Ann Coulter: Republicans will lose "a lot of seats" this election
Fox News ^ | 7/27/06

Posted on 07/27/2006 1:39:40 PM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

Ann Coulter just on Cavuto being interviewed.

She wanted to "remind the viewers" that the normal election cycle is for the party in the White House to lose seats. She expects this election to be one where Republicans lose seats. She added "a lot of seats" before Neil moved on to another question.

This whole thread is crazy! Where is the polling data? I want to see race-by-race analysis that shows the specific seats the pubbies will lose. Otherwise this is all just a big mind game. A generic pubs vs dems poll means nothing.

Can somebody post a list of congressmen and senators who stand to lose their seats if current polling continues? RealClearPolitics no longer posts their district-by-district polls (that I can see).

I want to see the hard data that shows which specific seats will make up this "swing".

Otherwise, this is just more FR angst. (Which is very unbecoming)

Maybe people will start to wake up once the reality of what's happening in this country starts to smack them around a little bit. The conservative movement was quite "active" during the Clinton years, and for good reason. We just got complacent after '94.

At this point, I think it's a pretty safe bet to vote against any incumbent, regardless of party affiliation. Although, there are a hand full of very solid conservatives in the house. Sadly, mine isn't one of them.

The incumbent party generally loses seats in the mid-terms.

The number lost will be a reflection of Bush's policies on the southern border, and possibly the price of oil - about which he has little control. The Repubs in the Senate DESERVVE to get their knuckles wrapped for coming up that hideous immigration bill.

The Dems will try to spin any loses as due to a rejection of the Republican agenda and a rejection of the Iraqi war.
The Dems support the liberal southern border policies of Bush and the Senate Republicans and oppose the House Bill which most Americans support. An example of the obtuseness of the Democrat mind-set and why they are a failed "opposition" party.

Some members of the Republican establishment, i.e. McCain et al, in characteristic style, will overreact, try to make the party back off on the House Immigration Bill, and try to respond in a negative manner in Iraq, i.e. attempt a pull-out while not calling it a pull-out.

When Republicans loose elections, they run and hide. When Democrats loose elections, they complain about stolen votes and come back fighting without ever dreaming of reassessing their positions.

The unfortunate realities of political life in post-republican America (republican with small "r").

When are you going to run? Frankly, I'm sick of purists like you who scream and yell that no one is good enough but you just don't seem to want to give the rest of us the chance to vote for someone perfect, such as yourself.

We have a couple of talk show hosts around here who do the same thing. They're too good to vote Republican and they're too good to get in there and get their hands dirty to work to make the Republican party better.

I'm sure we all want the same thing but I bet you're doing nothing to improve the situation.

Have you run in a primary? Have you backed a Republican candidate in a primary that you deem worthy?

Put up or shut up!! You, and those like you are irrelevant. All you can do is help make things worse by helping RATS. You do more harm than good. Either get in there and try to make things better or SHUT UP!!!

Sorry, but between the purists on FR and these holier-than-thou talk show hosts around here, I'm fed up. You only belittle the work the rest of us are doing trying to achieve the exact same things you want.

As I am a scientist I confirm she is actually right in saying that a 'belief' in science makes one doubt God or 'Divine Providence' as historically referenced by many scientists.

Every scientist philosopher including computer scientists knows there are limitations to every scientific theory and system, for otherwise science would be equivalent to astrology. The reason the scientific method is successful is precisely because it is allowed to be wrong whereas astrology will always have an answer to everything. As a system astrology is closed, science is open.

So Coulter is merely pointing to the pattern of behavior that says science has an answer for everything. It does not and if it did it would be as useless as astrology.

I think they can buck the trend as well too, but its going to take a better effort than what is being now.

True, but now the Democrats have lost their minds and are making it very obvious that they can't be trusted with National Security...

I agree, but the GOP has to do a better job of making their case why we should vote for them.

You don't see the reality in front of your eyes.
What have the Republicans done to further Conservative causes?
How much have they shrunk the federal government and it's reach?
How many powers have been handed back to the sovriegn states and local community governments?
What impending problems have they solved?
What have they done to stop Judicial Activism?
The best thing for us is gridlock in congress these days. Everytime they pass legislation it robs our freedom, our bank accounts and our future.

The GOP would have to lose 31 seats for the Dems to get a majority.

Actually, there is currently a 29 seat difference - 231 to 202, 2 vacancies (if you count the Socialist Bernie Sanders as a Demoncrat). This means that if the Republicans lose a net 15 seats, the Demoncrats will be in control (216-217, plus what the 2 vacancies end up being - one of the vacancies is Tom DeLay's old seat and the other is Robert Menendez' old seat, so they will split at best).

Who is your congressman? If he's a pubbie, why specifically are you voting against him/her? Not something Bush did, or some generic "republicans" did, but him/her specifically?

I think there's a lot of angst about "republicans", but when it gets broken down to individual congressmen, the angst melts away.

There is NO data that supports the pubbies losing 30 seats on a seat-by-seat basis.

What have they done to stop Judicial Activism?

One more Supreme Court appointment for this President, and the egregious SCOTUS decisions will essentially stop. The originalists will be able to establish their jurisprudence.

We're hanging by a thread here. Keep electing Republicans. They've got to govern better to maintain control. For that, keep the pressure on, but don't let Democrats get elected.

I agree with you wholeheartedly!
Some of us are also afraid of our house being taken from us to that a developer can build another strip mall and increase tax revenue.
I didn't hear anything from the Republicrats after the Kelo decision! Only after months of people writing letters and making calls did they start to pay a small amount of lip service. THEY STOOD BY SILENTLY WHILE THE SCOTUS STRIPPED US OF OUR GOD GIVEN PROPERTY RIGHTS!
If that doesn't tell you the whole story on the party then nothing will!

A contitutionalist SCOTUS would be nice but what will actually happen is that the conservative judges will recuse themselves when abortion and other critical conservative issues come up. Or the chief justice will just refuse to hear the case. They will continue to go along with recent precident in these types of cases that are heard and we'll continue to be screwed.
It's already happening.

The vitally important task of keeping the Dem/Socialists from taking away even more of your rights as Gore/Kerry most certainly would have.

My congressperson is a RAT. He immediately denounced Kelo. Should I vote for nim?
