Shit. This is why we almost always lose...

Look at that New Yorker Cover. Imagine National Review doing that to one of their own. Never ever ever. Period.

But nooooooooo....we have to have 'satire'; we have to have 'MoDo'; we have to windsurf in the midst of our national convention coverage; we have to put on a helmet and look like "Rocky the Flying Squirrel" in a tank; we have to announce at a frigging debate that we're going to raise taxes; we have to hire image consultants to tell our candidate who's been in the public eye his entire life, to change his dress and deportment; and we have to pick a guy for V.P. who had electroshock treatments.

So now there's this...congratulations...we'll win a lot of congressional districts and send sternly worded letters to President McCain and President-in-Waiting Romney.

****.

As you saying you perfer democrats get elected under false pretenses? ? ?

Say it isn't so!!  Y'all are the honest ones, remember?

2. Democrats have always been a chaotic bunch, eh?
   We're crazy.

Maybe that's why I'm drawn to the party.

We're good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, sadly.

It's ashame insanity doesn't sell to good in middle America

3. Well, then....you better go buy a few copies of National Review..
   because they have done things like this in the past.

Besides, there is a huge difference between National Review and the New Yorker - one is an obvious special interest magazine that pushes a certain agenda. The New Yorker is more like a magazine about good journalism, good government work and the like

That's not what your nutbuddies were saying on the other thread.  They proclaimed The New Yorker to be a dependable liberal magazine.  That is why they are in tears.

10. I can tell you for a fact....
   I have seen unflattering covers on the National Review of conservative republicans. Not only that, just last year both the Weekly Standard AND the American Conservative magazines posted harsh covers.

Years ago I used to read the National Review to try and understand where conservatives were coming from (I never could figure it out).

Oh, National Review is w-a-y over your head.

I love it when the DUmmie apple cart is overturned.

14. Bad examples. Guiliani was NOT a popular choice for many consevatives, nor was he the Republican
   
presidential nominee when that cover went out.

And American Conservative magazine is a paleo-conservative publication -- they HATE the Iraq war and the Neocons because they are old-school isolationists.

None of your examples are the least bit equivolant to the New Yorker cover -- unless the New Yorker publishers are determined to undermine Obama.

sw

He's not my perfect example of a conservative, but I would have voted for Guiliani hands DOWN over McCain. He has a lot of success as an executive...you know, what a President is.  :whatever:

....and Guiliani didn't HAVE to use 9/11. It happened in his city and was connected to him due to him being the Mayor. He didn't ask for the shit, but he damn sure HANDLED the shit. You know, something that fool Nagin, D-La couldn't do. I wouldn't say 9/11 defines Guiliani, because he had such a legacy of governing a city, but I will say it's one feather in his hat. The man knows how to run a city.....that city being the most populous in the country. HE is SOLELY responsible for the decrease in violent crimes in NYC.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
