17 Reasons To Give Thanks
17 Reasons To Give Thanks
This Thanksgiving, progressives have a lot to be thankful for. Here’s our list:
We’re thankful we’ll soon have a president who will hit the ground running instead of a president who is running the country into the ground.
We’re thankful that Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow are demonstrating every night how strong and intelligent progressive voices can be successful on TV.
We’re thankful we live in a center-left America rather than “Hannity’s America.”
We’re thankful John McCain has more time to spend in the houses he owns…even if he can’t remember them all.
We’re thankful Sarah Palin has more time to watch over Russia and warn us in case Vladimir Putin ever “rears his head.”
We’re thankful that we’re moving closer towards a complete withdrawal from Iraq.
We’re thankful for the thousands of protesters who took to the streets across America to push for marriage equality.
We’re not thankful for neo-McCarthys, neo-Hoovers, neo-Nazis, and neocons.
We’re thankful for Tina Fey.
We’re thankful to be liberal hacks.
We’re not thankful for hack operatives burrowing into career civil service jobs.
We’re more thankful for Vice President Joe Biden and “Morning Joe” than Joe Lieberman and “Joe the Plumber.”
We’re thankful that our troops will be able to get the education they so richly deserve.
We’re thankful for the “Mustache of Justice,” “Rahmbo,” “Axe,” and “Skippy.”
We’re thankful that reality still has a liberal bias.
We’re thankful that there are only 54 days left until the end of the George W. Bush presidency.
We’re thankful for the progressive mandate to govern.
Happy Thanksgiving!
P.S. We’re also very thankful to have readers like you! What are you thankful for? Let us know in the comments section.

I am thankful for the end of "the reign of terror!"
November 27th, 2008 at 9:32 amI'm thankful the Bush administration is on their way out, and an opportunity presents itself to right the wrongs they've perpetrated.
I'm really grateful for my smart, happy, and beautiful kids and a loving husband that aims to keep 'em that way. Now I get to go back to the kitchen...yeah, I have a kitchen!
November 27th, 2008 at 9:43 amI'm thankful for YOU, Think Progress. Without terrorist, socialist, communist interweb sites like this one, I don't think we'd be counting down 54 days to President Elect Barack Obama.
November 27th, 2008 at 9:43 amI am very grateful that the USA has come out of the cave of fear generated by the far right.
We have entered an age of reason.
I pray that the vision remains clear and based on the constitution.
November 27th, 2008 at 9:49 amI am thankful that we will get our country back on January 20th - Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
November 27th, 2008 at 9:52 amNorm....
It is a citizen's right and duty to work to change the government if it does not do its job.
Open and continuous discussion is the heart of democracy and is well supported by the constitution and bill of rights.
November 27th, 2008 at 9:52 amI am thankful for a president-elect who is intelligent, down to earth, knowledgeable, competent, and a man of good will. I am thankful I can awake from my nightmare to once again live with comfort and trust despite the difficult times that will continue. I am thankful I can be confident he will slowly whittle down the terrible times wrought by those with lust for power and money. I am thankful my state finally turned blue, and I am thankful to all who recognized in Barack Obama the leadership skills dedicated to the good of the country, to those who worked for his election, and all those who voted him into office.
November 27th, 2008 at 9:55 amI am thankful we are not wondering how Obama will rebuild the ruins of Tehran.
I am thankful for lions like Dennis Kucinich and Russ Feingold, elected officials who actually talk about what's going on. Impeachment would have been better but voting most of them out is good too.
I am thankful for the Americans and other allies (i.e. Iraqi translators) working in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries because they basically get no coverage at all now though it's just as important.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:00 amI am thanksful for all my fellow liberals who stood up for our convictions despite being labels as traitors, unAmerican and a host of other horrible epithets by those who wished to kill our democracy and establish a theocratic American Empire in its place.
Because of our grassroots efforts, we can once again be hopeful that our American future will be bright, and progressive.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:04 amAnd--while we all wish Ann Coulter a speedy recovery--we're thankful, for the symbolism, that her jaw has been wired shut.
We are Basking in the Bama:

