that would mean that a team was beaten really badly, and the score was 7-0 or something, like when liverpool beat birmingham in the fa cup 5th round. other synonyms may include - a whitewash, a pasting, walking all over them, they hammered them, they wiped the floor with them. alan hansen has a particular way with this sort of stuff.

That's an interesting point. I don't know if you could say conservatives or liberals were defeated because it was all about the war. Liberals were sort of defeated last time because they got beaten so badly and now they are afraid to be liberals so they are moderates. Conservatives sort of got defeated this time and now everyone has to be more in the middle, which is kind of a good thing

When you win at any game, it shows that you are good in that game hence you are a "Good Sport."\nHowever the term "Good Sport" also means the opposite of a sore loser.  \nTherefore being a "Good Sport" means that you are able to lose graciously and the only way to prove that you are able to accept defeat without being a sore loser is to lose the game. \nThis(losing) is the "only bad part" of the game because no one really likes to lose!\n\n(PS i hope you understand!!)

They HAVE been defeated, yet they have to make up lies in here to soften the blow.  This is the start of one of the greater periods in our country.  We got our country BACK!  We won!  And we're gonna do better than they have while they were in control.

It's the same as "blow your top" I believe. Basically, it means lose control/go crazy.

is this too general? That success is to overcome something you been trying to overcome all or most of your life. Like what? plenty: Get out of debt, find lost family member, drug addictions, other addictions - gambling, sexual, drinking, bad mouthing, etc.; Forgiving someone you thought you never will, submission to someone or a higher authority like God Himself. Something that dogged you for what seem like eternity and you need to overcome. That's one definition of success 4 myself.
