I'm so happy. Now we're going to have put up with Stalinists. Heh.

 

[JustOneWay]

What a wonderful day

I have never seen so many republicans in the political forum, and so angry. It is nice to see them with the short end of the stick.

 

[KCDAD]

Yeah, a one percent, and half percent victory... sweep!

How do explain Leiberman winning?

How do explain Leiberman winning?

He got more votes than the other guy

 

[Rosco]

Yeah, a one percent, and half percent victory... sweep!

How do explain Leiberman winning?

Of course it's a sweep. It's a sweep because they won. We should all bow before them for their 1.5% sweep.

 

[Loukuss]

He got more votes than the other guy

You are a political genius!!

 

[trunks2k]

Yeah, a one percent, and half percent victory... sweep!

How do explain Leiberman winning?

It is a sweep. Both houses were up for grabs and the Dems got them both, that makes it a sweep. How much they managed to win them by is irrelevant, all that matters is that they won.

 

[KatebelongstoJesus]

So happy, we needed change and now we have it!

 

[noparty]

Yeah, a one percent, and half percent victory... sweep!

Taking the House, Senate, and majority of governorships is a sweep.

How do explain Leiberman winning?

Lieberman is a Democrat who ran as an independent because he did not win the primary. He is still a Democrat.

Tiger uppercut.

The party abandoned him... they selected whatshisname because Leiberman suppported the war in Iraq. Leiberman's win was not a Democrat win.
Your thinking reflects Pelosi's statement before the election that all there was to do to be successful was to win the election... no vision or plans for what to do next. Remember the scene with Robert Redford in The Candidate? "So, what do we do now?"
I hope hope you guys remember this moment... sear it into your memories... for in two years you will have to be able to show you have done something... ANYONE can criticize a incumbant administration with no chance of reelection and garner support, but it altogether another thing to propose real solutions... I haven't seen any from the Democrats.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!

 

[Pepperoni]

Yup, simple as that. Thankfully the dems have come to save the say and rescue us all from our impending doom.

Had it been the same numbers, but in favor of the other party, Bush would have used the 'mandate' word again.

I'm not sure why you're so interested in arguing over the semantics of whether it was a "sweep" or not. But here are a couple sources which refer to it as a sweep that you might be more willing to accept:

My thinking? I haven't expressed any opinions in this thread, nor am I a Democrat.

I hope hope you guys remember this moment... sear it into your memories... for in two years you will have to be able to show you have done something... ANYONE can criticize a incumbant administration with no chance of reelection and garner support, but it altogether another thing to propose real solutions... I haven't seen any from the Democrats.

If the Republican-controlled House, Senate, and White House had proposed "real solutions" over the past 6 years, would this thread exist?

 

[KCDAD]

That is not responsive. It is rhetorical and speculative, irrefutable and unsupportable... so why waste your time writing it, unless you can't answer the original question and are trying to change the subject?

Can we at least get the pocket dems on here to show their political icon now that their party can show their face in public again?
