Hmmm, I seem to notice a connected theme of "Democratic" and "weakness"

Hmmmm,,ya think?

"Quite frankly, I think the table is set for us in the next election," Pelosi, D-Calif., told Associated Press last week. "We have lost just about everything that we can lose."

Think so, Nancy? We'll just see about that...

All the dimocrats will accomplish is more pulling the wool over the eyes of their voters. Their only hope is to work with Republicans.

Republicans must paint them as the "Talk but do nothing party." Because, in truth, talk is all they have done. Clinton's accomplishments are credited to Newt and the Republican Revolution. Gosh, I miss his wisdom.

Republicans need to do more to keep debt at the federal, state, and consumer level down to a level matching growth, continue pro-growth policies, keep the national security situation as peaceful as possible, and keep the courts from trying to write new law. Democrats will have a hard time making inroads if that happens.

Well Nancy, I see you are still in your cushy little liberal seat, right up there with Fat Teddy.
The DEMS don't want to believe this,,,,they DO have more to lose.

Nancy ask the folks in Fl. if they said the same thing two years ago. They did and they lost more seats this year. RATS have 7 seats in play or set for retirement, you can lose more.

If anyone wants a high-resolution image of this picture to annoy your liberal friends -- freep-mail and I will send this afternoon. Email address must be able to accept a 2MB jpg file.

Oddly, exit polling indicates that the nation is more in tune with the Democrats on those issues than it is with the Republicans. Some 55 percent of voters surveyed said they favored abortion rights. And 60 percent said they favored either gay marriage or civil unions for homosexual couples.

Would that be those same exit polls that predicted the massive defeat for President Bush? Those exit polls? I thought so. How quickly they forget. Then again, it has been 5 days since Tuesday ...

"And 60 percent said they favored either gay marriage or civil unions for homosexual couples."

I guess the 11 states that banned gay marriage didn't get that memo. What a crock of BS.

"The Democrats need to nominate somebody who carries a Bible in his hand comfortably," McClure said. The last two Democratic presidents, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, did.

Thanks to the New Media, I think it will be harder for Dems who want to just "carry a Bible" for a photo-op to pull it off. And, with the left's warm embrace of abortion and homosexuality, a Dem candidate who can walk the walk with that Bible in his hand will not be on Soros's (read: "Big Lib Money"'s) list.

Things aren't that bad for RATS here in America. I mean, they can find the nearest International Airport and try their hand at

1. North Korea
2. Cuba
3. Canada
4. France
5. China
6. Iran
7. Indonesia
8. ...anywhere but here

[catpuppy]

Democrats noted that Bush still faces mammoth problems in Iraq, which could benefit their party in the long run.

Translation: Dems still hoping for massive body count and lots of flag draped casket photos.

[Laserbrain]

"Marriage is just a word..."

I rest my case.

...you could drive from Miami to Phoenix to Boise, Idaho, to Arlington, Va. and cross only one state - Illinois - that Kerry won.

These are the Red States that liberals across the country want to stay out of, and yet get their food from.

"We're the "out' party now," Ed Kilgore, policy director of the centrist Democratic Leadership Conference, said on his Web log. "Republicans now control every nook and cranny of the federal government they still pretend they are fighting."

What a load of Horse manure that is. We have to clean house and get all of the Clintonista's out of the Bureraucarcy. The CIS, State, Education system etc.

I think Clinton's Bible had an asbestos cover to stop it from burning straight through him.

Right there is our challenge for 2006 & 2008. The RATs can lose a lot more, they just don't realize it right now.

Thankfully it seems like they will concentrate on getting their current message out and slide closer to irrelevancy.

Real SS reform, converting younger workers taxes into owned savings plans will burry the RATs. This is why they continue to swear to fight to "save" SS.

And Bush could also create big trouble for himself with his promised effort to partially privatize Social Security. Republican leaders on Capitol Hill aren't overly enthused with that idea, fearing a political backlash, said David C. John, a Social Security expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation.

I wonder how many voters are like me and understand Social InSecurity is a disaster waiting to happen, and private accounts will improve the lives of the overwhelming majority of people now paying into the program.

The real pity is that polls are not presently formulated with that kind of option. If you say "saving Social InSecurity" is an important issue, then you're placed in the Kerry bloc. There's no vote for the Bush bloc in polling, and so I don't think people know how resented SI is among people like me, who will pay in way more than we'll ever receive.

I acknowledge that we have to pay off our obligation to seniors, and that's a problem because it's gigantic. But if W can come up with a plan that protects them while making our future far brighter, I think it could be a huge net gain for us. Pity the real gains aren't going to happen for decades, as SS recipients see checks swollen with interest and capital gains from their accounts. Now is the beginning of the period of uncertainty, which I freely admit is a tough sell for voters.
