Tony Snow on Medved radio today & i paraphrase, 'Democrats won by...

[bridgit]

co-opting conservative republicans themes, ideals & principles when you look at the races, who won them, and how their campaigns were run; government should always have a voice for a reform position, and that reformer remains g.w. bush'

not so stunning a statement as it is telling...

in the midst of what i still consider a tremendous show of politic, process & democratic resolve; they, along with hate-radio have not stopped talking for one breath...they are already maneuvering their positions for a continuing two years worth of ever-more shit-talk, and i would that we would teach them further by way of demonstrating clear-eyed, level headed democratic governance that is all

[Supersedeas]

1. oh, you better believe their is no time for self-reflection among fascists

[bridgit]

3. that is the impression i am left with as well...

[aquart]

2. Aww, still trying to control the dialog.

Ignore the irrelevant little wormy things.

[bridgit]

4. well OK, but you are right they're still trying to run the table....

[kenny blankenship]

5. Republicans lost by betraying everything decent

[bridgit]

7. that was the one thing Snow left out...they have forsaken their own tongues...

:thumbsup:

[razors edge]

6. No cooption involved,

they just abandoned the ones all Americans stand for, regardless of the claims the republican's made as to their sole ownership of said values.

[bridgit]

8. caught with their hands in the cookie jar AND their pants down...

[razors edge]

12. Sounds just like Folley. n/t

[LTR]

9. It's the new GOP talking point

Meaning that all the people they accused of being 'liberal' are now 'centrist' and 'conservative'.

:wtf:

The bullshit's so thick you can cut it.

[Blue-Jay]

10. Spin it any way you want to spin it, Tony.

Here's what you need to know: The Republicans are pissing people off. People of ALL backgrounds. When you piss too many people off, you get spanked in elections. Period.

[bridgit]

15. there it is...

:patriot:

[asjr]

11. I hope we, the taxpayers, are

not paying Toady Snow's salary. If we are his wages need to be garnisheed.

[bridgit]

16. oh lord, that's a daunting prospect...

x( dude needs to be out-sourced :thumbsup:

[The Wielding Truth]

13. BushCo still has no credibility! Simple as that!

[bridgit]

17. yep, simple as that...

:)

[TheFarseer]

14. What ideas would those be?

pre-emptive war against Iran? no
privatizing Social Security? no
huge, across the board tax cuts? no
sending our industrial base to China? no
debt and deficit as far as the eye can see? no
big Pharma giveaway instead of fixing health care? no
national sales tax? no

It's so cute to see some of them pretend like they are the big alternative energy guy. It's pretty insulting to our intelligence. They only allow ethanol because they would get wiped out in the MidWest if they didn't

It's so cute to see them pretend like they are fiscally responsible and even cuter that they call that "fiscally conservative" What would "fiscally liberal" be? Spend all the money on food stamps for Muslim illegal aliens and to have "In God we Trust" sand blasted off all the money?

so exactly which republican ideas are we co-opting? I just don't get it!

[bridgit]

26. good point...

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. Pshaw! Who would want to co-opt conservative themes, IDEALS???? and principles???

I wasn't aware they had any Principles.

Michael Medved is dreaming. We won because people saw what THEIR party IS...full of hatred for gays, women, anyone different than them, blacks, Hispanics and they cater to the RELIGIOUS RW WACKOS like Falwell, Dobson and Robertson and they're CORRUPT AS HELL. THEY OWN THIS LOSS. They made their bed and I hope they never get out of it.

[bridgit]

19. well i'm with you: what themes, what ideals, what principles?

:rofl:

[Cameron27]

20. I think Speaker Pelosi

should in no uncertain terms disavow all republicans of that notion, and alert them to the fact that we consider their labeling our party "Democrat" insulting and will challenge them every time they use it.

21. agreed, i've had a take on that for some time now; they are afraid...

to acknowledge dems as: The Democratic Party; because we embody within the handle itself: Democracy...and that pisses them off to no end, they being divisive & derisive at their core, they cannot find it within themselves to acknowledge further a party who's core it is to advocate: Democracy

so i say make them pay for even their simple transgressions, maybe even just a little something, every time they step up to the counter :hi:

[KayLaw]

22. Bull!

I'm tired of this stupidity already. If people like conservative themes, etcetera, they would have voted for the damn Republicans! Also, here in Florida, the only way Charlie Crist won was by acting like a moderate and it sounds like Arnold did the same.

[bridgit]

23. here in cali you know that was the case, Maria & his new dem...

media person, likely sat his ass down and read him that riot act in plain english, it took a year's worth of ah-nold wearing a green tie & acting like a dem and here he is re-elected...

sounds like what happened to your guy too, but the people out here are still watching, we already stuffed four initiatives up his ass he thought his star power alone would get passed...not so

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

24. Boy just filled with humility, these Republicans!

[bridgit]

25. some dogs just can't be taught...
