You think the GOP lost some seats tonight because of a few posters on FR? What planet do you live on?
The GOP lost some seats tonight because their policies on some issues depressed their traditional mid-term voting base.
The GOP didn't have to do it, but they did for some unknown reason.
I am very disappointed that we lost the House and unsure of the Senate right now. I find it amazing that Rove and Bush were telling us not to worry we are going to gain seats. Many FREEPERS were saying that too. I think that out of everything, the polls were correct alot this election. I shutter to say that but it is true.
It's not hard to figure out if you're a pragmatist.
Reagan gambled that "one last amnesty" would give time to close the dyke. It didn't happen for TWENTY YEARS. Now Bush had the ugly proposition of balancing elections, and a war, and a totally irrational base.....in light of the fact txsleuth pointed out....people like Santorum was a huge proponent of the fence. How'd that go for him? Was that Bush's fault?
Bush may have easily done the best anyone could in the worst of situations.
Friggin Clinton "wished" that something like 9/11 would happen to him. Bush, I'm sure, prayed that he didn't have all this land on his shoulders.
