A Good Democratic Year is Building - Stu Rothenberg

Abramoff's indians gave four million to the 'pubs, and three million to the 'rats (that makes the 'rats only a little pregnant, I guess)..........

Regardless of the reasons why, the incumbent party will be blamed--unfortunately

[ClaireSolt]

Five seats out of five hundred is 1% and that is portrayed as a good year? Wonder if cutting their pay increass to 1% would look good to them. I think the most important thing the Republicans must do is accomplish immigration reform. That and spending cuts wil reenergize their base and improve their numbers. However, if the budget reports show more surpluses and last month turns out not to be a fluke, Katie bar the door.

He should step away from the bong.

Bookmarked for future moonbat bashing.....

Rothenberg fails to consider a few likely issues:

1. Dims are bigger crooks than Pubbies and you know the
Pubbies are digging furiously. Look for Dim scandals to begin surfacing before March 1 and continue thru the elections.

2. Dims are inherently stupid and will make at least one huge miscue btwn now and the elections.

3. Voters don't have long memories, the Dims have probably peaked much too early on this entire culture of corruption garbage.

"Harding was a republican who sold very valuable government owned oil fields to supporters for peanuts."

Harding died before Teapot Dome erupted in full - if memory serves; he staffed his administration with cronies who took advantage of him, but I don't ever recall reading that he was thought to be involved in the graft.

Republicans
immigration reform.
spending cuts.

Democrats
Honesty
integrity

Same chance. ZERO

Neither party has any interest in any of those things.

I dunno. The media have been sure flogging "Guns and Crime" with hit pieces plugging one of the Dimocraps favorite issues--Gun Control Legislation. They are ramping up the emotionalism for another run. They may be down, but they are using the full-court press, and it is early in the game.

Expect biased reporting which makes today's look fair and balanced by mid August.

They are getting shrill and desperate, especially with the trouncing the Leftists took up north. Maybe they figure they can't run away to Canada any more.

[Smokin' Joe]

As if the GOP controls gas prices.

[Blackyce]

Heck, we might as well let them have it. What difference would it make, really? Are they going to spend more than the Pubs? Are they going to try to pick a fight with the White House from the lower house, we've seen first hand how poorly that works. As long as we have Senate for the sake of judicial nominations we'll be just fine. IMO losing the house would probably make it much easier for us to gear up for 2008. All that said, we're not losing anything this year. We're in at least as good of a position as we were this time two years ago.

[Common Tator]

Well back then they didn't have special prosecutors. So the Harding/Coolidge justice department got to investigate the Harding/Coolidge administration.

Imagine what we would know about the Clinton scandals had it been left to the Clinton/Gore Administration to investigate the Clinton Admninistration after Clinton's heart attack death? I wonder who Gore would have chosen as Clinton's Fall guy?

I will post the last of my series on: "Why the Democrats have no chance in 2006" soon. I defy stuie to answer any of my points.

[goldstategop]

The problem is the Democrats have NO IDEAS. The Republicans do and ideas win every time. DUH

As if the GOP controls gas prices.

Since Dick Cheney controls the gas prices, and Dick Cheney controls the GOP, it's the GOP's fault! /s

[Smokin' Joe]

LOL!

[motzman]

Very true, but if the federal government came off the oil tax teat for a while that would alleviate prices.

What they should do is dramatically cut the taxes on gas, and propose massive increases on beer taxes.

When the people say NO WAY, then the only alternative will be to drill for more oil, which the people will then demand.

20 bucks for a six pack, or drill for more oil...I know what most people will say to that!
