336. The Magnificent Sarah hears you and will save you from your addled, hateful mind, and free your bitterness and bile so they may fly away from your squalid smelly soul, and will heal the debauchery in your black heart. Just wait out on the front porch.

337. Don't worry Val, Sarah will save you too! She will personally take you to a fumigating station and then hold your infected hand while you get the STD blisters removed from your brain. You should love Sarah!

338. This would disturb children. Sara is so " into" herself that is all she can think of is herself and gee what can I say now to appeal to my cult.

339. To the writer of message 339: I don't know who is impersonating whom here, and I really don't care. It's the arguments that matter, not the B.S. about peoples' online handles. I agree with most of your arguments. We need to build a new Big Tent, because the old one has been destroyed from within.

I believe that our Party lost this election, not that the Democrats won it. We polarized the election by appealing more to people's fear and by appealing more to our traditional base, and we ignored and in many cases, even drove away moderates who used to be in our camp. The election results show that Sarah Palin was a big part of the wedge which drove the moderates away from us.

I believe that Palin and others like her will continue to split our Party. Also, the statistics also show that in most of the country, the attack ads didn't work this time and drove more moderates away from us. So therefore, I believe that we need to modify our strategy to widen our base of support and downplay the divisive issues that we were focusing on during this election, and also, we need to keep the ideologues out of the limelight. Practical, bread-and-butter issues determined the outcome of the election, not racism, fear, and religious intolerance.

The Party of Lincoln could do well if it gets back to what Lincoln is seen to have stood for: freedom for all, equal opportunity for all, Federal enforcement of these human rights and freedoms, and the welcoming of diverse voices into leadership positions. Lincoln did not stand for Federal support for people's jobs or incomes, nor did he ally himself with any particular non-inclusive religious movement. I think that a case can still be made with the voters that these are the best courses of action in the long run, as long as we no longer abdicate our Party's original and traditional role as the guarantor of human rights, and the broad-based home of varied and diverse opinions. This would draw many people back into the Big Tent without compromising our Party's economic principles.

It really doesn't matter what the other side is doing. I am embarrassed by the things that OUR side has done. We should be better, and higher, and more principled, but in this election, the worse, the lower, and the less principled had the loudest voices in the McCain campaign. I was sickened by many of the false claims and slurs made by people on our side. Like I said, it doesn't matter what the other side might have been doing - WE should be better than that.

I was especially upset by the way that Sarah Palin was encouraging her supporters when they were advocating murder of the opposing candidate. I'm glad that wiser voices in the campaign prevailed and forced her to back off from that, but it looks to me and to many others in this country (Democrats and Republicans alike) that left to her own devices, Palin would have continued with this dangerous demagoguery.

In summary, I'm another person who would like to see the G.O.P. renounce the tactics that it used, to turn its focus away from narrow, emotional religious issues, to move beyond its current "base", and to appeal once again to the wide diversity of freedom-loving Americans who made up its original base 150 years ago.

340. Between the time I started writing my message and I finished and sent it, the message 339 that I was referring to got deleted for some reason.

Just so you know that I'm not referring to my own message!

341. GOP Dude - "I was especially upset by the way that Sarah Palin was encouraging her supporters when they were advocating murder of the opposing candidate.". You can stop being upset, dipstick. This was called "unfounded" by the Secret Service, and an agent told the press he was "baffled" by the allegations. But of course actual information makes the boils in your head you call a brain start to spin until you fall into an orgasmic lump calling out for Sarah.

And you should drop the lie that you are or ever were a Republican, you skid row moron. Go check the air pressure on your trailer tires, and then finishing beating your spouse. And keep up your Sarah obsession, it makes me happy.
