Let's not be sore winners. How bout it? :)

[msallied]

No, John McCain's hateful words and actions throughout the latter part of his campaign will not be forgotten by us. But HE LOST! We all KNEW he would lose! They were the ACTIONS of a man who was desperate and could not win. So let's get over it. Let's let it go. Obama not only won, but he slapped McCain's wrinkled old ass and left a sizable, bleeding hand print!

So let's take our victory and move on graciously.

How bout it? :)

[NMDemDist2]

1. nah

I don't think so...

:evilgrin:

[Kajsa]

6. AZDem!

Oh, you're a mean momma!


:) :rofl: :hi:

[bhbwl]

47. No Quarter!

This isn't about repukes. You can negotiate with rational humans. You can't negotiate with mindless monsters.

This is about justice.

What justice will there be for 500 years of slavery, civil war, oppression, hatred, Jim Crow, segregation, etc...

When you have cancer, do you hold out a hand and negotiate with the cancer? Of course not. You destroy it.

repukes are cancer. Our Leader just started the chemo. It's our job to keep it up until there's not a single cancer cell left.

There is no such thing as a good repuke. Never has been, never will be.

They're the party of slavery and Jim Crow, ferkrissakes! We really want to negotiate with monsters?

Never.

NO QUARTER

[clydefrand]

2. I'm with you. Obama wants us to do that also.

[msallied]

4. And the classy hundreds of thousands of people from Grant Park too.

Nary a "Boo" among them.

[Common Sense Party]

3. You mean we should show some class?

:think:

[Flying Dream Blues]

5. Humble in victory, gracious in defeat; it's always the better way. nt

[AlCzervik]

7. i'm too happy to be mean to actual republicans i know, them i'm going to nice

to death which imo is the way to go, that really annoys people.

[Breeze54]

8. Fuck the pigs!!

:grr:

[beezlebum]

9. graciously schmaciously

i'm gonna gloat till January...2012! or mebbe '16!

after 8 years of utter torment watching this country fall to pieces, knowing that my tax dollars were going to kill and maim and destroy, and would have continued and escalated under mccain, and hearing all the propaganda and lies and feeling that health insurance was unattainable...i can't help it.

;)

seriously though, i have buttoned my lip and taken quite a bit of racism and harassment tonight. i stifled my urge to gloat, though i desperately wanted to take a swing right back...still gonna give high fives and celebrate with my D buddies though!

[Zookeeper]

10. My ire is reserved for the Freepers who are whining and still...

calling Obama a "Muslim."

I can't wait to say, "You lost. Get over it" to the Freeps. (I learned that from them in 2000 and 2004.)

[jillan]

11. Obama wants unity. We gotta figure out a way to turn freepers back into

humans.

Any ideas?

[Breeze54]

17. Get them high on some pot... daily.... , they'll come around.

:P

[cemaphonic]

26. The freeps are lost causes

But there are a lot of more sensible conservatives that just want good government, and just need to see that us Dems can deliver it.

[Symarip]

12. Maybe November 6th

November 5th I'll be saying 'Fuck You' and 'Eat Shit'... ALOT.

[olshak]

13. Agreed... it is time to govern, not to gloat n/t

[yasmina27]

14. delete

sorry, double post.

[yasmina27]

15. Absolutely

[olshak]

16. Agreed... it is time to govern, not to gloat n/t

[Homer12]

18. We will bring the olive branch

The right will bring the sword.

It is not over yet, keep your armor on.

[vanderBeth]

19. Agree

It may the victory high, but I feel so gracious, even to Republicans who are willing to move on.

[Gato Moteado]

20. screw McLoser and his freeptard following.......

....they're irrelevant.

[Liberal In Texas]

21. I'm going to be as gracious as they were in 2000 and 2004.

"Get over it," comes to mind first.

"Conspiracy theorist," next.

"Whiner," is right up there.

I'll think of a few more tomorrow.

[beezlebum]

23. don't forget

they aren't keen on criticizing the president!!!

[Liberal In Texas]

35. Yep. The thing is if they lay off going after President Obama for no good reason

I actually might not be a sore winner. I just remember what happened with President Clinton. I will never forget that!

[lildreamer316]

22. Looking forward, not back. n/t

[AuntPatsy]

24. Who? I do not feel like that at the moment,to be honest, I had forgotten them the haters while

simply basking in the glow of kindness and true leadership being unveiled honestly..all the anger and rage I have felt at those people who for years did nothing but attempt to divide this country and encourage us to distrust and hate each other meant nothing to me...I wasn't honestly even thinking about them, strange..they are the past...we have a new future that looks so much more appealing..

