I don't mind seeing diversity within office, personally, despite the fact that I've never been able to vote democrat given the candidates that the party always brings to bat.

It's not a sad day for America, the republicans got exactly what they deserved. If Bush and all the idiotic republican senators hadn't pushed their stupid amnesty plan for the illegal Mexicans, this wouldn't have happened. This was a republican loss more than it was a democrat win.

Open question for everyone:

What's different about this election, as opposed to the last three?

They lost the majority in the House, and I haven't checked to see if Virginia's results are official yet. If the Democratic candidate wins there, then the Democrats have control on the Senate as well. Last I heard, the democrat was ahead marginally in VA.

Is anyone else vaguely afraid that Nancy Pelosi is now head bitch in the House?

I just thought it needed to be pointed out, since you won't see any mention of it in the newsmedia.

Okay. That was utterly pointless and completely rude when we're having a serious political discussion.

I kind of assumed that race would be wrapped up by the Republicans anyway. I mean, look who the forerunners are for the Democratic nomination? (Judging by rumors here)

Hilary fucking CLINTON.
Barack Obama.

I have no problem voting for black politicians. I supported Harold Ford, Jr. for the Senate, and I'd vote for Ford if he ever ran for president. But Obama reminds me of a scary militant black Muslim. I sometimes agree with his politics, but I was hoping our first black president would have a more.... dignified name. I know that sounds stupid, but really. That's how I think of it.

It's fair play considering how you would have no doubt gloated and used Ad Hominem in your praise of the situation had your chosen party won. Yet, when I do the same thing in the spirt of satire I'm a communist . . . It's funny, considering you used to participate in the flamewars against people like JLB and Sixgun Symphony when they posted on here . . .

You can't break the forum's rules on the basis of what someone MIGHT have done. Your post had no reason to exist at all, other than to bait Billy. It had no purpose other than to bait and taunt Billy. You chose to interrupt our serious and not at all flame-ridden discussion with that crap. And frankly, I find it distasteful.

You'll no doubt proceed to justify your post by spouting off what Billy or I have done or said in the past. As if that has any bearing whatsoever on the double standard at work here.

Are you blind? This "Serious and not at all flame-ridden discussion" has been filled with Ad Hominem attacks and generalizations. My post is relevant to the discussion because it satirizes a concept common amongst a political party.