@hailardri - that was a snark comment. ThinkProgress has done a terrific job of keeping us informed of things we rarely hear of in the MSM. Most of which refer to sites like ThinkProgress as "leftist, terrorist, communist, etc."
I'm THANKFUL for ThinkProgress. Lighten up, Francis.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:17 amI am most Thankful for the Internets.
Without this invaluable innovation, we'd still have to take the MSM's word for most things, and the government's word for the rest. While there were pockets of true patriotic reporters before the web, many of them were censored or drowned out by the corporate media.
No longer..
Now, whether some corporate butt-kissing lackey agrees/approves or not, more information gets to us, the people, faster and in more diverse ways than ever before. Thank God.
Think about how fast the alerts went out about pet food poisonings once the information was available...then consider if the traditional media were controlling the message. Even now, as soon as melamine was detected in US baby formula, there has been an instant backlash and demand for a recall:
Imagine this information solely at the discretion of the corporate mainstream media. The web has allowed the public to be much more informed as a proper and functioning democracy.
And don't get me started on the innumerable scandals and corruption we have been able to learn about through independent sources.
I am most Thankful this year for the internet! Thanks Al!
(p.s. And a close, close second to sites like TP and Americablog, Michael Moore and Rawstory...for their tireless efforts on our behalf.)
With much Thanksgiving.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:19 ami am thankful that once again we can travel abroad without having to claim we're Canadians
November 27th, 2008 at 10:21 amJohn Kerry Says:
cry MOAR biatch.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:30 amI am thankful that John Kerry is too big a pussy to hang around. I am also thanful that that dipshit and that stupid Privacy Center will soon be gone yet again...
November 27th, 2008 at 10:37 amI'm thankful that the end of the most horrible, lawless administration in American history is nearly at an end, and HOPE survived and has been reborn again in our country.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:49 amI am thankful for for the Internets or the "toobz", even though we still have to put up with right wing crazy side of the nets, bringing the truth to people every day. Because we aren't getting it from the corporate media these days.
I am thankful that the right-wingers are so crazy and "out-there" unreasonable.
I am grateful for friends and family and a community that cares.
And I am thankful for Chocolate.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:52 amI'm thankful that the tears I shead on November 5th and 6th were tears of joys this election.
I'm thankful that our service men and women have a real chance to come home from Iraq, permanently.
I'm thankful that the rest of the world seems willing to forgive America for the last eight years, and wants to help us help President Obama succeed.
I'm thankful for my wonderful family (not actually 4th on my list, but this is a political blog after all)
I'm thankful for my friends here at TP, both our brilliant writers and my fellow commenters.
I'm thankful that science will once again play a role in, well, science and that we finally have a realistic chance to save our earth.
I'm thankful that I don't need to fret over the next few Supremes.
I'm thankful that a new generation of voters aren't caught up in the GOP's fear of teh gays, and that equal rights for all, long overdue, are closer to becoming a reality in our nation.
And most of all, I'm thankful for the man who is Barack Obama, and for the citizens of our country who actually voted for the best person for the job. I'm hopeful for the first time in years.
Happy Thanksgiving to all! (even you trolls...)
PEACE
November 27th, 2008 at 11:02 amI am thankful that this is a well-maintained blog with a reasonable dialog and tone.
People share experience, strength, and hope. This site does not have threads of 300+ comments that each proclaim the post above it is a troll.
I am grateful that there are other sites that act as "flypaper for fools". In keeping with the overall tone of this site, I will not mention any of them.
I imagine that most here have visited many of the other self-proclaimed "liberal sites" and have seen what I mean.
Thanks EVERYONE for keepin' the bloggin' fun and informative!
November 27th, 2008 at 11:06 amI am thankful for the increasing number of citizens who see through the disingenuous semantics of the right. While anti-union, anti-gay and pro-choice will still be constructed, respectively, as "right to work," "pro-family" and "pro-abortion" we have a new generation of critical thinkers.
I am thankful for this country's educators who are creating more and more critical thinkers.
I am thankful for scientists who have been targeted during a movement of anti-intellectualism.
I am thankful to Toynbee, Burke, Bartlett and Gibbon and all of the historians from the past who provide dispassionate scholarship at a time when David Barton's fiction might otherwise be more accepted.
Above all, I am thankful for the majority of our citizens who could look past the superficial (a black guy with a middle name of "Hussein") and elect Barack Obama.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:11 amI am thankful that we will have an understanding in the future of the civil rights violations and power abuses by this administration. There might not be memos kept or tapes, but people will come forward over time to say how terrible these people have been.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:14 amTP summed up the one thing I'm most thankful for this year when you wrote this:
I only wish we could some how fast forward the calendar 55 days.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:15 amWe’re thankful that our troops will be able to get the education they so richly deserve.
You might want to amend that one to say that people who enlist after August, 2009 will be entitled to educational benefits. I was shocked to read that they did not make the bill retroactive. That means that all the soldiers who fought so bravely in Bush's Folly won't see a dime of educational benefits.

