Krauthammer: Tonight Completely Explodes The Mythology Of The '08 Election

[HorustheAvenger]

Funny how Bill just lets this guy talk on and on with no interruptions....

[fuzzywzhe]

08 wasn't anything exception.

We re-elected Bush again. This time, he's black, but he still keeps the Patriot Act law, he kept on doing the bailouts, he kept up both the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, he continued warrantless wiretapping, he continued to keep Guantanamo running, and nobody was prosecuted in our financial sector despite GROSS MALFEASANCE.

Wow - what FUCKING CHANGE that was, hey chumps and idiots?

[billeybop]

The 08 election was about the man and not the party. It is evident that most think the house and senate leadership is nonexistent. People aren't stupid! Two Govenors races and one vey close is no indictment of a party or trend. Nice try.

[VictorLepanto]

It was about the man, but the man was Stupid McCain. He has spent most of his wretched political career deliberately undermining the GOP. I tried to work for this idiot this year. No one trused him. McCain's stupidity supressed the Republican turn out. If he had flipped the ticket, he would have won.

[Holyslayer2]

@billeybop Nice call man. The 2010 election sure went in your favor didn't it. This is great, one of the dumbest comments ever!!! Which is then proven wrong by the beatdown handed on the democrats a year later. It was a trend!!!!

[billeybop]

@Holyslayer2 You can't see the forest for those green thingies stickin' up! Everything on this planet runs in cycles and patterns. Some simple and some complex but in the end all will even out! :) Aw the beauty of you tube.

[Holyslayer2]

@billeybop 4. What many saw as an average candidate in John McCain. Though if were being intellectually honest he was much more qualified than Barack Obama. 5. A great fundraising effort on behalf of Obama's campaign team taking advantage of social networking. 6. A supine media who made it it's life work to promote Barack Obama and destroy the record and character of Sarah Palin.

Barack Obama will lose in 2012, I guarantee it.

[billeybop]

@Holyslayer2 I don't doubt your sincerity. I worry about the support people give to those lacking in the basic knowledge of our countrys' history and geography. All things political are decided by looks and popularity. It begins when we select a captain for our T-Ball team. The older I get the more I realize what a monster we've greated with little to no oversite of the foxes behaviors in the hen house!

[Holyslayer2]

@billeybop Not likely in 2012 my friend, not likely....

[billeybop]

@Holyslayer2 I respect your thought on the matter! :)

[Holyslayer2]

@billeybop There were six factors that led to Barack Obama's victory:

1. Economic crisis right before the election: If you remember correctly before Lehman Brothers collapsed John McCain was ahead by three percentage points.

2. An unpopular President leaving office.

3. A young, eloquent, black president who represented the first serious chance to be the first black president.

All of the Communist Nazis who support the Public Option need to be tossed out the GOP.

Let's make the GOP pure, not a Communistic sympathizer.

[scotthebruce]

i agree, lets totally shit on everyone and laugh. that's good party politics.

[DillonX]

Glenn Beck & Rush Limbaugh are right - the labor unions are destroying America & our free enterprise system - and all Labor Union members should be booted out of the GOP!

[DillonX]

We need to have the gays kicked out of the GOP -- including House Leader David Dreier &Senate Leader Lindsay Graham & Larry Craig & Charlie Crist & others.

We have no need for these perverts in the GOP.

[DillonX]

Go Hoffman! Go Palin!

All who oppose prayers at the start & end of school should be kicked out of the GOP!

[DillonX]

All women who're pro-choice need to be kicked out of the GOP.

[DillonX]

Moderates like Newt Gingrich & John McCain & Olympia Snowe & Susan Collins need to be kicked out of the GOP.

[turtleblues66]

this guy looks like he has a birth defect

[bigdogsdontbark]

Krauthammer is the man. he reminds me of one of those guys that if you got in a real heated debate with him, he would pull out a little knife and stick it in your gut and just hold it there and be like "man, i tried to tell you, i aint the one. I tried to tell you, it explodes the damn myth of the 08 elections, but you dont wanna listen." Or have a little derringer in his sleeve that pops out when he flips his hand. Maybe he will go on the Olbermann show soon & we will get to find out.

[bigdogsdontbark]

Me and my boy Hezikiah are too

[computerpurple]

The reason why that NY race went the way it did is because the Republican had a rotten start by having Dierdre Scozzafava as their nom. She is NO Republican. Everything that followed after that brought about the fall of being able to win.

[thundergunn]

The only problem with his analysis is Republicans lost a seat in Congress. NY-23, the only election that really makes a difference in Washington, and they LOST.

[NotEasilyRegimented]

Don't be frightened libs. We won't hurt you. We will just reeducate you some and save America.

[EnhancementSmoker]

well if its anything like the previous 8 years...6 under a republican congress...

then this country is fucked...

[NotEasilyRegimented]

@EnhancementSmoker

Yep. It only took dems 3 years in charge to sink the ship. We will do our best to raise her. It won't be easy, but we don't need the government to help us, we ARE the government

[NotEasilyRegimented]

@Emma2Sweets01

Pretty liberal are you?

[bluemunlight]

Are the Republicans gone crazy? America WTF?

[demonpreyer]

Late 2010 will be the end of the liberal terrorist takeover of our government. oBAMA (the guy who stole the 2008 election through aCORN) has accomplished nothing in 11 months. The first mulatto president is a complete failure. A president who bows before Saudi terrorists and at the same time ignores our troops who are being slaughtered in Afghanistan. oBAMA knows that being president is above his pay grade. The liberals in congress will be voted out in 2010! Unemployment is at 17%.

[ProgressiveAction10]

I understand why Republitards are orgasmic about ACORN, but please learn the goddamned facts about their misdeeds before spouting ignorant statements like this.

[davis80smusic]

this is one of the most obviously stupid things he's ever said - two minor elections change everything about the hard-fought ,two-election in which Obama destroyed the Clinton and Rove machines, two of the most powerful political machines of the last few generations? just goes to show, Republicans are so desperate, they'll say *anything*

[EnhancementSmoker]

great point...

[ThyLiquor]

What a douchbag-the repup gov candidates won because they REFUSED intervention by Palin ,Beck,and the other useless ultra right.We all see what happened in upstate NY when the right pitched in with their endorsements.

[jeroling]

You're ignorant... probably drowning in Thy Liquor... Hoffman was an accountant, unknown by ANYONE 6 mos ago. The republican with drew from the race and endorsed the DEMOCRAT!

With all of this, this comman man, this accountant lost by 3 points. That's like the NY Yankees playing a High School girls team and winning by 3 runs...

Wake up and smell the revolution.

[EnhancementSmoker]

in a close race, a dem won a seat in a historically conservative district...against a conservative who prided himself on being more to the right than the other republican candidate...

and you think thats a revolution...i see ur spinning as much as Rush is...

Losing a GIMME seat to a dem....yea nice victory...hahaha

[BabsRevolts]

ditto..well said!

[CookCountyDissident]

As usual, well said by CK.
