Alright, what's with all the newbies who are "conservative...but"...

[VelmaD]

Seems like there are a lot of them around today. Conservative but just looking to hear both sides. Or conservative but tired of the bickering. Or conservative but no longer a fan of Georgie. Or conservative but think we should all hold hands and sing Kumba Ya now that they've LOST.

I just have one question for all of them...where was this great desire for cooperation and playing nice even just a week ago when your pretzeldent was saying that a win for the Dems was a win for the terrorists? Where was it when it was your party that held every rein of power in the government? Huh?

1. go girl, keep channeling our dear Ann Richards!

and her famous Where Was George speech!!!

exactly right.... where WERE all these "conservative butts" two weeks ago?

my guess, they were GOTV-ing for their fallen "heroes".

i say these newbies are all moles. phooey on 'em.

[VelmaD]

2. apparently I'm not...

being nice enough to them. *snort*

[Sapere aude]

3. Some may be genuine. I sure would like to see a less divided America.

I would like to see a media that doesn't play us one against the other for ratings. I would like to see us work together for the common good. If that's why some newbies are coming here, I welcome them.

[VelmaD]

6. Maybe it's me...

but Ive just seen one too many instance where republican calls to "work together" really just meant "do what we say".

[seabeyond]

4. or the you lost.... deal with it. or who stood up to their party when they

said i was unamerican, terrorist, unpatriotic and worse... not a christian. it is going to be a long time before i forgive the republican allowing their party to challenge my spirituality

5. It's like on The Simpsons when Kent Brockman

already succumbed to the alien ant invaders. People just jump on over to the winning side, regardless. Not much for scruples when the going gets tough.

[VelmaD]

8. I figure they won't last long here...

without protective equipment. :evilgrin:

7. How bout you welcome the people here and maybe the Democratic Party will grow?

Truth has no anger...and I sense a lot of anger from you.

[VelmaD]

9. Amazing Jedi skills you got there

:eyes:

Yeah, I'm angry. I'm in Texas and the "blue tsunami" passed us completely by yesterday. I am still stuck in a state where EVERY state-wide office is held by republicans. There is no call to bi-partisanship from the rethugs in Texas today. We still have the unadulterated variety.

So forgive me if I'm not interested in the recent converts. I know what they'd be like today if they had won. I'm living it.

To quote Will Pitt...anger is a gift.

12. Didn't Rush say Republicans had taken over the Democratic party?

Guess that's what he meant?

[VelmaD]

13. Sorry...that was a little too obscure for me

What exactly did you mean?

[Generic Other]

15. I thought that's what Rush said that their side had taken over our side

Of course it doesn't make any sense. Coming from Rush why would it? I think he's saying those Repubs who abandoned the right to vote left were stealth Repubs planning to steal our party as part of their masterplan to defeat us. You're right it makes no sense. But it would explain all the "I'm conservative but I've joined you guys now" posts...

[VelmaD]

17. ah...

I think I get it now.

Rush is an idiot.

[Left Is Write]

14. I feel for you...

same story here in Idaho. :hug:

[LostinVA]

10. Oh boy -- VelmaD is right

They are all over here, some causing trouble.

[musette_sf]

11. all progressives have been angry

for quite some time. where ya been?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. truth has no anger?

the truth is that republican foreign policy has endangered us all. i am angry about it.

the truth is that republican domestic policy feeds on bigotry. i am angry about it.

the truth is the republican are damaging the environment to an irreperable degree. i am fucking angry about it.

etc...

[Laelth]

16. When Repukes are in control ...

it's always "my way or the highway."

When Democrats are in control, it's always "let's work together."

Makes me ill. Fight, Democrats! Stand up for me, please! Stand with the base. No "playing nice" with conservatives!

:mad:

19. if democrats want to get their ass handed to them again -- then play nice.

i'm not in the mood and i want our now victorious warriors to get the idea -- this isn't the era of playing nice.

repukes will EAT you if you do.

[BlooInBloo]

20. You know those lil fish that swim next to sharks n eat their shit?

That's who you're talking about.