November 27th, 2008 at 11:30 amGreetings from Chicago!

so, at this time, i am thankful for that!
my daughter if off to guatemala for a language learning trip tomorrow... so, until she arrives back home 12/15, i will be holding my breath!
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
take care and be good!
November 27th, 2008 at 11:31 amI am thankfull for not being alone when it comes to making life better for all of us and not just the rich. Thank you Think Progress!!!!

I truly believe that Obama would not be our President Elect if it was not for the internet. Think of how many times people on the internet exposed the lies of McCain/Palin and eventually forced the MSM to report those lies.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:35 amI am thankful that we are holding our own home grown WAR CRIMINALS to account. Well....I'm thankful that I can still dream and speak.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:40 amI am thankful that finally we have a chance for peace on earth and good will towards man. If anyone can pull it off, it's President Elect Barack Hussein Obama.
I am thankful that all my retirement money is safely tucked away in CD's and not in the stock market.
I am thankful that I am debt free and have a job.
I am thankful that we can finally laugh at the trolls who come here.
Have a great thanksgiving everyone. I'm sharing mine with my Unitarian Church this afternoon. This is a church where 40 out of the 120 protesters against Prop 8 in Corvallis, on the protest Saturday, were from our church.

Boy I'll spend some time today scratching my head over that comment. I have enough trouble understanding without the What??? of that comment? Double entendre? Snarkyness? A compliment or a condemnation? Woe is me.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:45 amsee #12
November 27th, 2008 at 11:49 amI'm grateful that, despite the horror of the present times, there is still plenty to laugh about, at, etc.
Sarah Palin--pure comedy GOLD, baby!
November 27th, 2008 at 12:07 pmwhoa... after reading the comments, i realize, HOW COULD I FORGET?!?!
i am SO grateful for ThinkProgress and the wonderful people who comment here!
i agree that without the internets and progressive sites the election of Barack Obama would not have happened... and so, thanks for that!
November 27th, 2008 at 12:13 pmI am thankful for all the WONDERFUL progressive people that I have met and worked with over the last year. I'm thankful that my daughter got to go to College this year. I'm thankful for the health and happiness of all my family. And, oh boy, am I thankful for this turkey! Yum. (and I'm thankful that my grandmother taught me how to cook it!)
November 27th, 2008 at 12:23 pmAnd all you folks who have been so smart and funny and interesting. Thank you all.
I'm thankful we have a president-elect who believes in the rule of law and Constitution.
I'm thankful we have a president-elect who does not believe the Constitution is "just a F-ing piece of paper."
I'm thankful we will have a new administration that believes the American people should have a voice.
I'm thankful the American people demanded to have a voice – I’'m just thankful for the American people.
November 27th, 2008 at 12:27 pmHappy thanksgiving to all, even you john kerry troll.
Great comments all.....well except for jk troll who is a sad case. He can't even let his anger go on this one day of national unity and inclusiveness. I feel sorry for him.
I am very thankful that we have this new chance at peace and prosperity......
November 27th, 2008 at 12:35 pmI'm thankful for you, Think Progress. You're the greatest!
I'm also thankful I won't have to leave America, now that the sensible people are back in charge.
November 27th, 2008 at 12:51 pmI am thankful for the internet...because without it, those who are dedicated to exposing the truth would not be heard. I am thankful for those who are passionate about returning our Country to the principles of our founding fathers. I am thankful that that we were able to band together and elect a new President who gives us some hope.
November 27th, 2008 at 12:52 pmI'm thankful for the new SOFA agreement in Iraq. (yeaaaa):(
Thank you George Bush for not letting us see it or our Govt. to have a say.:(
Thank you Iraqi Govt. for letting us put our troops under YOUR command.(where is the right wing outrage on that one?)
Thank you Iraqi Govt. for letting us spend 10 billion a month there for the next 3 years. (10b x 12 = 120b x 3y = 360 b.)
Thank you, SOFA agreement, for not being worth the paper that you're written on so that after 3 years we can scrap you and do it all over again.
The 100 year occupation is alive and well.

