Are Republicans Sore Losers?????????

BEing a sore loser is probably a common characteristic of many people and has very little to do with political stripe.
Republicans are definitely sore losers. So are Democrats though. The Tea Party is achieving it's agenda and changing politics. The problem with that is that the real Tea Party was hijacked by the Sarah Palins of the world that needed a movement because they have no substance. If Ron and Rand Paul were still at the forefront of the movement it would be better. That being said, it is great to see this puppet President at 42% approval. Much like the last President, abysmal approval ratings are a good sign that people aren't as stupid as the elite ruling class banksters seem to think we are.
As for Republicans being sore losers, the Democrats that have lost in their districts have whined and complained just as much, when they weren't offered white house jobs to stop running their campaigns anyways. Both parties are scum, for the most part.

In spite of all the Tea Party hype I don't see any real sign of change in the US. What wins elections in the US is money and unless Tea Party candidates are financed at the same level as incumbents there is not much hope of change. Currently the average incumbent in the US outspends the average challenger by a ratio of 12 to one. Unless that changes there is not going to be much in the way of change. It is the main reason why turnover rates in the US elections are the lowest in the democratic world at just under three percent. I expect at election time it will be pretty much business as usual.
The political landscape right now favors the underdog though. The lack of money can be seen as an advantage. Most independents are voting people out, not in. You don't need to campaign with heavy finance in that climate.
Chris Christie smacks down heckler.
Republicans have a very stong supporter, they will win this time,
More Republican candidates may be soon angling to have New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in their corner. Christie's "tough guy" persona was on full display in a showdown with a heckler at a Wednesday campaign event in California for GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman

Tea party got a little boost with an anonymous donation the other day:lol:

Guess we will have to wait until November to find out, but I am not expecting a change of much more than a percent or so. It has been that way in US politics for the last 60 years and I don't see anything that is going to change the reality of big bucks winning elections.
Ever been in a company where bad people took over and fired all the good ones?
Sort of like in a company where a dumb one took over and fired all the smart ones.
In government, when you guys vote for the Harpers who keep you distracted from what they're doing with such idiotically small things like the gun registery and the census thing that can only scare dummys who don't read and have no education, he's setting it up for Canada to be taken over by voracious resource consumers wherein the people living here don't get a cut of what our ancestors moved here for.

A smart political party would set out to lose any elections for the next few rounds.
Who the hell in his right mind would rush to take control of an unprecidented impossible to clean up mess unless......

Anyone. A junkie off the streets can be pimped by big busines just as easily and cheaply too. What does a couple of points of smack go for these days? $50-$60?
I'm doing my best to be fair here....
The ONLY possibility of replacing Harper is with a Liberal/NDP coalition.......that means Iggy as PM (shudder), Jack Layton as deputy PM (double-shudder) in a government completely dependent on the Bloc for its survival. (Dig up the rifles and clean 'em)
That would be a nightmare..........
The Conservatives are going to run their next campaign on one single fulcrum..........their message will be......
"In this election, a majority government is inevitable.......the choice of the people of Canada is simple......a Liberal/NDP/ Bloc coalition majority.....or a Conservative majority."
It is a good strategy, IMHO.
It is too bad Gilles Duceppe is a separatist because he is one of the most capable, passionate, honest, well spoken of all the leaders. I used to like Levesque for the same reason. Too bad.
I agree whole heartedly with everything you said, but there is one eensy, weensy, teensy thing you didn't say. He's trying to tear the F'n country apart.
That is why I said "too bad." By the way, if you look at the BNA act it states that the provinces were given sovereignty and a right to form a central government to deal with foreign affairs and inter provincial trade. The whole separatist issue is a smoke screen because Quebec, like all the provinces, are in a sovereignty association arrangement already called Canada. The only thing I can't pin point is why this is going on. What are they trying to hide behind that smoke screen?
I agree coompletely with this: " passionate, honest, well spoken of all the leaders. I used to like Levesque for the same reason. Too bad"
Capable, however, is another matter.
A former Marxist may be capable, at being a leftist, but that is all the more reason to keep him at least a light year away from the levers of national power.
That is a right wing opinion. Leftists would, of course, disagree. Marx was an intelligent man. Too bad his ideas were bastardized by the Bolsheviks. There never has been a true communist country, just totalitarian dictatorships capitalizing on a name. It may have had something to do with Wall Street financing the Russian revolution (probably the Chinese revolution too).
