The republicans still can't blame themselves for losing

[Crazy Dave]

Everyone on their side is saying McCain lost because of the Irag war and the bad economy. If not for those two things he would have won. They act like he/they had nothing to do with the them.

Oh yeah, and all those young voters and minority voters coming out to vote for the first time. They're not supposed to do that.

1. The GOP lost because of the liberal jackals in the Media! And the

hippies! And rock'n'roll musicians! And gay people! And all those libruls on the Intertubes!

[marylanddem]

2. great point - and this points to a basic Republican characteristic:

absurd sense of moral superiority

[Crankie Avalon]

3. We would have won if not for our record of the last eight years...

...it's so frigging unfair! Why can't you liberals take enough personal responsibility to see that???

[Crazy Dave]

15. They have totally excluded themselves from the same bills they voted for

And to bring up their voting records in the campaigns was considered dirty campaigning and going negative.

[rurallib]

4. the republics made policy that failed but was supported by their candidate

and they can't understand why they lost? It was Katie Couric's treatment of Palin + Tina Fey.

5. Remember the movie "Lean on Me"?

Morgan Freeman as Joe Clark says to his vice principal after refusing to allow the fire-marshall into the school:

"You know what he's saying right now? 'Black bastard can't throw me out!' But you know where he's saying it? Out in the parking lot!"


That pretty much describes this situation.

[marylanddem]

7. yup. thanks for the laugh!

[AlCzervik]

6. They think they should be more right, can you believe that shit, more right?

[lutefisk]

8. About the only positive thing they say is, "Obama ran an excellent campaign"n/t

[Crazy Dave]

17. And McCain was the only one I heard say it

When he said Obama's name at his concession speech most of his supporters boo'ed. When Obama congratulated McCain for his campaign at his victory speech there was applause.

There's a lot of hate issues amongst GOP supporters and the majority of those are Palin fans.

9. Don't forget the Scooby Doo excuse...

If it werent for you pesky kids and your darned ghost hunting dog.......

[Ashy Larry]

10. That's a good thing.

We don't want them to learn any lessons. They will continue to lose.

[BlueManDude]

11. Obama was a scialist - now he's won because he is "conservative".

[NNN0LHI]

12. Anyone notice ACORN sure had a short shelf life as a propaganda piece?

[tanyev]

13. Nothing that goes wrong is EVER their fault. Oh, no.

[Jim__]

14. McCain might have won if only things had gone better under the bush presidency.

And that, of course, has nothing to do with their policies.

[Historic NY]

16. Have they blamed the Clinton's yet?

[depakid]

18. The McCain campaign had an epic meltdown- the likes of which no one's ever seen before

His positions (the current "mainstream" Republican positions) were as out of touch with the electorate as Goldwater's in 1964- and his behavior was more erratic than Ross Perot's in 1992.

And looking back to the VP in 1992- at least Admiral Stockdale was honest enough to ask "what am I doing here?"

A far cry from the petty, entitled Amway Distributer mentality of Sarah Palin.

[Crazy Dave]

20. I got a visit from the Amway Mafia once

One of my neighbors got into that shit a long time ago and nobody wanted any of their over priced stuff. So they sent a regional honcho to go with her door to door and make the pitch to us again. Those "entitlement" guilt trips he laid on us were, "denying our own neighbor the right to work and make a living by refusing to buy from her" and "why do you feel your family doesn't deserve or isn't good enough for Amway quality products?". I would have been highly offended if it wasn't so hilarious. They did sucker one of my neighbors into signing up for a subscription type thing where once a month they send you the same shit they sent you the month before. I guess the pressure and intimidation was just too much for the poor lady.

19. That's ok, Californians can't accept that about Prop 8 either.