November 27th, 2008 at 12:59 pmHi Lush:
November 27th, 2008 at 1:06 pmHow's the drunken road building going?
I'm thankful that we almost have our country back! And I'm thankful for the great work and research all of you dedicated folks at Think Progress do! We are blessed with our freedom, the knowledge of how valuable it is, and the courage to protect it.
November 27th, 2008 at 1:08 pmI'm thankful for a CHANGE!!!!
And that I did find a nice job after being unemployed for 3 months...
And that although my equity is gone, the value of the house is still slightly higher than the purchase price (phew)...
And that my family will all be together, healthy, and happy today...
And that websites like this one exist!
November 27th, 2008 at 1:11 pmI'm thankful that we took the first steps on Nov 4th of taking our country back, now all we have to do is stand behind our President and help in all ways we can and pray to God those secret service men do their very best in protecting him.
November 27th, 2008 at 1:12 pmBe sure to claim that cash payment or are you one of those cheap pricks who can't get it together to fund the greatest nation.
November 27th, 2008 at 1:15 pmI am thankful that DrunkInside will soon be in the unemployment line. Pathetic Traitor
November 27th, 2008 at 1:21 pmI'm thankful Thinkprogress will be here to cover life after Bush.
I'm thankful to feel stronger as an American citizen by simply casting that ballot.
I'm thankful for President-elect Obama, who made a point to be patient during what will be a problem-solving expedition once he takes office.
Finally, I'm thankful and hopeful that every American, no matter their economic status, can enjoy a wonderful thanksgiving meal with well-wishes.
November 27th, 2008 at 1:26 pmThis is the reason we need socialized medicine. This person needs help and it is long overdue.
happy thanksgiving lush
November 27th, 2008 at 1:27 pmI'm thankful the republicans have been forced into the minority.
That's it.
All the other successful issues come with strings attached, and even a Democratic control of the house and senate means half-a-loaf on the progressive table again this year.
The Nancy Boys will be showing us just how little they value us (other than as means to an end), in the coming months, since Bush has called their bluff on torture prosecution, by NOT considering pardons for torture advocates. We'll soon emerge into a new day, viewing the carnage of the Bush legacy, and the harsh light of reality will reveal a wrecked economy, two wars, crumbling infrastructure, a boiling atmosphere, and little chance of ever holding those responsible to task, other than a temporary reshuffling of bureaucratic priorities.
Like I said, I'm just thankful they're out.
Now I'm going to go get righteously drunk.
Happy thanksgiving, all.
November 27th, 2008 at 1:33 pmlush is happy wal-mart had a twofer on malt liquor this thanksgiving.
November 27th, 2008 at 1:34 pmI am thankful that my sex organs are in my pants and not on display at the museum of natural history.
November 27th, 2008 at 1:34 pmProps to Steve Martin!!!
dbadass
I am sure many here are grateful too - now to go bleach my brain...
November 27th, 2008 at 2:04 pmbit is thankful for living in a nation that has been so greatly influenced by Christianity.

