Like you, I'm tired of seeing old media stories about a Democrat come back and a Republican fall.

[Beth528]

They may not have a chance in 2006 and2008, but we also need to get rid of the RINOS that agree and vote with the moronic left..

[jveritas]

Excellent analysis. I agree completely.

[Calusa]

Yeah, sink the RINOs.

[mainepatsfan]

Even if the GOP numbers were in the tank come 2006 the Dems would have a very hard time taking back the house.

I actually liked you better when you broke the one about the Pope and his "no clothes", but you have'nt lost that ole touch, You Rascal you!

Cogent, blistering and brutally truthful. What more could a red-blooded American Patriot really want?

Words will never adequatet express my gratitude.

My FRiend, you forgot to factor in the stupidity of the American voter along with the American haters, parasites that live off the Government,and fools and idiots who do not any better and do not want to learn.. Also voter fraud.

With those elements at work,the Democrats have a feal chance of winning in '06 and any other election.

Only a fool would not take the Democrats seriously during an election.

I disagree with you, althoug there chances are slim they are there. I have heard to many friends and family who hav ebeen republicans for a great while fed up with the President and the congress. There is a high level of discontent. These peopel may not go out and vote dem but at least 2 have told me they will not vote Republican in the forseeable future.

Not me. I love seeing the MSM not only wrong, but obstinately wrong time and time again while the Pajamhudeen continue to be right.

Also, don't forget that democRATS aren't limited to only telling the truth during campaigns. They'll charge their opponents with child molestation if it'll get them elected.

"They may not have a chance in 2006 and 2008, but we also need to get rid of the RINOS that agree and vote with the moronic left.."

RINOs are the REAL problem (radical demonRATs will self destruct and the people know it & will vote against them) and every contributor to the RNC needs to make their voices heard about the need to 'Stamp out the RINOs - NOW!' or no more contributions.

[harpu]

"There is a high level of discontent. These people may not go out and vote dem but at least 2 have told me they will not vote Republican in the forseeable future."

TALK is inexpensive. If people even talk about voting this far from the vote - they will vote. AND, they will not vote the republican alternative even if they have to hold their nose to vote for the pubbie on the ticket. But, they WILL vote.

[Mount Athos]

The people of this country recognize that the Democrats are a socialist party.

A big number of Americans are socialists, and a bigger number want socialism. Even talk to older mainstream people, non political people... How many of them want "universal healthcare", or for government to do something to make healthcare cheaper? The percentage is huge. Of course government can't really make anything "cost less", but they don't know that...

[TXBSAFH]

No they will not, take Tom Delay for example. I live in his district. And I will not vote dem but I will be hanged it I vote for that free traitor ever again. Cafta killed it for me. ANd to add sauce to the goose, the dems are running a moderate who has a long history of winning elections in south east TX. Lampson would still be in the congress if he had not been redistricted out. I thisnk this will be a close one.

[padre35]

Don't overestimate the fundraising advantage that Mehlmann has accomplished. The media is basically liberal and gives alot of free coverage to the D candidates especially in close races. A 5 minute story on the "horrors" of whatever is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations. IMO this time the D's will present a broad front.

Another reason to take two people with you when you vote.

[BCR #226]

Not to rain on your parade but if the Dems stop backing gun control and turn pro-gun and do something the Republicans haven't done which is pass pro-gun legislation and repeals of bad laws... they will not only take Congress but the White House and keep it for a long time.

The reason I say this is that there are a growing number of Democrats that are suggesting exactly that move. Mark Warner is one of them and look at how his career is going.

Excellent post!

Allow me a couple of comments.

I agree that in the short term the break up of the unions is devastating to the Democratic party. It is my hope, however that the Republican party will not begin to favor them for votes. Unions already have the power to cripple major corporations, and I fear what the Republicans may have to give them to gain their favor.

I see the Iraq war as more of a problem for Dems than you do. Though Iraq will be mostly settled by then, Islam will still be at war with us. Clinton-supporting soccer moms morphed into "security moms" after 9-11, and I believe Iraq is what they are focused on. Democratic policies vis-a-vis Iraq have exposed them as girly-men, unworthy of being trusted to protect our nation, and I believe women in general to be particularly attuned to security matters.

You probably will address this in your next essay, but I see the loss of credibility on the part of the mainstream media as the biggest problem the Dems have. Since the last election, talk radio, Fox News, and the internet have all grown exponentially. The old media is being pounded. We see evidence that though still powerful, they no longer possess the power to shove their agenda down people's throats.

I look forward to your next installment.

Don't forget to factor in the RATS' life preserver, the Single Issue, Conservative Purists, who will sit on their hands to "send a message" if they do not hear exactly what they want to hear or get exactly what they want.

If it wasn't for this one group, the RAT Party would already be in the dust bin of history.

[Alberta's Child]

At best, to show he is for real, Stern will start to support carefully selected Republicans in certain races. He already did that by supporting Mike Bloomberg’s re-election in New York City.

I think your analysis is very astute, but I would not put any weight in a labor endorsement of Mike Bloomberg as mayor of New York. If Bloomberg were arrested for being a Republican there wouldn't be enough evidence to convict him, and there was nothing momentous about Stern's endorsement of a guy who: 1) is a NYC Marxist who claims to be a Republican, and 2) was going to win his re-election bid in a landslide.

[Alberta's Child]

If it wasn't for this one group, the RAT Party would already be in the dust bin of history.

If it wasn't for this one group, the RAT Party wouldn't be necessary because the GOP would effectively become the "liberal" party on the U.S. political scene.
