My mom had taken a magic marker and made little purple hearts on bandaids. I passed them out to people. It was a real hoot! Obviously, that was not the only factor, and people like my mom may have been rare across the country. But Bush, a successful wartime incumbent, did have a hard time with such a vulnerable twit, which is the basic point being made, IMHO.
It is better that Jeb Bush runs for the Senate seat this year in Florida. This will almost guarantee that we will take this seat from the democrat Bill Nelson.
You people who predicted that President Bush was going to lose the elections all year long in 2004, have suddenly changed your dumb argument from president Bush certain defeat prediction to a dumber argument of how did Bush win only by few points over a weak candidate like Kerry. You did this in order to save face after your moronic analysis and predictions last year were proven wrong, and you think that many on FR did not notice this.
I agree pretty much with you. That said, I think he's right in the article.
Oh boy. Did you blow it!
"You people who predicted that President Bush was going to lose the elections all year long in 2004, have suddenly changed your dumb argument from president Bush certain defeat prediction to a dumber argument of how did Bush win only by few points over a weak candidate like Kerry."
I had predicted a Bush victory, a gain in the Senate, and a gain in the House in 2004, before Kerry was even nominated. As for goldstategop, I don't recall him predicting a Bush defeat in 2004 either, although I only rarely track a sampling of his posts.
The point is, we want more change and less corruption in DC. Is that stupid? Only to a Bushbot or a rat, it appears.
If this Abramof thing goes really badly, yes I do. Remember the House Bank scandal? This could be worse.
Whenever I hear one of the rats say "This is a Republican Scandal", all I can think is "Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha, Gotcha, Gotcha." Frankly I hope it blows the dome off the capitol, in a political sense of course.
I don't see voting in the weak-kneed, Monday morning quarterbacking, terrorist supporting, cut & run, socialist, democrat party though, scandal or not.
Correct. But don't expect the wilfully blind to see.
Boston Legal, even though it has a left-leaning politica bent, is the BEST show on TV right now, IMHO.
I wouldn't vote for Jeb any more than Hillary Guliani or McMainiac.
Is there ANY chance of Jeb running for Senate? If you look at the Ras poll, Harris is being BLOWN out by Nelson, by over 20%. Her favorables are like 35%, her unfavorables 53% (or some ridiculous numbers like those). She should drop her bid pronto.
So many things have happened, malfeasance covered up (like the berglar and Able Danger), rats allowed to slide, that make no sense that I am left with no conclusion but that the party in power must be crooked as h-e-double hockey sticks.
You just slandered me. Back in 2004, I had the prediction of Bush's and congressional wins in my profile. Show a single post of me predicting Bush's defeat in 2004, or apologize, you slanderous liar!
Please tell me what is the constructive national agenda that the democrats will present to the American voters so it allows them to take over Congress? It is the cut and run policy in Iraq? Protecting the terrorist rights against eavesdropping? Boasting that they killed the Patriot Act? More taxes? Pro-Gay agenda? Pro-Abortion?
No, the house banking scandal did not cause the '94 election results. I knew that already. This was a couple of years before '94. It did not cause a party change because pols from both parties got burned.
