History was made this week! For the first time in four election cycles, Democrats are not attacking the Diebold Corp. the day after the election, accusing it of rigging its voting machines. I guess Diebold has finally been vindicated.
So the left won the House and also Nicaragua. They've had a good week. At least they don't have their finger on the atom bomb yet.
Democrats support surrender in Iraq, higher taxes and the impeachment of President Bush. They just won an election by pretending to be against all three.
Jon Tester, Bob Casey Jr., Heath Shuler, possibly Jim Webb -- I've never seen so much raw testosterone in my life. The smell of sweaty jockstraps from the "new Democrats" is overwhelming.
Having predicted this paltry Democrat win, my next prediction is how long it will take all these new "gun totin' Democrats" to be fitted for leotards.
Now that they've won their elections and don't have to deal with the hicks anymore, Tester can cut lose the infernal buzz cut, Casey can start taking "Emily's List" money, and Webb can go back to writing more incestuously homoerotic fiction ... and just in time for Christmas!
But according to the media, this week's election results are a mandate for pulling out of Iraq (except in Connecticut where pro-war Joe Lieberman walloped anti-war "Ned the Red" Lamont).
In fact, if the Democrats' pathetic gains in a sixth-year election are a statement about the war in Iraq, Americans must love the war! As Roll Call put it back when Clinton was president: "Simply put, the party controlling the White House nearly always loses House seats in midterm elections" -- especially in the sixth year.
In Franklin D. Roosevelt's sixth year in 1938, Democrats lost 71 seats in the House and six in the Senate.
In Dwight Eisenhower's sixth year in 1958, Republicans lost 47 House seats, 13 in the Senate.
In John F. Kennedy/Lyndon Johnson's sixth year, Democrats lost 47 seats in the House and three in the Senate.
In Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford's sixth year in office in 1974, Republicans lost 43 House seats and three Senate seats.
Even America's greatest president, Ronald Reagan, lost five House seats and eight Senate seats in his sixth year in office.
But in the middle of what the media tell us is a massively unpopular war, the Democrats picked up about 30 House seats and five to six Senate seats in a sixth-year election, with lots of seats still too close to call. Only for half-brights with absolutely no concept of yesterday is this a "tsunami" -- as MSNBC calls it -- rather than the death throes of a dying party.
During eight years of Clinton -- the man Democrats tell us was the greatest campaigner ever, a political genius, a heartthrob, Elvis! -- Republicans picked up a total of 49 House seats and nine Senate seats in two midterm elections. Also, when Clinton won the presidency in 1992, his party actually lost 10 seats in the House -- only the second time in the 20th century that a party won the White House but lost seats in the House.
Meanwhile, the Democrats' epic victory this week, about which songs will be sung for generations, means that in two midterm elections Democrats were only able to pick up about 30 seats in the House and four seats in the Senate -- and that's assuming they pick up every seat that is currently too close to call. (The Democrats' total gain is less than this week's gain because Bush won six House and two Senate seats in the first midterm election.)
So however you cut it, this midterm proves that the Iraq war is at least more popular than Bill Clinton was.
In a choice between Republicans' "Stay until we win" Iraq policy or the Democrats' "Stay, leave ... stay for a while then leave ... redeploy and then come back ... leave and stay ... cut and run ... win, lose or draw policy," I guess Americans prefer the Republican policy.
The Democrats say we need a "new direction" in Iraq. Yeah, it's called "reverse." Democrats keep talking about a new military strategy in Iraq. How exactly is cut-and-run a new strategy? The French have been doing it for years. The Democrats are calling their new plan for Iraq "Operation Somalia."
The Democrats certainly have their work cut out for them. They have only two years to release as many terrorists as possible and lock up as many Republicans as they can. Republicans better get that body armor for the troops the Democrats are always carping about -- and fast. The troops are going to need it for their backs.
So, are they going to count them?
"Ann Coulter willfully aided and abetted the Democrats in regaining Congress.
I dare call it treason."
You are insane. (And clearly a Bircher.)
Why do you stalk Coulter on every thread?
They are thinking about it. Talk about "disenfranchisement."
"And I would ask you for proof of this assertion."
Do a quick search of this clown's past posts re Coulter.
He is obsessed with attacking her. (All the while claiming to have bought all of her books.)
It's gone on for months.
He's probably on the Soros payroll.
How?
i hope you're kidding. where is your evidence? did she suggest voting for Democrats over Republicans. if so, even that is not treason, it's just stupid.
I agree! That is the most moronic reason to lose the house and senate, thereby: leaving conservative justice nominees in committee to languish, reversing as much of the gains made, like tax cuts, real support for the Military, 2nd ammendment support, and most important putting the war on terror in the hands of 'please like us, we'll negotiate and give you money' dems
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
This picture of Ann Coulter is sliced off !
What about below the waste, I think she is wearing some very short pants- that day being a Summer Day in New York City .
>>You'd be better off complaining about Rove's strategy of calling the Minutemen "vigilantes". That particular incident likely had much more impact than all of Ann's histrionics over the last two years.<<
I thought it was Dubya who called the Minutemen 'vigilantees' .
Are you saying that Rove told him to say that ?
I meant to say, below the waist line ~
Courtesy ping.
You are such an idiot its pathetic. Yes, that is ad hominem.

Well, I hope the picture of Ann Coulter is a comfort when you are suffering a 400-600 REM fallout dose...
"The whole spiteful, ungrateful, feckless, disloyal POS country."
You can at least be thankfull you live in a country where people are actually deeply concerned that you feel that way.No doubt there's plenty of places where that sentiment could land you in deep trouble.
I live on the other side of the Pacific and I dead set thank God for America.
May God bless you.
Your ignorant and unsubstantiated charges don't go very far.
"She worked hand-in-hand with the mainstream media, getting the ideas they wanted out there to clobber the GOP vote."
Hysterical accusation. Please provide evidence of this ridiculous claim.
