LIVE THREAD: ELECTIONS 2006

[Dog]

Please Mods can we have one central Live thread ...its tough jumping from thread to thread to get results.

[Hawk1976]

I'm confident. I think we've done it.

With this being a president's year six, this election was a bull ride. We don't have to tame the beast, just hang on for eight seconds.

I don't think we're going to earn many style points, but I do think we are going to hang on.

its not the immigration insomuch as its the govt employees holding on to all their benefits and pensions....

some freeper actually was BRAGGING that he was pulling down $100,000 a yr from the govt and was still going in to get his SS.....he was proud to be taking MY and YOUR tax money to support his lifestyle....

so this is what we are up against......those that get the govt money against those that have to PAY the govt....NO ONE is going to vote for someone who might reign in all the goodies....

the more I watch Godfather, the more I think Michael had the right idea.....you look out for your own family no matter who gets in your way....being honest and hardworking in America is fast becoming a disadvantage.....and with the Dems in , it'll become an albatross .....

[JeffAtlanta]

Actually, FNC addressed the immigration issue in their exit polling and said it didn't even show up as a concern.

That is because the voters that care about the issue stayed home because they were disgusted with both parties. Unfortunately, those that care about immigration were voters that republicans needed.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

I am out of here. This news just makes me sick. Thanks a lot Pennsylvania for sticking it to our military.

[RedCell]

I like to eat tex-mex up in Cambridge.



The Border Cafe is great.

[McGavin999]

PA used to have one of the finest senators in the country. Now all they have is a stuffed shirt and a mortician.

[gotribe]

Yeah well, Steyn doesn't have to live in the People's Republic of Ohio.

[jimbo123]

Are we watching the same election?

We keep the Senate. That's good news.

[raccoonradio]

[Purrcival]

Curt Weldon is gone? There goes any Able Danger investigation...

[Bombard]

The Dem might be to bad. He is a retired USN admiral.

[NinoFan]

" It says conservatives aren't the problem. It says conservatives were right they should have acted more conservatively, since conservative campaigns won for some of these Dems. It says to me the moderates they fell over backward to reach don't have a scrap of loyalty."

Once again, a beautiful post!

[ilgipper]

These House losses are a disaster. Why do 'scandals' only happen to Republicans, while that Jefferson guy sits fat and happy in Louisiana.

[ccmay]

A president that won't shut down these disgraceful media outlets for the lies that they spew daily.

I would rather have Democrats in charge for a thousand years, than give the President power to shut down a printing press that offends him.
