably. Racism, sexism, etc. – pick one, we’ve been fighting against it. And “lefty revisionism”? Boy, where to begin? Tell me how an antiwar social activist fighting against racism, war, and poverty was somehow conservative, or not liberal, or whatever it is you’re claiming.