As you celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday this year, remember to retain the original gratefulness to God that has always been the spirit of this, the oldest of all American holidays.
References at the link.
November 27th, 2008 at 2:11 pmFrom the Treaty of Tripoli
Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion;
Authored by American diplomat Joel Barlow in 1796, the following treaty was sent to the floor of the Senate, June 7, 1797, where it was read aloud in its entirety and unanimously approved. John Adams, having seen the treaty, signed it and proudly proclaimed it to the Nation.
Peace everyone on this holiday that does NOT glorify religion.
November 27th, 2008 at 2:20 pm*** KARL ROVE ***
I am thankful Republicans still consider Karl a genius! Please keep following this genius forever, please.
First the SCOTUS made Karl look like a genius in 2000, ignoring the fact that the other guy had more votes -- great effort Karl. Then in 2004 the Ohio Secretary of State made Karl look like a genius by declaring a terrorist emergency on election night so the vote could be manipulated, I mean Counted, in private and Bush won another close one.
So with this questionable track record, Gopers hitched their hopes to Karl's big squishy butt in 2006. Yo Boy! The Genius helped give Dems a lot of early Christmas presents. What could surpass this, well 2008 of course. Again Gopers saddled up Karl's big squish backside and rode him all the way to November.
All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you. Karl is a Genius. He truly knows how to elect Dems. Gopers, there's a lot of room on Karl's big squish ass. You boys just keep riding him, ride him hard too, hold on to his every thought, follow his wisdom, and love you all some Sarah Palin in 2012.
November 27th, 2008 at 2:22 pmbitblt, you and lushinterior fail to see the overall picture of a community of people who can give thanks for good things in our lives despite our religious leanings.
It is this failure to understand human nature and accept others in a tolerant fashion that has caused you and your kind to be cast aside in the American elections of 2008.
You must try to learn from your mistakes.

November 27th, 2008 at 2:43 pmHi bitblt.
November 27th, 2008 at 2:47 pmIf you could have kept it to the first and only sentence, I might have been able to give tacit approval. Why the need for all the other annoying crap?
Happy Thanksgiving, TP denizens.
I am thankful for a place where I can come for civilized debate with people from across our great country whom I would otherwise never get to talk with. Fortuna smile on you and yours this day.

________
No, thanks. I'll pass on that one. Instead, I'll give thanks for living in a nation that was designed to be tolerant and accepting of all faiths, even the freakish hate-cult you belong to.
November 27th, 2008 at 2:59 pmI am SO thankful that America voted by its brain and not its fears!
"Onward to Obamalot!"
November 27th, 2008 at 3:05 pmI am thankful our country will soon no longer be torturing people. I am thankful that Lush is so stupid he doesnt KNOW how pathetic he is, his oblivious ignorance is a comfort to him, I am thankful for that blessing. I am thankful we now have a president I dont have to be ashamed of when he talks to foriegn leaders, I no longer have to shiver and wince at the thought of a trip overseas by our president because soon he will no longer be a moron. I am thankful the rightwing has leaned on the sharp stick of braying idiocy for the lowest common demoninater for so long it seems to no longer be successful and I am thankful they seem to have no other cookie in their jar. I am thankful today it is a GOOD DAY.

C'mon bitty you really arent THAT dumb are you? This country was set up on enlightenment principals and the founding fathers didnt want religion within a mile of government and our stupid biased propaganda wallbuilders site is just pathetic.

November 27th, 2008 at 3:17 pmThanks, Think Progress for digging in this election--Bravo
November 27th, 2008 at 4:02 pmI have been with TP from their beginning and it truly has been a beacon to me.
November 27th, 2008 at 4:21 pmToday, not only did TP note how many things I am thankful for, but others who commented noted even more things to be thankful for, so I will just add to those lists by saying that I am so thankful for my family, my friends and for my TP family of posters here.
PEACE everyone.

