Give me some hope here, folks!

From this side of the Pacific, it doesn't look good...

[neodad]

At least you're on the other side of the Pacific :)

Fear not, my Aussie friend. MSNBC and Hart are leftist flakes : )

[cmsgop]

We got some time left

[jveritas]

It is simple. The democrats win all the media polls, we win the real elections polls, it has happened so many times before.

[rocksblues]

Real Americans are smarter than this.

Democrats have to rely on lies and dead people.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

We're doomed, mate. Time to drown myself into some Fosters < /S >

[ladyinred]

You know, it is beyond reason to think that what one man does is supposed to effect the entire party and the election! How ludicrous, and if this were a democrat it wouldn't. The media would downplay it, the spin would be the poor man has had to hide his sexual preferences etc. etc. and it would effect the left for the good. I Despise the media!

The whole Foley issue was a masterful plot by the DIMs. I think it's clear that they knew about this for a long time, and they waited until now to spring it. It has caught the Republicans flat footed and unable to react adequately. I think the Woodward book is over hyped and average people aren't paying the slightest attention to it. I seriously doubt most people are even aware of it.

[West Coast Conservative]

5 weeks is very long time in politics. And Karl Rove said something about an October surprise.

I'm not giving up just yet.

AD MSNBC is really lean to the Left maybe not as CNN but it looking pretty bad across the pond

[My2Cents]

a strong plurality believes the Iraq war is hurting the country's ability to win the war on terrorism

Yeah, because that's been the MSM's *drip-drip-drip* mantra for the last three and a half years. Only people who stear clear of the MSM and educate themselves are immune from this constant assault on the realities of the world.

Don't worry -- any poll with MSNBC attached is worthless!

They over sample Dims by about 10% and sometimes more and they tend to leave out middle America when they do polling. We are too conservative for their polling! :)

Had one poll where I supported the President and the pollster asked me if there was anyone else in the house to talk with because he had too many people that supported the President already based on the number of Dems that should be answering in OK. Guess the moron didn't realize every Oklahoma County went for Pres Bush.

Polls are pretty worthless now with the fact we have caller ID and I along with a lot of other Republicans refuse to answer most of the calls.

[My2Cents]

The thing exploded just as Congress was leaving town to campaign. I question the timing.

[phoenix0468]

Hey EEE save some for me. I feel like drowning too. HEHE.

[jveritas]

One more thing. Congressional elections are very local. National generic polls are utterly meaningless. The media has to poll each of the 435 districts and each of the 32 Senate seats to see where we are, and I will tell you it is looks much better for us than a national generic poll. A person in Massachusetts does not elect a Congressperson from a district in Florida or a Senator from Maryland, so his opinion is only meaningful when it comes to his district and his state.

Why do you need hope. Aren't you a fighter? When things get tough or sound tough you just automatically believe everything you hear and read. Not me, thank you, I'm a fighter and I'm out there telling everyone that will listen that if we don't start fighting back now and stop whining than you deserve what you get. This is just the democrats little game they play every election year. Ask them what they plan to do about the war in Iraq, or just anything. So far they don't have any thing to tell us that they are going to do other than raise the taxes, and get out of Iraq. Is that what you all want? Than don't give in, fight!

[mystery-ak]

Come Nov I may be joining you..

[sgtbono2002]

Cut and run is the fastest way to lose the war on terrorism.

Cut and run now and our grandchildren will be bowing to mecca 5 times a day.

Hey Dash, This is basically the drama of Democrat Propaganda. And when the Pubbies retain control of congress contrary to the predictions such as these in this article, the Dems and soicalist leftists who populate what they pass off as a professional media community in America, will accuse the Pubbies of cheating yet again!

Americans will never let these leftists POSs have power over our national defence.

Not while Islamofascists are bent on establishing a World caliphate.

Just imagine, Wesley Clark as our new Secretary of Defense presiding over our military's conversion into a liberal peace corps, that ocassionally carries guns without any ammunition.Every American worth an ounce of spit knows that, and all of the propaganda in the world won't change it.
