How do you get more conservative than what they are? They really don't get why they lost. Their agenda is aimed at white male Christians and the country has evolved past that demographic on the one hand and that philosophy on the other. They truly don't understand that their vocal contempt towards those who are not rich white Christian males alienated the majority of the population.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-42647114052679289032012-11-08T16:20:13.686+00:002012-11-08T16:20:13.686+00:00Not all religion is ruinous (my Episcopal church f...Not all religion is ruinous (my Episcopal church fits my lefty sensibilities quite nicely) - but it's so easy to use religion to back up the natural repression & phobias that already exist. <br /><br />My Repulican FB friends were pretty crushed, but most of them (falling back on their religion) said that we just all need to pray for the country & move on. <br /><br />Now, where can I find someone to paint a snail on MY house? :)The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-67925737984206278252012-11-08T15:16:59.230+00:002012-11-08T15:16:59.230+00:00snail is awesome and whimsical, love it!

The other cool attitude of acceptance of others indoctrinated with counter- to- intellect- beliefs- I have difficulty with. Religion ruins minds, limits progression in thought and hinders women and gay folks, especially. So, no, I do not respect that. If there is a rational Republican I like hearing what they have to say, what they want for the betterment of the country, it is a troubled party at the moment- sold to extreme religious right and folks like Carl Rove and that little troll in Las Vegas...sorry , no respect for idiocy.They should know better! Abe was the last great thinker /doer Republican. sorry, didn't mean to rant...<br />Linda Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070050388987072100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-62241928640219536652012-11-08T13:41:25.794+00:002012-11-08T13:41:25.794+00:00I think that on the whole, liberals are far more p...I think that on the whole, liberals are far more polite than right-wingers. I swear I believe that. I've read so many "now, y'all, we shouldn't gloat," statements in the last day. <br />I say- fuck it! Let's gloat!<br />But that's just me.<br />As to the religious thing- I often wonder how people feel when they truly think that the Lord wanted them to run and then they lose. Like- how do they reconcile that?

I remember how bad I felt when Bush won the second time (even more than the first). I couldn't draw breath right for three days. So I have empathy for the losing side.
