4. No
I like winning. It's the natural evolution for aware humans. Bitter right wing closet dwellers will hate this next phase.

7. Only if the party establishment gets cocky and greedy....
...by assuming that a certain blue state U.S. Senator will become the country's savior simply based on her name recognition, so-called "star power," and anti-Bush backlash.

National politics is way more complicated than that. Yes, Carville, I'm talking to you!

11. Precisely--and it would help if the OP would have offered some
explanation or example. I suspect that he/she may not return to this thread...

Lot of drive-bys in the 'hood lately, it seems.

16. Using Republican tactics or giving in to the context they force would.
They are selfishness defined. We try to be inclusive, tolerant, and understanding. It's best if we maintain this position, and forgive them for their limitations, and help to them see and choose a better way.

17. "Will winning destroy us?" "The Question Mark" from Jon Stewart:
"The Question Mark: A prophylactic protecting FOX News from anything it might contract during its extensive GOP c**ksucking?"

Not sure it will work on this drive-by, which everyone has seen through already.

22. How about....
....we don't let the media define us. How about we allow people to speak their minds, express their opinions without critizing, judging and labelling them. Why can't someone just say something and you agree or disagree. Why does it have to be analyzed and have all sorts of hidden meaning.

25. It is Pointing out the flaws
Democratic winning has shown me, the netroots have no idea what to do now.

So what they are going to do, is re-fight this election for the next two years.

So be prepared to be real bored. And not all here, but most sites I see this.


Oh yeah, and they will fight the the 2008 election. So get ready for, don't you love, blah, do you believe, blah, we did this, not blah.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

And what will it take for Democrats to learn the media is lying scum. But every day you will see, do you believe MSMFOXAP said this.

Yes, I have been watching. The media needs a fight. And Democrats will not be able to get passed this pissing contest.

If Democrats could quit beating each other, and I relly don't care who started it, and accept the fact, all Dems aren't Che Guevera, and ignore the Republican media, they could get something done. So far, not happening.

28. Most Dems that I know...
...are NOT being sore winners. Any smart person knows that winning the election was the EASY part; governing is going to be the real challenge in the midst of a failed presidency and a failed war with an angry electorate.

29. The only way we could ever be as sore as the Repukes
Is to pass legislation forcing them to all have gay marriages with illegal aliens and tax all corporations and wealthy people at a 200 percent rate. Those bastards are the worst sore winners known to mankind.

32. Stop the BS and Stop Listening to the Media
So far the Democrats are not becoming sore winners. I think that is the just the media trying to make people doubt their decision to vote for the Democrats. Pelosi did not have a defeat yesterday and she did not lose any clout. Not voting for Murtha had nothing to do with Pelosi, in my opinion. I think Democrats were scared away from Murtha when the media brought up the bribe that Murtha DID NOT TAKE 25 years ago. I think many Democrats felt that since they had won Congress partly on the promise to clean up the corruption they could not elect anyone who had even a hint of corruption as the leadership of the House. So I think the Democrats found themselves in a bit of a no win situation. Either they back Pelosi and have the media come out screaming that the Democrats are not really trying to clean up Congress, or they go against Pelosi and have the media continue with the regular meme that the Democrats cannot find a way to work together. I think Democrats should look at how bad the Republicans were when they took control on the whole Congress. They were at each others throats immediately. I do not think it has come to that yet for the Democrats and I do not think it will.

So James Carville is coming out and saying that he wants Howard Dean fired as Democratic Chairman. In addition, Liberman is still considering leaving the Democratic Party for the Republican Party. I do not think either of those things are that surprising. I am not sure Carville ever liked Dean and Liberman has been flirting with the Republican Party for a little while, at least. Partly, I think Liberman is just doing this as pay back to the Democratic Party and to make the party sweat.
