One bright spot for the Republicans is the low regard in which many Americans hold the Democrats.

Uh...YEAH!

I think the Republicans have gone off the conservative reservation this past year. That being said, they're head and shoulders above the 'rats.

Voter Anger Might Mean An Electoral Shift in '06

Review of all of his posts on FR might lead to overwhelming demand for Jim Noble to run for President in 2008.

Well, I did say might.

While the democrats proclaim fiction as truth (the rathergate scandal, and the libby indictment being a proof of The President of the United States lying) It is easier to see the truth of fiction.

George Clooney, of all people, said it very well recently. "Republicans say 'Burn the witches.' Moderates say, 'Well, maybe.' Democrats say 'There are no witches.'"

The Dems refuse to identify the threat, and that continues to be their undoing.

Nice tagline. Edith Piaf was the only good thing to come out of France since Lafayette.

Don't underestimate the anger in the GOP towards the RINO's.

The dims can't whip their voter base into much more of a frenzy than they did in 2004.

Their only option is to get as many conservatives to stay home due to the disgust with their options. The Republicans COULD stop helping the dims in this plan by standing up and saying "ENOUGH!"

If you are a ratmedia type who is lurking, please read this response and shut up.

The ratmedia cheerleaders for the failing Whigs don't like to talk about these things, but here's a few
of the insurmountable problems they face, as they "retake power".
The end of big labor ATM access.This means half the extorted union dues money and half the union thug troops.

The loss of voter fraud through HAVA.PhotoIDs = Whig defeats. Please don't think this is not important. In many place Whigs simply can't win without cheating. If this was the end of the list it would be enough to stop them cold. But of course there is more.

The loss of Louisiana after the investigation. This won't go away. It won't be good for Louisiana Whigs. The people who left might even want to go back but to where? The nature of the rat party is to be greedy. The rats in Texas and other parts of the country that received refugees will register them as new rat voters. THERE WILL BE NO DOUBLE VOTING. The first result will be the election of a white Republican mayor in NOLA in Feburary 06.

The loss of Iraq as an issue. Things getting better by the month. The Whigs are falling right into this trap already. They are showing that they will make this an issue in the next cycle. Let them. The ratmedia can't lie enough to cover up the successes in Iraq.

The loss of plantation escapees jumping the fence. Blacks are starting to listen to the GOP and liking what they hear. The dumb Whigs have now started to make racial attacks on Mike Steele. This will NOT help them keep the plantation gates closed.

The loss of control of the Court. No more force feeding liberalism to America.

The lack of any message.An empty message " I'm not Bush." doesn't work.

Spokesmen and women like Dean, Moore, Sheehan etc chase voters away.

Gay "marriage" support. They are even loosing this issue in Oregon. "Oh for eleven" last cycle with no upturn in sight.

Anti 2nd amendment positions. Gave us West Virginia, helped us keep Arkansas and Tennessee.

Shallow bench: Paul Hackett for instance. Demoralized Whigs state organizations means fewer new faces.

The huge ass kicking Bloomberg whipped on freddy ferrer, right in the heart of rat central.

Continued defections.The ratio of Whig to GOP conversions in the last 10 years must be 10 to 1. This is one of the few areas that they consistently beat us in. :-)

Adoration of Partial Birth Abortion. Most Whigs that you see and hear about are devoted to PBA, something that chases decent people away. Even that stupid old creep jimmy carter has enough brain cells left to recognize the dangers for the Whigs in this issue.

For the Sixth time in the last eight months, a national poll has reported that Hillary Clinton is too liberal to be president. The numbers in these surveys DON'T BUDGE. She has been judged too liberal by 38, 39,39,40, 41 and now 45% of respondents say they would NEVER vote for her.

There is a term in Chess that fits the evil donkey's position very well.
Zugzwang: “Compulsion to move.” A German term referring to a situation in which a player would like to do nothing (pass), since any move will damage his game. Will any ratmedia type reading this please name an issue the Whigs can talk about safely?

The Whigs KNOW they can't do nothing/say nothing as issues come up, so they are compelled to comment. But the reality is that there aren't any issues they can say anything on and not be wrong either with their insane base or with real Americans.

Heard on radio news yesterday that CBS conducted a poll of registered voters who voted for Bush in the last election and the majority polled now regret their vote and wish they had voted for John Kerry. I really believe this poll is real just like I believe their nightly newscasts...they are definitely stuck on stupid.

"Voter Anger Might Mean An Electoral Shift in '06"

The MSM has been saying this since the 1994 midterm elections, when Republicans swept both houses of Congress in reaction to Bill and Hillarycare.

Wouldn't doubt it. Perhaps it would be wise to have adults proof read some of the material before it's embarassingly foisted off on the U.S. public.

Inner city? Not really, to be honest.

And here I thought creating this anger was supposed to engender an electoral shift, thus making the media actually earn its blood money.

That's right, blood money: for all the coverage of fake CIA outings, but actually letting a real outing by Kerry on the Senate floor go; for glorifying Muslim terrorist killings of our soldiers in the field; for falsely reporting the last wishes and letters of our fallen heroes' communications to their parents; for illegally giving aid and comfort during wartime to those who would free the terrorists held at Gitmo, degrade our war effort and war president; and provide a free pass to presidents Carter, who started the Iran/radical Islam thing for $$, loyal communist that he is, and Clinton, for selling out the United States to the PRC without being executed or shunned from his party.

It must cost the Chinese, the Saudis and Soros, with the latter's redistricting efforts in CA, OH, IN, WI, FL and MINN, as elsewhere, a whale of a lot of $$ to buy this vomit.

May their testicles be doorknockers on the gates of Hell, the lot of these traitors.

The bashing on Israel by Rice/Bush doesn't help anything.

I have gotten vehement on this subject. Telling Israel what they can and cannot do to defend themselves against terrorists while at the same time giving aid to the terrorists (Palestinians) brings a real WTF to me. I suspect most Christians vote as a block and a Demo president would only make matters worse so maybe your "doesn't help anything" holds true because Christians see no way out other than to vote Rep.

So the data shows disatisfaction with both parties, and the ComPost spins it as trouble just for the GOP. Typical.

I don't underestimate the anger, I just try to control the rage, the more I control it the longer my keyboard lasts.
