DIEBOLD!!!!!! ;)
Are Republicans dissappointed in the representatives we elected to the House and Sanate? Damned right we are.
We are very dissappointed, but we arent going to cut off our noses to spite our face.
Certainly many people we elected suck, but when compared to the alternative, they shine like a briliant light.
Howard Dean also outted Valerie Plame as a CIA operative. I demand investigations.
I couldn't sleep last night and I got up and found "Meet the Depressed" on at midnight. Tim was so red-faced, so intent in his questioning I thought he might bust a gut! I think he thought he was still residing at that Demonrat rally on MSNBC last week! He was out for blood and I commend Vice President Cheney for his grace and calm during this "hit".
""I don't bet," replied Russert."
(unless it's a sure thing)
Hah! Do WHAT better? The Democrats can't even figure out what their priorites for national security are. Aids? Global Warming? More federal money for cities? Maybe Kerry will roll out his secret plan soon.
Sure you do, Tim. You bet every day that you're on the right side. And that sooner or later your tenacity will pay off.
"I lie, get drunk, falsely accuse, deceive and overeat, but betting, thats where I draw the line."
How can anyone possibly explain that statement? Show me the wreckage from all the terrorist attacks since 9/11, then we'll talk.
"Just think about what's at stake in this election in terms of national security and the global war on terror," Cheney said.
I love Dick Cheney! How I wish he would run for president in '08.
Democrats have accused Republicans of trying to scare the public into voting to keep them in charge of Congress, and say Democrats could better protect America.
"They (Republicans) think they can't win the elections unless they talk about terrorism all the time," Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean told "Fox News Sunday."
I'm speechless.
My favorite exchange was when Cheney was asked whether he still went hunting. After some back and forth, Russert asked him if he brought his shotgun to the interview...
Paraphrasing Russert: "Do I need to be concerned you'll shoot me?"
Cheney: {pause} No, you're not in season...
Cheney's "wanna bet" is the perfect argument ender for all of us when confronted with liberal nonsense.
Polls, polls, polls!! At least 3 times Russert pulled out polls. He is so lazy. Poll analysis is a cop out for a "journalist" (I use the word lightly) so he won't have to do some real work. Pathetic.
Well, the last time Cheney made a prediction was the margin G.W.B. and himself would win re-election. He was pretty close.
Anyway, yeah, I've never predicted they'd lose the houses...though had they passed amnesty we'd see....I'm one of the many Freepers that voted in the FR poll they would lose neither this fall so Cheney and I agree on this one.
That doesn't mean I'm invested in protecting RINO's though. They can lose. But I am countering by supporting conservative challengers elsewhere.
Sorry, Russert, we are not buying your MSM tripe anymore. When a Democrat (Corzine) wants to bet, Russert is all nicey nicey. Read below:

MR. RUSSERT: But bottom line, there are 48 Democratic senators now. How many will there be in January of '05?
SEN. CORZINE: Fifty-one.
MR. RUSSERT: You have 51 Republicans now. How many in January '05?
SEN. ALLEN: Well, we're up by an extra point now and I think we'll be up by at least a field goal afterwards because I think they're quality candidates with messages and values that resonate with the people in those states and I think they want to see pos...
MR. RUSSERT: So what's your number?
SEN. ALLEN: Our number, 54.
MR. RUSSERT: Fifty-four. You say 51.
SEN. CORZINE: I'd like to take a little bet on that one. You need to...
SEN. ALLEN: No, you ought to look at the reality.
MR. RUSSERT: How about a wager for the Boys and Girls Club?
SEN. ALLEN: Fine.
MR. RUSSERT: All right. We'll settle the amount after the show. We're saving the tape.
SEN. CORZINE: After the show.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Corzine, Senator Allen. We'll be right back.
That edition of Meet the Press was not an interview...it was a debate. Every single answer that the VP provided was met with "but..." from Russert. And then Russert provided the viewpoint of the NY Times, the Democrat National Committee, and the kook fringe left.
I don't know why Republicans go on these shows. And if they do appear, they ought to be pugnacious and combative with the partisan, dogged Democrat "interviewers."
Remember the last big prediction the VP made in the weeks before the 2001 inauguration: He said we were on the front edge of a recession. He was right. I have my problems with him, but the man is not stupid.
