Beyond Foley's district, I doubt this has a profound effect on the elections. I just don't see many voters in other districts putting this ahead of issues like terrorism, the borders, spending, education, taxes, etc.
youre missingthe point.
the stupid Foley scandal takes those issues off the front page. In Sep the GOP was making headway because of those issues, now they are the back burner. This only hurts the GOP.
As a result watch for Bush's approval numbers to fall as the Foley mess overshowds terrorism.
The Sheeple are extremely fickel
Agreed. I don't see why I should be less inclined to vote for my congressman in Ohio, because of some pervert in Florida. There isn't any evidence that the Republicans knew what he was doing and looked the other way, so whatever Dickie.
Amazing that such a clear and concise point can sail so far over the heads of all the talking faces inside the Washington Beltway. Congressional elections are local. I don't choose who I vote for in Colorado based on the actions of some idiot in Florida. If Nancy Pelosi suddenly announced abortion was evil, same-sex marriage an abomination, it was time for the US to pull out of the UN, and Rush Limbaugh should be required listening in all high school civics classes...I still wouldn't vote for the democrat in my district, and I'd still crawl over broken glass to vote for the Republican who happens to share most of my values.
Even if the midterm elections were a national forum, the Democrats have given voters nothing to vote for. Nothing. Can anyone name a single issue the democrat party has announced a definitive plan on? People don't crawl over broken glass to vote against someone. And they don't decide not to vote because some politician they've never even heard of until a week ago turns out to be a freak. Washington is the political Beverly Hills of this country. It's full of big headed, self-absorbed clueless wonders who are hanging on by their fingertips to some vestige of a hope that the American public still takes them seriously. Meanwhile, in the daily election of American choice, both movie receipts and MSM finances are in a freefall. Go figure.
shhhhhhhhhhhhhh...don't let them know.
They are once again banking on false premises and destine to follow the same path to demise this November.
It's truly amazing how they keep following the same old failed game plan. No solutions, just bitches.
