Republicans are sore losers.

[Bucky]

Never play a board game with a Republican. I guarantee if you start winning, you'll end up picking the peices off the floor.

[Enthusiast]

1. They certainly are. nt

[DrDan]

2. that may be - but I sure would like to see a similar spark among the D's

I will never forgive Gore for rolling over so easily and not fighting to the end. Look what that brought us.

[Bucky]

3. There's a difference between vigorously opposing government actions & pissing in the punch

Gore did not "roll over easy". He exhausted all his legal remedies, but played by the rules. Lay the blame where it belongs: Republican vote suppression and the Supreme Court playing partisan politics. If we give up playing by the rules, we're guilty when the game --civil Constitutional government-- falls apart.

[DrDan]

10. well - you can be concerned about "blame" - but the R's are much more

determined to win. 2000 and 2004 are testaments to that.

[gmoney]

13. Gore and Kerry folded like cheap tents

"Oh, well if George says he won, well, he would know!"

[lunatica]

9. What do you think he should have done?

What's the next step after the Supreme Court?

[DrDan]

11. he was outmatched by the bush machine

he should have worked harder for a state-wide recount. That was his only chance and the only one that would have wide acceptance among the voters throughout the US.

[Bucky]

16. That was a tactical decision (and not a good one), but he did try till he couldn't

The fact that he pushed for only limited recounts instead of statewide recount doesn't mean he didn't vigorously contest the results until the SCOTUS shut the process down. Your dismissal of his efforts is painted with too broad a brush

[screembloodymurder]

4. Yep, and they like to rig the game.

And if they do lose, it's never their fault.

[Ikonoklast]

5. Worse than that...

they are bad winners.

[tanyev]

6. That's why the safest thing is to encourage them to play with each other.

[bluescribbler]

7. Or

Encourage them to play with themselves?:evilgrin:

[Milspec]

8. There just losers

[polichick]

14. Yep - today's Republicans are very disturbed people with little tiny minds.

[SeaLyons]

12. my boss is a stereotypical repuke who can barely

speak to me since the election.

They are definitely babyish sore losers, and selfish pigs.

[No More Bushbots]

15. Same here

The same people who were talking all kinds of smack before the election are stone quiet now. Which is fine with me.
