Is anyone really surprised even after the Republicans lost, Dems are still name calling and hating on here?

They will never change. They hate, defame and destroy all who do not worship at their feet!

I hear you loud and clear. I don't think you should be so quick to pass a pessimistic judgment just yet. The democrats did win, but with fiscally and socially conservative democrats. I think Shumer and all of the other usual suspects will find a lot of in fighting and power struggles with these newly elected conservative democrats. As for Conyers, he will make an obviously politically charged, yet unsuccessful attempt to impeach Bush. All this man wants is revenge for Clinton's impeachment. He is forgetting one major component, Clinton unlike Bush, actually violated the law and told fantastic lies that no one in their right mind could believe.

They got a "thumpin' ".\n\nBut seriously, it's not all Republicans ... and second, we Democrats have had our bitter moments too.  (The 2000 election, in particular, was a brutal pill.)\n\nPeople have to remember that part of being in a democracy is that sometimes your guy loses.  It's the ability to say "we lost this time, but THAT'S OKAY" that distinguishes a democracy from, say, the Sunnis vs. Shiites ... where the majority assumes that its role is to begin oppressing the minority, and the minorty assumes that its role it to try and overthrow the majority by force.\n\nAnd when you are the majority, you need to govern with the knowledge that *someday you will be the minority again.*  So you need to treat the minority with the same respect you hope to get in return someday.  I look at Karl Rove, Tom DeLay, Trent Lott, Dennis Hastert, etc. and say, they forgot got that.\n\nI.e. they are bitter because they are expecting us to behave like just as big a group of a**holes as they were.  \n\nI personally hope we prove them wrong.

Amen!! I really can't stand to see partisan whining from either side - they're both greedy and corrupt. Most Americans are pretty moderate, myself included, and while I'm not overly thrilled with the way the election turned out, I'm certainly willing to give the newly elected the benefit of the doubt. I won't be whining about voter fraud or any of that crap. It's over - accept it with grace, fellow Republicans. And Democrats with any amount of class will be graceful about their gains.\n\nHere's to the American people!

it seems those who actually think so are mostly the republicans who are on a different page politically...they're attempts to pounce on kerry's badly worded barb agains bush didnt do anything to stem the democratic victory wave....kerry's misfortune is in his timing since most americans were still strongly supporting bush's effort in iraq in 2004 as opposed to the current situation.....

The reason why you are seeing so may posts that are essentially "HA! In your face republicans! How do you like me now!?" Is because those people are gloating in a 'win'.\n\nThe ***overwhelming*** majority of the posts that I've come across like this don't have a ***real*** question any where in the "question". It's just folks gloating. No new information. No legitimate request for information. Just gloating.\n\nYou see this ***same*** type of behavior when rival sporting teams compete. The fans of the winning team will gloat and say things like "How do you like those apples?"\n\nIn point of fact they are not intrested in even the slightest way shape or form how the fans of the loseing team feel about apples.\n\nIn short... let them gloat. None of this will matter in any real scence until 2008. For the time being it's pretty much status quo and gearing up for the next big thing.\n\nHope this helps!

I'm sure they're writhing in agonizing pain, contemplating suicide and indulging in mind-numbing narcotics.\n\nHonestly...did they really think, that after all the corruption, the scandals with the mistresses and young boys, Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, the "war" in Iraq, the lying and misleading, that they'd honestly win. \n\nTheir own people voted against them.\n\nKudos to the Independents who banded together and voted Democrat.  Couldn't have done it at a better time.\n\nWhat's all the whining for, Repubs?  I mean, honestly, do you think that after everything that's happened, the Democrats will somehow make things worse?  C'mon. You're kidding yourselves.\n\nJust sit back and enjoy the ride.

it matters when people keep saying it was a "landslide" and republicans got their "asses kicked" like PLEASE PEOPLE.  if you say it's the highest turnout for a non-presidential election, guess HOW MANY RACES WERE SUPER CLOSE???  Idiots.  So The dems are in control, that is fine, but I find it hilarious when people are trying to gloat, when really, big deal.  and what was that idiot girl above me?  the same thing happened to CLinton.  \nsaying Sore loser and such to you, they can't answer your question, all they want is to gloat like the little pigs they are.   Yes, you won, we give that to you, but quit making it this mockery of bush and the republicans, cause really IT WASN'T.  especially not in my state, that remained red.  There was no ass kicking here.  dummies.

