I've never been more ashamed of being an American than I am today.
This wasn't a loss due to bad strategy. This was a loss due to the huge number of racist, homophobic, Christo-Fascist, intolerant, ignorant, self-rightous, red-necked assholes we have in this country. This won't change and I don't see any real hope for the significant future.

1. I am sorry you have no hope.
But...Richard Morrison got within 10 points of beating Tom DeLay...I got 38.1% against JD Hayworth (first time running and we had about 4 thousand dollars). We did not beat these jerks THIS time...but we are getting closer on the ground up, I have noticed if you do ground up, it makes things easier to do in the long run.

:hug:

3. Remember, Clinton won twice
It CAN happen. There are tons of freaks out there, but I don't believe 51% of America is. Bush duped them, and yes it was their fault for letting themselves be duped. They had plenty of resources to find the truth. But they aren't evil.

8. Each country gets the leader it deserves,...
... that is a lesson that was dearly learned here in Germany 60 years ago.

And (like in Germany), perhaps it is the best thing that Fuckya will have to face the music for the entire mess that he has made. Perhaps then even the dumb-assed rednecks will recognize Fuckya for the loser he is.