November 27th, 2008 at 6:51 pmLushInterior Says:
I am thankful that whatever happens in this country for the most part does not affect me in any way.
We'd all be a great deal more thankful if shit-stains like you who are SO impervious to the actions of our government let those who are affected by government decide what IS and what IS NOT worthy of thanks.
Idiot.
November 27th, 2008 at 7:00 pmJohn Kerry Says:
Unbelievable!!
One word says it all!!
DELUSIONAL!!
I am thankful that projecting TARDS like YOU that use words TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF while PROJECTING ON OTHERS have been shown AMERICA IS LEFT and you WERE WRONG! Despite your DELUSIONAL BELIEFS to the CONTRARY!!! ROTFL! It must SUCK being a GOP-TARD in this NEW AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT! I know it SUCKS LISTENING to all of the CONSTANT WHINING from the RELIGIO-FASCISTS like JK and ButtBlit!! ROTFL!!
November 27th, 2008 at 8:24 pmI'm thankful we can begin the Nuremberg trials part 2. I think we should reinstitute hanging as a punishment just for this.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:06 pmI'm also Thankful that it's so convenient to express the new stature of the GOP. Simply add a picture, scribble or other indication of an "ear" in front of any GOP party symbol:
Ear+Elephant=EarElephant=Irrelevant!
très élémentaire!
November 27th, 2008 at 10:38 pmI'm thankful for bloggs. Bloggs are like a knife cutting thru the B.S. Bloggs let us all VENT. Bloggs let us express our 1 little opinion,but when in volume count,and to thoes with the larger power to CHANGE,hear us and act.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:21 pmI'm thankful, as always, to live in this great country with it's freedoms and opportunities. I'm thankful that we have elected two strong Christians to lead this great nation for the next four years. I am thankful that so many recognize the need to give thanks.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:42 pmThis year I am giving thanks for realistic possibilities.
November 28th, 2008 at 12:40 amPlease...its Thanksgiving and I don't want to think about Palin, Putin and head.
November 28th, 2008 at 1:53 amI'll be 10,000 times more thankful when Karl Rove & Friends have to answer for their dirty-handed politics and policies that followed. And please make them all pay for it on Live TV! Even more so when President Obama gives due diligence to our sorely-lacking domestic needs that Bush swept under the White House rug in favor of "lapel pin patriotism".
November 28th, 2008 at 2:03 amOh man, super thankful the older guy and that wadda-ya-know-semi-mentally-engaged-mate-o-rama have no need to pretend they have a clue any longer.
November 28th, 2008 at 8:59 amThat was too stressful to watch and try to imagine how bad it could get if they had the chance to think they were good at this.
Really thankful.
Very thankful.
I have not posted on here for a while - too busy fighting islamic terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan the last few years...
Here is my list of things to be thankful for:
1) Keith Olberman is too much of a left wing moon bat to be taken seriously by anyone.
2) Hannity will soon be able to speak the truth without interruptions by that lefty loon, Colmes.
3) Americans can enjoy success without feeling guilty, even if they own more homes than they can count.
I need not go on - you get the point.
The bottom line is that those of us on the right will get over losing the election, unlike you on the left who still cry a river to this day over Gore and Kerry. We will go to work, not expect a handout from the government, and carry on with our lives. Obama beat McCain fair and square. Obama will soon be my President and I will support him. Most of you did NOT have such guts when Bush won. So bet it. Although I do not agree at all with Obama, I hope he is successful.
November 28th, 2008 at 10:08 amAll BS aside, Happy Thanksgiving to all. May God bless you.

November 28th, 2008 at 12:32 pmSamJoe, that can't remember to put on a tie to go on a television show? Is that the pretend plumber's gopher you mean?

