Marty doing his bitter best as nancy pelosi's mole at Fox News, to suppress GOP/Conservative turnout.

JMO marty, Nov. 8th is going to be a bitter diasppointment for you.

I believe in 1994 there were over 100 House seats "in play". Toady that number has dropped to maybe just over a dozen due to gerrymandering.

[OldFriend]

The deconstruction of all the recent polls shows a far different story than the headlines. I believe I heard that 66% of those polled are quite satisfied with their own congressman.

All the discontent is generic with no specifics at all.

Of course, that did not stop the media from misrepresenting the polls. The agenda first, you know.

[wolfpat]

This whole Foley thing is such a non-issue. When the democRATS get caught doing things like this, they're celebrated. When Republicans get caught doing this, they're run out of town on a rail. That's what we've always done. What's the problem?

[MikeA]

FOAD Frost, you bitter and hypocritical DemoCrite turd. You covered up for Bill Clinton actually doing an intern, not just engaging in dirty talk. So spare us your smug and laughable pretense of moral superiority you puke. You people defended a rapist in Bill Clinton and a pedophile pervery in Gerry Studds. If Americans are stupid enough to put you hypocrites back into control of congress over what one congressmen did, then they deserve the wrecked economy and the emboldened Al Qaeda they'll get. But personally I think Americans are smarter than that and see through this double standard and rank hypocrisy you Dems. are flatulating over Foley.

If the Democrats offered a rational alternative of substantive programs or even a coherent ideology, they'd destroy the Pubs al la 1994.

They cannot possibly win big by simply trying to score on turnovers.

[Disturbin]

Again, the Dems don't care about Foley's behavior itself. They celebrate deviancy. Just look at the title and you'll see what they're after -- "Foley SCANDAL."

All they want is the words Republican and Scandal on every news program.

[Brad from Tennessee]

The October Surprise in 2004 was the "unguarded ammo dump in Iraq" story which CBS and the New York Times teamed up on in coordination with the Kerry camp and a corrupt UN official. In 2000 it was the Bush DUI arrest from the 1970's leaked by some po-dunk newspaper in Maine and repeated over and over. Yet, members of the news media, when confronted, insist their news products are unbiased.

[Beagle8U]

Before the RATS needed to spin 1994 into being relevant to Republicans today, they admitted that it was GUN-CONTROL that caused them to lose in 1994!

[commish]

Apples and oranges.

in 1994 you had close to a hundred seats in play, and the scandal involved dozens of house members, none of whom recieved any real punishment.

In 2006 you have maybe 10-30 seats in play, and a scandal that involves on pervert who has been unmasked and forced out of office.

Totally different political landscape, totally different scope of scandal, and totally different reaction of house leadership to scandal ---- and no amount of DIMBULB wishful thinking is going to change that.

[1035rep]

If we were to believe in polls, the most recent one showed I think it was 67% said the Foley thing would not effect their vote.

[ShandaLear]

These kind of statements show a fundamental misunderstanding of what happened in 1994 and what this scandal is all about. I can't wait to vote my stright "R" ticket.

[MoodyBlu]

Everyone wants to blame Clinton or Bush for 9-11 instead of placing the blame where it belongs on the Islamo Fascists. Now the dominate media and the dems want to blame Hastert and the repubs for the Foley fiasco instead of blaming Foley for his selfish, out of control behavior.

Nothing will keep me from going to the polls on 11-7, voting for Joe Pitts, Rick Santorum and Lynn Swann. Poofters like Frost only wish they had any insight into the motivation of this conservative. Broken glass, baby!

[verity]

Bozo the Clown is engaged in wishful thinking.

[sport]

I do not believe that the Foley "scandal" will effect the election one way or another.

The ones that are going to vote Republican will, those that weren't won't.

The Republicans may lose but it will be for what they did or did not do before Foley.

[Pharmer]

This is not anything near the scandals of 1994. Back then liberals were brazen about their elitism and truly felt they were above the law. The bank and post office scandals were members committing fraud out in the daylight. Kiting checks and money laundering for thousands of dollars. Dan Rottenkowski goes to the slammer. This after the Dem leadership namely Tom Foley DID NOTHING to police his people and actively stymied any investigation including an active criminal embezzlement investigation by the DC police. These scandals involved MULTIPLE powerful high profile democrats.

The Foley affair involves so far 1 man...Foley. Most people had never heard of him until this happened. Those who did knew he was a homosexual and warned him to watch himself. And when stuff happened on questionable criminal liability (Are these pages really minors? What is the state of origin? yadda yadda yadda)Foley resigns and enters rehab. Case should be closed.

This Foley affair is nothing but a fleeting fart whereas the Banking scandal was an open sewer.

[LM_Guy]

As I have stated before and some here just refuse to accept what the polls are indicating, very similar trends as to what was occuring in 1994 and the Tidal Wave of anti-incumbent (GOP) sentiment is still rising.
