"I don't see them gaining anywhere."
Nor do I. The narcissistic MSM thinks that all this Bush Lied, Bush Spied crap is playing in Peoria, I don't think it is. Do we want Bush to spy on terrorists here in the US? Speaking from the great state of New Jersey, the home away from home for Islamofacists, I say HELL YEAH!
I'm hoping that the pubbies are seeing that playing a little hard ball works.
I think the MSM is so enthralled with themselves they have NO CLUE as to what most people think. It's been this way since at least 1994, if not much longer. In fact, these musings inspire a new tag line:
Bingo on your new tagline..LOL! Good one. You are exactly right. When the GOP plays hardball, the libnuts crawl back into their trenches with tails hanging low.
They can't win. They have no leader, no positive message, don't know where they stand on issues, they have no majority anywhere, they are now losing the SCOTUS stranglehold they held for decades, they can't win elections, they don't own the votes of the majority and they can't win with nothing. They are using their old 1960s neoMarxist playbook and you are right, Peoria isn'nt buying it. They are hopelessly lost. Besides that, they are unfit to govern.