All BS aside
We've already ignored your original post, so there's no need to suggest that we do what we've already done.
November 28th, 2008 at 12:49 pmI’m thankful that we have elected two strong Christians
But wait, I thought he was a closeted Muslim?
Seriously, he hasn't gone to church since he won the Presidency?!?!?!?!?!
Maybe he just uses religion to fool the simpletons into voting for him.
Works for the rightards.
November 28th, 2008 at 12:53 pmSo Hannity wasn't the dominant to Colmes' ultra-submissive?
I never saw Hannity gripped by Colmes' cold steel grip on-set. Then again, the submissive is the one in control in the bedroom in these types of relationships.

So in other words you are thankful for your delusions.
I have not posted on here for a while - too busy fighting islamic terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan the last few years…
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Good for you. I am thankful for your service.
Here is my list of things to be thankful for:
1) Keith Olberman is too much of a left wing moon bat to be taken seriously by anyone.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Wow, delusion #1 that YOU can speak for everyone. How do you do that? Do you have amazing mind reading powers that allow you to read EVERYONES mind at once? No you dont. You have delusions of adequacy. I certainly take Keith more seriously than I am EVER going to take you that is a certainty
2) Hannity will soon be able to speak the truth without interruptions by that lefty loon, Colmes.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
HAHA. Do you take DRUGS to be so delusional or is it a gift? Colmes is a moderate at best and Hannity is so astonishingly stupid he wouldnt know the truth if it stole his car and slept with his wife. That was good for a laugh though.
3) Americans can enjoy success without feeling guilty, even if they own more homes than they can count.
I need not go on - you get the point.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The point that my goldfish knows more about quantum mechanics than you do about reality? Yeah I got that.
The bottom line is that those of us on the right will get over losing the election, unlike you on the left who still cry a river to this day over Gore and Kerry.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Oh isnt that sweet an ignorant hivemind talking point fed you directly by the Oxymoron himself and repeated as IF it made sense. I have only heard that stupidity about a thousand times before. Got any new material?
Obama beat McCain fair and square. Obama will soon be my President and I will support him. Most of you did NOT have such guts when Bush won. So bet it. Although I do not agree at all with Obama, I hope he is successful.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Pretty much how I thought about Bush when he was first elected. You dont REALLY think you have amazing mind reading powers do you? No cowards like you just want to whine in our general direction the stupidity that some hateradio screechmonkey TOLD you to repeat like the moron you are. You do know you arent very good at this dont you?

All BS aside I hope you have a great Turkeyday. May God shine blessings on you too.
November 28th, 2008 at 3:17 pmMany of us were very unhappy with the (s)election of GWB in 2000. But I distinctly recall a phone conversation commiserating with a friend, saying well, he's the president now and maybe everything will still be all right, maybe we're not being fair, maybe he's not as bad as we fear, let's see what happens.
November 28th, 2008 at 5:14 pmWell, THAT didn't last too long.
Bush has proven himself to be the worst president - yet the rightwingers are already criticizing his every move, second guessing everything he says, and all this before he takes office.
Where's the "wait and see."

Ummm...Stu? Have you been paying attention lately? The business/republican sector is entirely consumed with asking/expecting handouts from the government.
Did you see the "big three" auto execs begging for a bailout after flying in on their private jets? They look like democrats to you?
AIG burns through billions blown on communes, do they?
Buncha 'liberals' lost all the banks' money on sub prime mortgage gambling, did they?
Goldman Sachs lost it all on tofu futures, eh?
Stu..you're either a glacially slow learner, or your parents were siblings. You don't get points for resolutely remaining in a pumpkin patch, however much you proclaim Linus was a visionary....

You aren't the first lib to suggest that maybe Obama is a liar because of his religious statements. Hopefully, he is a man of more integrity than you believe him to be. ;)
November 28th, 2008 at 7:20 pmYeah, Obama is going to hit the ground running--to the right.
November 28th, 2008 at 11:24 pmbailing out the rich white folk?
November 28th, 2008 at 11:30 pmI'm thankful that Obama beat shillary.
