Dems ahead by 11744 now in VA...control 51 senate seats,Next:Karl Rove
If his past strategy, in a recount situation on behalf of his losing candidate is any indication, here is what Sen. elect Webb (D-VA), can expect next, from Karl Rove. I'd say that this is close to what Rove will attempt, how about you?

Don't get your panties in to big of a bunch over the latest election results. I don't think it so much the Democratic campaign that won the election but more probable the Republicans lack of doing anything useful that won it for the Democrats. After the last election Mr. Bush and the Republicans wasted to much political capital on stupid things and not on the things America wants or what we sent them there to do. Hopefully the Democrats won't make the same mistake and we can move this country forward in a positive way. Another hopeful is the Democrats forget about gun control and a few of the other issues that cost them so dearly in past elections. If they don't I'm afraid the next election it will slide the other way once again. One thing both parties should be aware of is the increasing attractiveness of the Libertarian Party. People are tired of the status quo, the same-o-same-o day in and day out. People want positive change. Anyway, congrats and good luck to the Democratic Party and please stay in the middle ground and don't blow this chance on stupid, moronic bullshit.

[MOD NOTE] This is a generic, pre-emptive warning to all those who post in the Tilted Politics forum, based on the upcoming heat from post-election talk. Save the smarmy one-liners and quips, keep your trolling and baiting under control, and we'll all survive this election period. Keep up the shenanigans, and see how quickly the temp bans fly. Consider this the first warning- anything after this will come with short vacations. Remember to respect each other as people with differing viewpoints, and convey that respect when debating those viewpoints. Thanks - analog. [/MOD NOTE] Quote:

Lets see.....the Dems win the Congress for the first time in 12 years and all host is consumed about is Karl Rove? Nothing about the war, nothing about homosexual redefinition of marriage, nothing about tax rates. No, Karl Rove is in the front of his mind. Sad state of affairs we're in

This is not on-topic. This is a troll. There will be many other threads about many other things; this thread is about this thing. If you want a thread about any of the number of other things you mentioned, go make one. Until then, contribute to the conversation or keep the trolling remarks to yourself, please. This is the type of pointless disrespect that has become rampant in Tilted Politics, and it won't continue to go by unnoticed. Thank you all, - analog. [/MOD NOTE] |

As for overmoderation, I hardly think advising people against trolling, whether or not you ultimately agree with me, is overmoderation. At all. I'm just steering the discourse in the direction we all want it- respectful. Overmoderation would be giving you a warning for it, or a temp ban. I don't have an eagerness to enforce rules; I wish you all could get along so we wouldn't have to watch this forum like parents watch a toddler in a china shop- but we DO have to watch you all, and my eagerness is to see that all the members feel comfortable posting in the forums, and that people are not being flamed for voicing their opinions. Thanks, - analog. |

In the last ten days, Rove has stolen no elections.. If there have been recounts, court cases, or accusations of voting chicanery, they have been essentially under the radar.
That being the case, the irrational hatred of Rove in evidence here is, to say the least, misplaced. |

This (the mod posts in this thread which is overmoderation) is why I do not donate $$$ to this site. I don't appreciate mods chiming in on random posts with the assumption that the participants will act immaturely in some way and because of said assumption, they need to be monitored. Frankly, I find this insulting to my intelligence and I also don't appreciate being treated like a child who needs their hand held while they create threads. I feel like I can't express my true opinions here on TFP because I have to spend all my time worrying about temp bans. In all honesty, my interest in this site has dwindled over the past few months. Halx, I think that you have too many mods and I think that they're overdoing it. I understand that you want to keep the site clean, but there's a limit. Go over that limit and your users start to lose interest because posting here is too much like walking on eggshells. Something to think about. Last edited by Hardknock; 11-20-2006 at 01:37 AM.. |

The important thing in my mind now, is to avoid simply continuing the split between parties, and fix a broken system. There is opportunity here, which should be used to benefit the country as a whole, rather than consolidate a power structure. If everyone decides to start working together, rather than against each other we can make this country great again, and increase security at the same time. As for Over-Moderation...It's a fine line folks, and sometimes gets crossed accidentally. Give the guy a break and try to work within the guidelines we are given. Or....simply join a devoted Politics Board, and beat the hell outa whoever you want, I did.....heh. |
