Before January after Nancy castrates them.

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.
Ann, you helped bring this about--and you did so solely to get people to read your columns. Treason is bad enough. Treason solely for personal monetary gain is worse.
Gotta love her. We all noticed that this was a fraud free election cycle! LOL Imagine that!
And a good and appropriate take it is.
She was on Drudge's radio show and predicted this two-three weeks ago.
Before January after Nancy castrates them.
The GOP has only itself to blame. While some good Pubs lost, a lot of not so good ones were weeded out.
Of course. She was industriously working for it.
Being as we lost anyway its too bad the Maine girls didnt get weeded.
OK, so you're saying that as long as Republicans you disliked were tossed, losing the war on terror is OK. Got it.
What are you talking about? Treason was a good book and under our system you can write books for monetary gain.
Ann Coulter willfully aided and abetted the Democrats in regaining Congress.
I dare call it treason.
Where the h*ll are you coming from?
Treason includes adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort. That's what the Democrats are doing, and Ann Coulter willfully assisted them in doing that.
How so? Spell it out.
She consistently worked her (extremely) little butt off to ensure that conservatives were PO'd and unwilling to vote for Republicans in the general election, and thus ensured the election of Democrats, and she did this solely to boost her sales.
Handing power to the Democrats is constructive treason--hell, even Ann has said so. They stabbed our military in the back in Vietnam, and they're going to do it in Iraq. They give victory to the enemy. That's "giving aid and comfort."
She's worked very hard to do just that.
Now how did she do that? Certainly not by writing the book Treason, which reminds me by the way, I have this book entitled Behold a Pale Horse.
I was speaking of Ann Coulter committing treason, not writing the book Treason, where she cheerfully argued exactly what I'm saying about the Democrats she willfully helped to elect.
You could just as easily make the case the moderate wing of our party committed treason by disenfranchizing the right wing. Both arguments are equally accurate.
