Democrats still don’t get why they lost

Among those who supported John Kerry for president, none has the intellectual courage to change or even seriously reflect on their choice in view of the overwhelming defeat that Kerry and the Democratic Party liberal agenda just experienced.

Rather, they and the Democrats will react angrily and re-double their efforts to stall, fight, obstruct, derail and stop the Republican agenda everywhere they can, despite evidence that the majority of the people in this country support and embrace it.

They will continue to support liberals like Kerry in the future, and will continue to lose circulation, influence and money. This is why the mainstream electronic and print media is quickly disappearing beneath the waves of the rising Republican tide.

I hope you do exactly that. This will assure an even bigger victory for Republicans in the next election.
