Yeah, Noemie. It was.

The author lost me by equating Joe McCarthy, a U.S. Senator - with Michael Moore, a schlockumentarian filmmaker

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

Yup. Not that bad. Unless, of course, you're serving in the military, or you're an Iraqi working to be free. Then, life sucks.

[Terpfen]

McCain and Guiliani, two of the biggest hawks in the country

WHAT?

The Weekly Standard has lost it.

[Terpfen]

Few conservatives are morose at the loss of the House

I say again... WHAT?

Yeah, conservatives are happy that John Conyers can issue subpoenas and that Charlie Rangel chairs the Ways and Means Committee. Right.

The Weekly Standard has gone squishy.

Another "Win by losing" idiot heard from. They did everything they could to make this happen. Very well they can go away and celebrate their triumph with their buddies the Dems. You do NOT play political power games with National Security. The War on Terror was in the balances and these morons played political games with it.

They can hit the door. They can go stick their knives in the Democrats backs for a change.

Nice try Pokey.

If one thing was "good" about getting stomped, it's this:

We got rid of some poor leadership in the House (Hastert, not a bad guy, maybe a little to unwilling to seize the reins of Authority)

And the Senate. Bill Frist is decent man, he is a knowledgeable man, he is a erudite man.

He also wasn't a great leader. Perhaps he sought consensus too often and didn't put the Senate's feet to the fire enough.

Now the rats won't have the dubious luxury of voting for show to display to their lib/socialist constituents.. they actually might have to think of the real consequences since they have the majority.. not much consolation, and I fear our survival, but they are going to have a lot harder time shifting the blame.

[tdewey10]

I don't folks. I agree with some of the points in this article:

1. Certainly better now than 2008
2. Lamont did lose which blows a hole in the its-all-about-Iraq theory.
3. In every life a little rain must fall.
4. Maybe somethiing else -- but I can't remember what.

[Iconoclast2]

Anybody who equates Joe McCarthy with Michael Moore is too ignorant to be worth listening to. . .

optimistic bump

[southernnorthcarolina]

Yeah, it wasn't that bad.

Well, other the fact that our young men and women fighting for us in Iraq (including my nephew) and elsewhere got their teeth kicked down their throats by the electorate, who evidently have as much respect for the troops as Senator Kerry.

Of course, our allies will now have good cause to doubt our resolve. Not to mention our enemies. Pfffft. Who cares?

And so it's now open season on the unborn. Big deal.

Naturally, we can forget border security. What a silly, outdated concept in this "one world" era. A wall would, you know, offend the illegal immigrants.

And of course, massive wealth transfers from society's achievers to society's leeches isn't that big a deal, is it? This won't affect the entrepreneurial spirit, right?

A new Supreme Court vacancy soon? Cool! Teddy, Hillary!, Boxer, et al have effective veto power with respect to the replacement. Anyone have a problem with that?

Welcome to New France.

NOT THAT BAD???

HAVE ANOTHER GLASS OF KOOL AID AND CALL THE MORTICIAN IN THE MORNING!!!

Didn't bother to read this.

All I needed to know about the elections and who is now in(scarry and disastrous) power, I learned back in the early 70's after serving in Nam for 18 months and seeing how they (the same LEFTIST-SOCIALIST-BLAME-HATE-AMERICA-Party and Mindset) stabbed the S. Vietnamese (as well as 2 1/3 million Nam Vets) in the back.

THEY ARE ALL:

DEMOC  S

[plain talk]

What a dumn-ass article. Trying to pretty up a pig. It was a wuppin' and our boys got spanked. Now its time to regroup and fight back.

[longfellow]

the sears tower is an eyesore anyway.

As for me, I am sick about what happened in this election. The Dems never did say what they were FOR because if they had, the swing voters would not have voted for them.

Today we read about what they are FOR. And this is only the beginning. It's going to get a whole lot worse.

Here is the positive I see .. if they do what they say they are going to do .. they are going to loe in 2008. Problem is who is going to run as a Republican? I would have to hold my nose to vote for McCain. I would though. I would do that before I allowed my lack of voting get us Hillary.

[kabar]

A stupid article. I wonder if the Dems wrote such articles when they controlled the House for 40 straight years and 58 years out of 62 during the period 1933-95. Or the Senate for 54 years out of 62.

Harry Reid talked today about checks and balances. I wonder if believes the Reps should win the Presidency in 2008, since the Dems now control Congress. This is all crap and rationalization. If the Reps think that this can be easily reversed, they are in for a rude awakening.
