From 52 to 48...

...with love?

Yeah, the sentiment is nice, but there's something underlying that's kind of ugly.

For eight years, these same "sweet" people were absolutely horrid to President Bush and the Republicans. Every hateful slur, every twisted lie, every extreme comparison that could be thown out against the right - and our soldiers, and American as a whole - was done so, with glee.

And they defended themselves by telling us that their dissent was actually the highest form of patriotism.

And now that the Left has complete control of all three branches of govenrment, all of a sudden they seem to be realizing that they don't want to be treated the same way they treated the Republicans when the right held sway.

Like spoiled children who, after finally gettting their way after an eight-year temper tantrum, smile and want to play nice...

And it's starting to seems as if they were quite aware of all thier ugliness and lies all this time, and now that it has served them, are willing to admit the truth:

Would America have elected Barack Obama if white Americans had not gotten accustomed to seeing (in succession) two African-American Secretaries of State? I don't think so. Before Bush, African-Americans were appointed to some good posts but not to our #1 foreign policy job. Two African Americans (one with a pretty odd first name) served as America's face to the world. That eased Obama's way. It is not Tiger Woods in whose footsteps Obama is walking -- it's Rice and Powell.

Fact is, "W" never gave any evidence of holding racist attitudes.
I'm talking about old fashioned racism -- or even just the slur the occasionally slips out of the mouth of even our most liberal leaders...

Same with Arabs and Muslims....Bush, after 9/11, never resorted to anti-Arab or Muslim stereotypes....He was the first President to celebrate Muslim holy days, both at the White House and in a Mosque...

So I guess it is OK to lie, cheat, and behave miserably in order to achieve your desired end? And now that your have reached said end, you now realize that the same tactics may be used against you, correct? So perhaps, if you just make that 52-48 site, you can avert the blowback?

Ironic. Now I understand what is meant when it is said that criminals tend to keep the most locks on their doors....

Hey, conservatives in general tend to play a lot more gentlemanly than the Left - that should be obvious. But if you guys think you are gonna get anything resembling a free ride, well...that Obama dust you're snorting doesn't work on conservatives...
