I was just laughing about this on another thread. I'll add a point. This closure can't simply be attributed to a bounce from the London airline plot.

I "can't" be, but I bet it will be....

Ain't it the truth? I love it!!! It's great huh? And God bless you for making it in Massachusetts. You must have skin made of iron. :) But you will have so much fun in November the morning after seeing all the sad liberals, knowing they lost yet another one. :) Can you take some candid pics to share with us? :)

Most of the people polled will probably vote to re-elect their own congressman.

[TexasPatriot8]

Exactly. I've been saying for many months that I believed the GOP would do well and not lose either House. As time goes on, fewer and fewer people think I'm nuts. :) Nervous libs are a good indication of what's REALLY going on. The polls are always slanted a few points to the left at least, so dead even ones are really a GOP lead. I eagerly look forward to November. It will be much fun. :)

[TexasPatriot8]

Lower gas prices do help a lot too!!! Awesome!!! "And the liberal says "But it's all the GOP doing that!!! They're lowering the prices to help with the elections!!!" ;) Liberals are so cute when they lose. It's never their fault, always someone elses. :)

[Coop]

We still have a lot of work to do between now and November.

[ProudCopperhead]

Amen to that. It's an eternity away.

They really are cute, I'd like to adopt one if they weren't so high maintenance

Ah yes, Spike Lee's documentary on Katrina. You'd got to be really, really, airheaded not to see this man's bias. He is the black Michael Moore. Actually, he even predates Moore in biased documentary making.

[Alas Babylon!]

Sorry Mainiac, but I agree with him. The vast majority of people with nothing to do all day are in fact Dems. Stay-at-home moms are sadly a minority in this country, and I'll gladly agree with you that they're probably not democrats nor feminists. But you take that small minority and compare it to the kids-from-several-different-fathers welfare queens and drug dealing, no-job-don't-want-no-job types and then yes, those are democrat core voters.

[Alas Babylon!]

And don't forget the "Voter fraud!" and "Disenfranchisement of minorities!" after the elections are over.

One word: Diebold.

Cleveland Ohio.

This looks like this could be the beginning of a domino effect that will culminate in a GOP win in '08. The Democrats have no choice but to attack Bush on his core issue, security, but their base refuses to acknowledge that there is even a need for said security. Either they try to make their way towards the center, advocating a strong anti-terrorism policy coupled with otherwise liberal policies and completely lose the base, or they try to appease the base by attacking Bush and coming out looking weak on security.

The Lamont win showed which path they took, and mark my words, come November, they will regret it.

[letsgonova19087]

Must be nice...

[RinaseaofDs]

Right, 6, sorry.

Stay at home mothers never entered into the question, unless you mistake the term "soccer mom" for "stay at home mom". There is a difference.

A "soccer mom" is not so much a stay-at-home mother as she is her kid's activity director; pushing the kid to get "involved" and "exposed" to everything under the sun, according to what she reads is the newest trend in "Parent" magazine, or what the yuppie neighbors are up to, this month. These are the kids that aren't in the home 52 hours a week because they have to be rushed from one activity to another at light speed. There is a HUGE difference between a mother, and a woman who just happens to have kids that she needs to keep occupied.

You make the mistake of assuming that every mother that chooses to stay home is a mother in the classical sense of the word, and not some self-obsessed jerk who sees her kids as trophies and ornaments. THAT is your typical democratic-voting "soccer mom".

[Wombat101]

While we're at it, lt's further define the "soccer-mom";

She ensures that her little tykes can speak a foreign language (typically French), can do calculus from flash cards and debate the merits of raddichio versus Belgian Endive, yet the same little monsters don't have the sense not to throw lawn darts at each other, stick their tongues in wall outlets nor use Drano in ways it was never intended to be used in, necessitating that American business must spend billions fighting lawsuits and putting big, red labels on a bottle of Windex that say "Do not use as an enema".

In the end, mom becomes a "safety Nazi" wrapping her child in foam rubber and kevlar cushions, topped off with a helmet and mouthpiece, and hopefully the child is under the influence of Ritalin, Xanax or Wellbutrin, and Mom sees NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTUE!!!! So long as the little rugrat is occupied, gets the right grades on the watered-down-standardized tests and is out of Mom's hair, all is right.

[chuckles]

Maybe it can happen in October if Rove is in charge.

You have to know Bin Laden is frozen in the WH basement ready to be revealed in October, right?

[Alas Babylon!]

...yet the same little monsters don't have the sense not to throw lawn darts at each other, stick their tongues in wall outlets nor use Drano in ways it was never intended to be used in...

LOL! Sounds like my kids. Except I don't sue. I just tell 'em, learn from it!