LMAO\n\nThat brings up an idea:   supposedly democrats are doing well in the mid-term elections, and yet they are hiding from their liberal media friends.  Shouldn't they be excited and celebrating?  If they hide when things go well, imagine what they will do if they regain power and things go BAD? \n\nI fear for our safety with Pelosi in power.

For the record, I voted early today, Sunday, I stood in a line for over an hour. I spoke to many others in that line, Dems, Reps, and Unaffiliated. I (a Dem) left work to vote today, because I can't take off from MY JOB, to vote on Tuesday.\nIt's sad really. The republicans were once a party that could be respected, even by Democrats. There was once a time we could appreciate a great Politician, regardless of party lines. It is sad, really, that the once great republican party has now nothing better to do than spend their time being hate mongers, and throwing horrible slurs and generalizations.\nI'll see you on Tuesday.

Every republican here is UPSET about welfare, and demand reform, and know welfare is STEALING THEIR $$$.\n\nBut I already know from previous question I've asked they actually know ZIP about it.  They just like to bitch and talk out of their ass.

I haven't heard that yet, but here's my thought on it.  Yes it's a flip flop to an extent.  But I'd guess that now that Democrats have won the house they would want to get Rumsfled as far away from any hearings that may be called.  Then of course blame the entire sinking ship on him.

It's all rederick and useful propoganda to use against one another during election time (especially) but it's all screwed up right now because the Republicans are getting most of the heat because of the War, and all the problems that have arisen from that alone are huge, and a big deal to the overall majority of Americans so it's great ammo to use if your a democrat and a politician trying to run a successful campaign to Win a seat in office....dont you think? (even though we know it's all the same BS from both sides ) If your a Republican your going to use the fact that Liberals support immigration and some sort of work program as a sign of being whimpy and not protecting our borders ....its all BS. What have the Republicans done to protect our border? what have either party done thus far?? Nothing in my mind. I think it is up to the American people to stand up and say " Enough Already!" Demand real answers, a real plan, real priorities they have set aside, when it becomes a blame glame match it is up to us to be the mediator and to stop it. We really need to overall demand more from the people we elect in office so these kinds of blame games dont happen as much or as often, and they stick to the issue or topic at hand! Period!

the republicans are busted for not doing their job for- how long now? at this point they're just trying to save face.\n\ndemocrats suck too.\n\nWE NEED A NEW PARTY

I honestly believe the majority was just tired of the democrats bullshit!  Now that the Republicans have had it for a while....  Well aren't you tired of their BS too?\n\nSame guy /   Different face  /  Somewhat the same agenda!

We'd still be hearing Rush screaming about it today if the Liberals had stolen the election instead of the Republicans.\n\nAnd then, if the Dems had stolen the next election as well, like the GOP did, boy oh boy would they be crying foul.

Well, I have to agree with the one respondant who asked how you can ask a question, and then answer it, and still be open-minded. \nYou're obviously using this as a means to try to give an opinion to further your cause.\n\nThe problem here is, that you are correct: many key democrats are assuming they have won. As I recall, they assumed they won with Kerry. A very arrogant bunch. In my not so humble opinion. Rather than stating, "If we win", they seem to be claiming victory already. \n\nOne of the big problems with many of the democrats is, (again, in my opinion) because this was a war that was during the Bush administration, they will whine about it being horrible, how bad Bush was, blah, blah, blah. While we all know, if this happened when Gore were in, and, if Gore had the guts to go to war, then it would be the Republicans whining about the war, and the Democrats praising his efforts.\n\nBecause the President's popularity skyrocketed as a result of how he handled 9-11, the democrats had one way to stop the bleeding. They attacked the one place that was killing them. As the economy got better, they kept trying to demonstrate how poor the economy was. That backfired, so, they returned to the war efforts. Slowly but surely, they have convinced many Americans that we did the wrong thing going into Iraq. Of course, they know Iraq is better off already; but will be much better off once they stablize. What we as a nation do not understand is, they have lived their entire lives much like this. Everyday waking up is a crapshoot. They lived under the tyranny of the evil dictator,Sadam. \n\nSince I did not ask the question, I feel very comfortable answering your question, saying Yes, for the most part, voting for most Democrats, is indeed voting for the enemy. \n\nBush promised us this war on terror would be long and arduous. He promised us that we would not stop when we win one battle, but, we would continue on to any nation that supports terrorism. Iraq was next. Iran will follow. North Korea is in line. We'll see how Lybia, and Pakistan and other countries fall in.\n\nTo the poster above mine:\nAs good as when Sadam was in power? \nOh my! When you live under those conditions, maybe then those words wont sound so rediculous!
