And read related article about what they are planning, if they win:

Democrats have big plans if they take over in Congress

The stakes are high. I am not exaggerating, when I say, that our very lives may depend on it -- the Dems are weak on terror, and the terrorists know it and it will embolden them. The Dems will prevent President Bush from using the proven methods to discover and foil terror attacks.

Turnout will be critical. It's up to each and every one of us to face reality, get out the vote and

Libs everywhere will be ringing the bells, saying they are the winners, and again they will go down in defeat....

The American People are better informed than they used to be; they don't have to listen to MSM and basis newspapers and magazines any more...they have the internet, talk radio, other places to get information...

Nope, the libs are going down in defeat again.....

Because MOST polling is now showing a dim retreat (as people start to pay attention), we are seeing many of these "our side is really winning" articles from the left.

This tactic has manifested itself over-and-over during the last few National Elections. Same-old-same-old from the party of the same old s***.

If I step back and accept, as some cynics opine, that there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans - what am I worried about in 2006/08? And besides the Democrats might be better for me personally with subsidized health care, social security etc. -- all the gimme benefits.

So am I just cheering for team GOP? I could be ambivalent and learn to love the Democrats, but then I think about Pelosi, Reid, Conyer et al., and they scare me.

This country was made great by capitalism and the "unblinking one" was once a member of the House socialist caucus as Conyers still is.

And what is Conyer's shtrick? Our next would-be Judiciary committee chairman's all consuming passion is pay back for Clinton's impeachment. He's already held a Bush mock impeachment hearing

Reid's claim that "we killed the Patriot Act" threatens my personal safety. If the Democrats win, they will owe the antiwar crowd their first child. Negotiation will be our policy and a democratic US is a lousy negotiator. Clinton talked with North Korea and what happened - we sent them heavy oil and food so they could secretly spend money to develop missiles.

If I were Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, China, I would consider a win by the Democrats as the emasculation of the US. Just as Mocadishu encourages Bin Laudin, a Democrat win would encourage our enemies.

A Democrat US will talk and talk while our enemies plan for the next 9/11, but this time they wont just stir up the US, the object of their next attack will be so horrific as to destroy the US's standing in the world - so they will think and plan.

So remember kiddies, dive under your desks, place your head between your legs, and kiss your ass goodbye.

And also for the next two months the liberal MSM will be doing thier cheerleading for the democrats. That might have worked in 1986, but the liberal media doesn't have it's monopoly anymore and is slowly dying.

Santorum did a great job this morning on Meet The Press, and it was 2 against 1, Liberal Reussert and Casey against Santorum.

Many pundits are going to have major egg on their faces on the day after election day. Just remember, I said it here. The pubbies will gain one to three in the senate, and between three and six in the house. Expect the MSM to do what they always do, bad mouth the POTUS and the Pubbies, just as they did in 2000, 2002 and 2004. And, they will be proven wrong again. But, we need to fight the vermin known as the Democrat "Traitor/Treason" Party tooth and nail. If the Democrat scum and vermin lose in 2006, the party will begin to break up. The Pubbies have been such whimps, if they, the Democrat party, can't win in 2006, they are in deep trouble as a party. Let's all work to turn out our troops on election day and destroy that political party that brought us Bill Clinton, the enabler of 911, and murderer of American innocents.

"Democrats enter the fall campaign with a clear edge in the high-stakes fight for control of the U.S. Congress, riding a wave of momentum that has them positioned to retake the U.S. House of Representatives and make significant gains in the Senate."

The same rhetoric the media used in the last two elections,
they will be shocked, shocked when republicans make gains.

Because they don't know any better? Remember, almost 50% of the country routinely votes Democratic. Does that mean 50% of Americans hate America?

Reason number one why this would be very bad:

A democrat-controlled Congress would hand President Bush the massive illegal alien amnesty and explosion in third world immigration he wants so very badly.

Only a GOP House can keep this treason at bay until January 2009.

The GOP needs to do a better job of articulating its position on the issues (and the Democrat's position).

The Republican's biggest plus is national security. Polls demonstrate that the public overwhelmingly supports the Patriot Act. The GOP should be portraying the Democrats as pawns of far-left groups like the ACLU, but they are not.

That may be so, but it is still vastly more powerful in reach and agenda-setting than the disparate channels of modern communication (like internet, talk radio, etc.). It can easily set the stage and the premise of a powerful narrative if it decides to coagulate around a story, just like Abu Ghraib. Once that happens (bandwagon effect), the alternative media can do very little about it, as the premise of the MSM becomes the narrative of the record.
