11/3    BTW, fellow liberal hosers:
        The number one problem we have is the image of the "liberal elite":
        Unpatriotic, not proud to be an American, rich, not hard-working
        and lounging at sushi bars (thanks psb for that latter idea),
        saying and believing anything to win the election (gay marriage?),
        valuing spotted owls above jobs, being critical instead of optimistic,
        and not supporting our soldiers.
        (I'm stressing "image" of the liberal elite.  I am not saying this
        is how it actually is ... if you don't know what I'm talking about,
        do two things.  (1) Watch Team America: World Police.  (2) Read this
        thread:  http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1269267/posts
        \_ I did a study 1998-ish where I tried to talk to the occupant of
           any house that sported an American flag.  Most of them are
           initially surprised by my knocking on their door, but they became
           quite talkative once I explained myself.  Out of 23 houses that
           I visited in Northern California (mainly around the Peninsula)
           and in suburban Boston (around Wilmington and Norwood), 21 self-
           identified as Republican.  The other 2 households were around
           Boston and were Pats fans.  This has no scientific value, but I
           thought the result was interesting nevertheless.
        \_ I disagree. It's a combination of uncharismatic leaders, the
           image of giving free stuff to poor "welfare queens" etc. and
           the abortion/gays/guns/god stuff. Culturally, John and Teresa
           are out of step with regular people, just the way they talk.
           A guy like Clinton had much better rapport with people.
           \_ Yeah, I also wanted to add "out of touch with the average
              American" to the list.  Remember, it's the perception of
              what a liberal is.  All those freeper posts about how happy
              the libs lost -- they are talking about this image. -op
              \_ bullshit.  the liberals tend to lose because of pussies like
                 you.  do you think that if bush lost, they'd all be sighing
                 on the freeper boards about how their extremist rightwing
                 religious agenda is out of the mainstream?  of course not.
                 they'd be shaking their fists over it, and demanding blood
                 in 2008.
                 \_ Whatever you say man. -op

5/16    Can anyone tell me what Greece is hoping for by rejecting austerity?
        From here it seems like the austerity is a pretty generous attempt
        to keep Greece from imploding entirely.   Are they hoping the
        Germans will put them on eternal state welfare, or what?
        Also, why would an outright default mean they must leave the Euro?
        Is it just that they won't be able to pay basic gvmt services

           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent

8/5     Regarding NKorea relesing the journalists, here's what I think the

        - Both agree that Kim needs to save, or gain, face to pave the way for
          his son's succession and for NK's stability.
        - Both agree that Obama doesn't like losing face by publicly

jcb8199 I know I probably shouldn't but I am curious--I feel kinda guilty about t he fact that, while I am elated taht W won, I am ecstatic even more that the Left lost. View Replies To: jcb8199 I know I probably shouldn't but I am curious--I feel kinda guilty about t he fact that, while I am elated taht W won, I am ecstatic even more that the Left lost. A) Happy Bush won B) Happy the Left lost Both, of course. But Bush has some farsighted policies I support such a missil e defense program and space research that it'd be hard for any Democrat to get away with advocating. And GWB's being against unrestricted aborti on rights and being pro marriage suits me far better than the stereotypi cal litmus test positions that are all that are allowed for any Democrat candidate. I'm extremely relieved that this country made the correct choice for our times and the fact that it really REALLY gets under liberals' skin is ju st icing on the cake. I wouldn't give anything associated with liberals the abi lity to alter my mood. As far as I'm concerned (and apparently the rest of the nation too) the libs are a non-entity as of today. I think Kerry would have been a disaster, but frankly I think W really has to get back on his game. The election has been a distraction and we have a lot of problems to tackle. View Replies To: jcb8199 I wanted to just continue my "anti-democrat" stance. But gosh darn it, by the time it was all said and done, I ended up fallin g for Dubya. But I like Bush the person, despit e his willingness to compromise and grow government. View Replies To: jcb8199 Both--but I'm more happy that the left lost. They've been showing their t rue colors for years now, and maybe the Dems will get a clue that pallin g up to the likes of Al Franken and Michael Moore is going to lose them more elections. last Disclaimer: Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily represent the opinion of Free Republic or its management.
