Republicans: A Lesson on How to Lose

We need to commend the Republicans for being gracious in defeat. I know this election was not as close as the previous ones, but any loss is hard to swallow. The Republicans congratulated Obama and wished him success. Although Republicans are obviously not happy with the outcome, within 24 hours they have moved on. Republicans do not get so fanatical over the loss that they let their emotions take over their ability to reason. McCain's succession speech was eloquent and sincere. Meanwhile, the Democrats have still have not gotten over the 2000 and 2004 elections. They think they are the only ones that can have an election stolen from them even though their claims were unfounded. They and the media have made it as hard as possible on President Bush to be successful. They hampered his transition into office in 2000 which put his team far behind from the onset of his administration. It has been an up hill battle since. I know Bush blundered a lot of things, but it is no thanks to the Democrats and the media who wanted him to fail. This is sabotage and terrible for our nation that grown human beings can hold a grudge and be spiteful for that long a period. The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves and take a lesson from the Republicans on how to lose graciously. This will make the transition for Obama into the White House easier and give him a better chance to succeed. Once again, the McCain slogan is correct "Country First". The Democrats slogan should be "Me First". Their poor behavior sets a bad example for our youth and every American.

The Democrats are sore winners. Watch as they punish those within their party that did not support Obama. Joe Liebermann will be banished from his responsibilities. We already saw Obama boot newspaper reporters from his plane after their papers did not endorse him. So much for all that talk of uniting and non-partisan politics. The message is clear, the Obama administration and Democrats will only deal with people and the media that believes in what they are doing. There is no questioning the Democrats now that they are in charge. I hope I am wrong, but this is the vibe I am getting at this point in time.
