But that's why we love Darla! She's such a great antagonist. Gives the Boards a good dose of drama.
My beef isn't so much with Republicans per se as it is with the type of vile neo-con that has emerged with such vociferous, hateful bile in the post-Reagan years.
Though I do genuinely believe there are more kind-hearted people in the Democratic Party than the Republican one, just because someone has a "D" after their name doesn't mean that person is a big progressive that I support or agree with. Likewise just because someone has an "R" after their name doesn't automatically mean that person is a fascist pig. A Republican from New Jersey or Maine, for example, might actually be better on issues close to my heart, like gay rights or environmental protection, than a Democrat from someplace like Montana or Mississippi. In fact there are even some Republicans that I kind of like, such as Olympia Snowe or Susan Collins or Arnold the Terminator.
That said, social conservatives are the absolute scum of the earth as far as I'm concerned. They can take their hideous, bigoted pitch fork rebellions and crawl back under the rock they came from.
Fiscal conservatives I can try to work with, but I just don't buy their vision of the market as some almighty salvation and their expectation of getting a dollar for a dime. If conservatives hate government so much, then they should do everyone a favor and just stay the hell out of it. Leave it to people who at least try to give government a function in ensuring a common good instead of using it as a vehicle of contempt for every person who isn't a stock market wiz by bleeding the system dry and leaving everybody to scrabble for themselves.
And frankly I don't understand how anyone – liberal, conservative or anyone in between -- can view the Bush administration as successful. If money is what you really care about, how can you take heart from the fact that the Bushies ballooned the national deficit and, after eight years, have nothing to show for it? Admit it Darla, this administration has been a train wreck by any standard and everyone knows it. The evidence is just too overwhelming.

Ohio was amazing. We were in Cleveland in a low income, African American
Neighborhood. We went door to door, making sure people knew where to vote.
Sarah and I knocked on the door of a 71 year old black queen who said. "you don't need to bang on my door, I have a doorbell." he told us to be careful out there and
Said he has voted in every election.
I cried several times just walking around but it was nothing compared to how much I cried when we won. And I mean WE won. The people of this country finally had enough. Conservatives will try to say that the republicans were not true to their ideals. That's not it. The people saw their ideals and said NO MORE. It's over.
Now Darla, I actually admire your courage in some ways for defending some pretty unpopular things here over the years. We were under the gun so I'm sure your opinions will be more amusing and less infuriating now. I've tried to engage you
In dialouge here and there but I find you almost impossible to communicate with since you usually respond to any point made with a sbyde remark or some idiotic reference to Stalin. In any case, we can debate now without worry that anything you advocate will come to pass.
After all is said and done, I come away from all this with a renewed patriotism and a love for the ideals this country was founded on. Even when all seems lost, the people can rise up and wipe the slate clean. I still don't totally believe it, but it's real. The bush administration was installed by 5 supreme court justices and now the Obama administration will replace it on the orders of over 60 million people.

My Darlings,
Congratulations on your win in the latest Presidential Election. I would have responded sooner but, of course, as you may well have imagined, I have just been crazy busy nuts competing with all the other cells in the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy in buying up weapons, ammo, dry goods, purification systems and vodka, (medicinal purposes only), to ensure the continuation of the species after the end times. God Bless and be careful what you wish for. I pretty much figure that when you realize 2, 3, 4 years from now that it didn't used to be oh, so bad, whatever situation you find yourself in at that time will be the fault of THE VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY. Lex, I fully expect that 1, 2, 3 years from now, it will all be the FAULT OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION.
Girls, the effin ball's in your court. Be careful what you wish for.

Welcome back, Darla! I know, I know...the possibility of engaging in diplomacy is positively frightening, but you always have room here. Looking forward to your many missives in the upcoming 1, 2, 3 years. At least you're prepared, dear.
Oh Darla...
Our favorite Hockey Mom!
I spit coffee over that one.
You do have hockey pucks of steel, I'll give you that.

Darla my dear you are on the right track now. Humility in the face of such change can be really uplifting I would imagine. Perhaps next time you can fill in for the Sarah Palin role. You would make a much better VP than her my dear.
hear hear!! Darla, your presence alone probably doubles traffic on this site. It would be so boring without you 
Darlings,
Well, I just got back from Arizona with a full load of so-called "Assault Rifles". Isn't MSNBC so cute?
Trust me, I'm watching South Park and I finally realize that Barack has only one goal in mind. And it's precious and it's good. Once the Messiah has taken us all under his wing, all the world will be just like High School Musical.
OK, I have to go back to building the lighting system for the stage in the bunker. It's so hard to find Kool-Aid these days. The bodegas say someone has been buying it up like crazy this last week. Well, the markets are crazy lately, aren't they?
All my wet monkey love,

Dearest Lex,
For Conservatism, the next time time someone utters the words "Compassionate", next to Conservatism, kick 'em in the nuts, ok? I suppose that's sexist. What do we do if some female proclaims compassionate conservativism? Where do we kick her?

Hey Daddy,
Your favorite hockey mom bought a new stick today! I just want everyone to know, what with Christmas coming up and all, it's right handed with a #5 lie and a standard curve. I keep breaking them, so make a note if you like!
Important Update! Graphite, girls, graphite!
xoxoxo

I hope your new stick doesn't have Lily Of The Valley's name on it.
Well Daddy, I just have to tell you. Last night with the score tied 1-1 and in sudden death overtime with literally seconds remaining, that new stick fired a picture perfect slap shot into the upper left corner of the net to score the game winning goal. That graphite is just amazing.
Then I went home and got all gorgeous for Click and Drag. What a perfect evening!
As for Lilly, I've been meaning to tell her that I cried too when Obamessiah was elected.

Description of Personal Attack
A personal attack is committed when a person substitutes abusive remarks for evidence when attacking another person's claim or claims. This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because the attack is directed at the person making the claim and not the claim itself. The truth value of a claim is independent of the person making the claim. After all, no matter how repugnant an individual might be, he or she can still make true claims.

"If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs." --Theodore Roosevelt
Well Darla, you've got at least four years if not eight to fill up cyber space with whiney complaints about the new administration.
Why not just take a deep breath and get with the program hon.

‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:
“May the LORD bless you and keep you;
May the LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
May the LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’

Bobby,
Specify whiny complaint in question and I will justify. Also, please learn to spell whiny.

Seven,
You've just described Islamo-Fascists. I think you need a reboot!
No.
I described the Bush regime.
Islamo whatevers are an infantile ghost story Darla. Time for you to turn off the teevee.

My, my ... the grapes you've been serving of late are awfully sour Darla. That's what happens when you hone your hostess skills at the Katherine Harris School of Election Stealing. Landslides spoil the recipe!
But it becomes you nonetheless. Just think ... what would Mamie Eisenhower do?