[beezlebum]

27. beautiful.

well-said and quite true.

that said, for the first time in 8 years, i really do feel hope.

*tear!*

[renate]

43. "they are the past"

I love that! :thumbsup:

[Liberal In Texas]

46. Quite shortly they are going to remind us how hateful they are.

I don't mind being a peacemaker, but these people are snakes and are dangerous. I will not attack them (verbally, of course in case you had something different in mind) but if they attack me or my President, I will attack back.

Really, the first move will be up to them. I suspect it's going to be ugly.

[csziggy]

25. Smile and think of them as recovering from a horrid illness

The hard part is not being smug.

[msallied]

29. I will be happy and try to avoid the smuggery too.

And I will remind those on the right who have not extended the olive branch that at least I can sympathize with their plights, but that I'm not a damn bit sorry.

[Hawkeye-X]

48. Whew! for a min i thought you were durrtylibby

Which has already earned pizza. That snickering dog was his avatar

[Marrah_G]

28. Absolutely, we are better then they are.

[msallied]

31. Indeed. We can be happy. I'm thrilled. Elated, in fact. But I'm not going to be an asshole

We lead by example. Always have.

[stillcool]

30. I'm surprised by all the freeper shit..

being brought in here tonight. What's up with that? I'm not into hating anyone, or anything tonight. I'm going to focus on the positive for a while. It's a strange, unfamiliar feeling, but I'm going to work on it.

[DesertRat]

32. I absolutely agree. Obama is showing us the way. n/t

[happychatter]

33. I couldn't be unhappy if I tried right now Oly... in fact....

I think I'll stay up all night on espresso?

make a banner to hang over a freeway overpass tomorrow morning

YES YOU DID, AMERICA

YES YOU DID

[msallied]

I need to check in with the Rossi/Gregoire race. lol

[ebayfool]

34. Gracious like the asshole that spiked my tire tonight?

Mebbe later. Right now, I'm not feeling it.

Obama bumper sticker in the deepest bloody-red heart of CA between the hours of 8:00 PM & 10:00 PM election night & only accessible by 3 other units = some neighbors about to see the wrath of me.

Tonight I'm celebrating ... no one is ruining that for me & mine. Tomorrow I figure out how to get to work & pay for a new tire. But gracious is gonna take awhile to get to.

[Liberal In Texas]

45. Wow. That sucks. But so do a lot of these RWers. You can't put out a hand

to someone who wants to break your fingers.

Cheers...have a great night and call the cops and insurance company tomorrow.

[FDRJFKMLKRFKBHO11408]

36. Agreed..

President Obama has made a defining theme of his campaign and his message has been unifying America.

After all, we're all in this thing together. Republican, Democrat and independent alike.

[minnesota_liberal]

37. McCain needs to calm down his wacko supporters!

When some of his more unruly supporters booed Obama this evening, McCain had an excellent opportunity to say, "Grow up, wise up and shut up!" Of course, he did not. He and Palin attracted many radical nuts who need to be talked down for the sake of our country.

Only time will tell whether McCain will, as he pledged during his campaign, "reach across the aisle" and work for the betterment of the country -or- stick with divisive, partisan politics.

[AuntPatsy]

42. Your correct, he had a chance to prove something, he didn't, he stuck to his scripted speech

written by another, not his words nor his true inner thoughts..he could have addressed the hate he and his sidekick let loose but again, he did nothing more but look the other way, and on that note, he speech meant nothing coming from his lips to my ears....

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

38. are you the same msallied who posted this thread?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7777026

Gracious.

[msallied]

39. I didn't say I wasn't going to enjoy my victory.

And maybe I should have provided more context. He told me to "not thank him" for Obama's victory and was being an asshole. That's not the same as continuing to take shots at John McCain who have a gracious concession speech.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

44. Gracious concession speeches do not excuse anything.

In 2000 John McCain apologized, well after the fact, for his support of the Confederate flag, which he used to pander to Southern voters. He said he had lied about his support and would never do it again.

He must have been desperate and knew he couldn't win. I guess that's why he did it.

And that's why he did it again, over and over again, all through this campaign.

His concession speech was just more calculated bullshit designed to whitewash - and I use that word deliberately - his cynical, deliberate lies. I agree with the sentiments of your other thread. This one, no.

[indie_voter]

40. After these hellish 8 years? I'm a proud sore winner! WHOO HOOO! nt

[stolivodka]

41. Too many died. Too much distruction was caused.

A reckoning must occur for justice to be served.

[Splinter Cell]

49. No thanks.

They've earned a thumb to the eye, and I enjoy giving it to 'em.
