Aww. Smash was sooooo sweet back then!

He ended a post with a non-ironic smiley!

Baldisking and lilibat. They were fun.

Good ole Hugefemale. I remember her.

Wow. Just...wow. I missed some fun back in the day, didn't I?

Yup. Funny thing is that my position hasn't changed, yet back then most posters agreed with me, while today most don't.

Did the validity of positions on liberal vs conservative change? Or did the perceptions of the average board member? I suspect the latter...

Yeah, that's what it is. Surely not that you got your *** handed to you daily by left leaning posters for half a decade. Definitely not that.

Nah. I'm sticking with "A whole bunch of Liberal Koolaide drinkers joined up between then and now".

To be fair tho, I imagine it will swing back the other way a bit when the Left gets back in and start slamming each others d1cks in the door for all to see.

To be "fair" that's highly unlikely. What's more likely is that there will be some sort of completely unrelated to governing issue that will allow the right to be in power and **** things up again. This has been the pattern for essentially the last 100 years.

Yup, that was a while ago...

That's Kao Account #2. the recreated / undead one.

The pretty simple observation that not a single one of those posters in that thread (other then me) are still here would tend to support my explanation though...

No. In no way shape or form does it support your explanation. At all.

It is hard to believe that I am even more awesome now than I was then.

It probably has much more to do with the Dems panicing when they lost the presidency in 2000 and still did not have control of Congress. Because this indicated to the Washington Lobbyists that the Republicans were not just a short term fluke, and they began shifting the campaign funding flow that Dems had received for the previous 40 years to lobbying Republican candidates instead of Dem candidates. The Dems desperately needed/wanted that money, so they embarked on a massive campaign to attack Republicans at every level and in every way possible.

Folks like George Soros created private organizations who's sole purpose was to smear Republicans, and shift public opinion so that Dems could retain control. Part of that has been to create as much fear and doubt about ever decision made by a Republican as they could possibly get away with (and some of it even past that point!). They spent millions of dollars digging up any dirt they could, and creating stories when they could in order to accomplish this.

When the Iraq war came along, those same organizations funneled huge amounts of money to ensure that the public believed what they wanted them to believe about how and why the war was happening. It wasn't about violations of a cease fire agreement. That's too hard to argue against! I'm sure at some point there were a whole bunch of tiger teams tasked with figuring out the exact words they wanted the public to hear and repeat. Things like: "The war is all about oil", and "Bush lied and our soldiers died!", and "There were no WMDs". Even before the invasion began...


Do you really think that private citizens came up with those on their own? You're more naive then I thought.

It is, and has always been about which party retained control of the government. To the point that the Dems have been willing to lose a war if it means that they can get that power back. Think about that for a moment. It's scary the lengths they'll go to for power...

To the point that the Dems have been willing to lose a war if it means that they can get that power back

Why is it the GOP was willing to lose it, would you say? Because I told you everything that was wrong with this war in 2002, it's not like it was a ******* surprise to anyone but idiots like you.
