My view of the differences between us and them

[Horse with no Name]

First of all, in the face of narrow and indecisive victories...they immediately yell MANDATE!
Then proceed full steam ahead to spend their perceived political capital.
In the face of huge and decisive victories, we lay back and try to be bipartisan and fair and never take advantage of REAL mandates and huge amounts of political capital.
In the face of losing an election...Democrats sit back and try to regroup to figure out how we can EARN back the trust of the voters.
In the face of losing an election...republicans sit back and figure out how to scare people into voting for them so they can "take back" THEIR country.

I know there are many other differences...but for some reason, these are the ones that are the most visible to me today.

1. They never apologize, never take responsibility.

Our side is too quick to offer up apologies and take blame.

3. Democrats try to govern and solve problems, Republicans just campaign and name call

Good post.

4. They don't just TALK about resorting to guns!

So many people including liberals think that conservatives are JOKING when they talk of falling back on "the second ammendment" option. May I call the attention of those who may be unaware of the history of conflicts between liberals and conservatives, here's WHY Congressman Anthony Weiner of New York recently warned that "Democrats need to stop bringing books to a knife fight."
