I know the Republicans lost; it is time for sole searching, etc. etc. The fact is, however, if 3,615 votes in Virginia and 1,423 votes in Montana had gone the other way, the Dems would have no Majority. My point? The Dems will not be the Permanent Majority for too long.
Here is the math: Web in Virginia won with a 7,231-vote margin Half of it is 3,615. In Montana, Jon Tester won with a 2,847 margin half of it is 1,423.
3,615 + 1,423 = 5,038.
Just so. After six years in office, Bush still hadn't even begun to solve the problem of Democrat cheating at the polls. He couldn't even push through a decent voter-ID program. Now it's too late.
Wherever the Democrats take control of state and local governments, that gives them far more opportunities to cheat. They are already probably stealing millions of votes, and now it will get worse. We saw what happened when the clintons and Janet Reno were in charge. They were absolutely shameless. Now they have another opportunity to ensure that elections will be corrupted as much as necessary to keep them in power.
I don't know how. Howard Dean and Eyeball pelosi said that it proves that republican policies are all out of the main stream and radical.
Or something like that.
I wonder how much Eyeball Pelosi charges to haunt small cottages?
Had they been busy doing their jobs and not gotten too cozy in their chair they would have a super majority right now.
5,038 = the number of people pissed off by the ban on Internet Gambling passed by the Republican controlled congress solely for the benefit of Indian Casinos, Vegas and Atlantic City.
Go going Dr. Frist
You know, I really hope Pelosi and Co. believe that.
That was just the last of the "1000 cuts" that killed the GOP this election.
Are you kidding? This is the greatest mandate the MSM has seen for the people speaking since Bill Clinton took the presidency with a 43% plurality! Even the right-wing news-caster Lou Dobbs said this was a "hallelujah" moment. Is my /sarcasm really necessary?
Also, I do believe that there were legitimately confused Jewish voters who punched Pat Buchanan's name by mistake. Doesn't matter -- by the rules of the game, Gore lost. By the same token, whether the 'Rats won the Senate by 5,000 votes or 5,000,000, Searchlight has a new title - Majority Leader.
It will be six long years before we get a chance at winning back those close losses.
5,038 =10 of my mother's yard sales.
BTTT!
BTTT! LOL!
Instead, the RINOs pissed away all the political capital trying to get amnesty for illegal aliens, Harriet Miers on the Supreme Court, and playing footsies with Moqtada al-Sadr.
The RATS have no mandate but they sure act like they do. Let's hope they go too far, which they already have.
With another 538 votes, Gore would have been president. The last few elections have been very close. We are a divided country.
Any California redistricting would probably HELP us, they are already well-districted for democrats.
Well, if President Bush and the Democrats have their way, there will be a lot of new citizens by 2008 who will be voting Democrat.
It sure didn't hurt them in 2006, did it? Not a single Democrat from any of those districts running for re-election lost.
Why???
It should have been a safe seat!
Enough of this nonsense....We lost and we lost big time...
You want to know why?.........all you need to do is listen, and stop thinking it was some sort of mistake.
Even in a NASCAR race, second place is really the first loser.
A message was sent, yet I keep hearing in the echo chamber, that we just were not conservative enough...Or that Conservative democrats were elected...
What was elected were lying democrats, because the public rightfully came to the conclusion that conservatives, or anyone with a "R" was bad news for the future of the country and they made a change.
In our party we had swindlers, bribers, and sex perverts...
The war was going badly....
Social Conservatives were getting into their bedrooms and Internet yet could not keep their own house cleaned up....
The republican party was running away from their own president which gave them a sense of insecurity!
They correctly understood that the party in control was paralyzed during a time of war and they froze in the red zone and could not put the ball in the end zone.
So now the party assessment is that we were not conservative enough?????? That conservatives did not lose, and the limp wristed moderates did?
Bull Feces!
Conservatives lamed ducked the president in year 5 of the second term. They attacked the moderates and drove them into the enemy camp to purify the party like a bunch of schoolyard bully's. They tried and succeeded to jam social conservatism down the throats of everyone within reach, including passing legislation against Internet freedoms and a host of other issues while the leaders of these movements, the religious right Pastors and Preachers made gaff after political gaff, and most recently one was caught engaging in gay sex.
They got their butts waxed as a result, and this waxing is not complete. The '08 election is just two years away and there is no way without a huge scandal, that we will pick up any seats, and the likelihood is that conservatives will not support the very likely, and actually guaranteed moderate candidate and then they will lose the presidency as well.
The problem is in the mirror......Hypocrites and scoundrels!
We lost the public trust, and we lost it for some time to come.
You might be right but looking at that list I only see one Dem that is vunerable. That is Sen Mary Landrieu. I would like to know who else is vunerable on that list. Plus we got a lot of first termers coming up
