Liberals have been clucking non-stop since election night at the prospects of what Democrat victory means to their radical causes. In first recruiting, then funding, faith-friendly, conservative, and in a couple of instances even born-again candidates, the Democrat party captured needed numbers to swipe leadership posts. The strategy proved extremely effective. Nancy Pelosi will bring San Fran values to the Beltway debate, and Kennedy, Kerry and Clinton will clamor to be first in line.
But how did she get there? In many instances, by taking advantage of terrible Republicans and their own criminal wrongdoing. But the main strategy was to convince a needed one-fourth of the electorate that the Democrat option on the ballot was not much different than the Republican option. Winning enough of the seats to take control of both houses, Pelosi is free to assign every committee chairmanship in the House, as is Reid in the Senate, to the most disgusting and vile liberal creatures imaginable.
The strategy was so sound it was as though they had taken the ideas right out of my book, "The MuscleHead Revolution: Overturning Liberalism with Commonsense Thinking," or at the very least from the scrap notes of Karl Rove. Continues...

Putting things wildly in perspective
Here's a short list of things which haven't magically changed, even after the Rat takeover of Congress:
-- Bush is still President of the United States, and Jon Carry isn't.
-- Bush is still Commander-in-Chief.
-- Bush still has two more years as President and Commander-in-Chief.
-- Bush still has the veto pen. That veto pen means the Nancy Pelosi/Charlie Rangel/Henry Waxman/Ted Kennedy/trial lawyer/ environutter/gun-grabbing/tax-hiking agenda has zero chance of becoming law.
-- The war against Islamofacists is still on.
-- Unless Saddam's death sentence gets overturned by the 9th Circuit, the 'GOD-IS-GREAT!' screaming secular Baathist is still going to hang.
-- The Democrat Party is still a patchwork of special interest groups. These groups don't agree on much. The irony is that, rather than civil war erupting in the GOP, it's more likely to happen within the Democrat Party, since nothing will get done, which means lots of internal strife and lots of finger-pointing. The stuff these groups will be pushing for is very unpopular, which is why, before the elections, they hid Pelosi in a cave in Tora Bora.
-- The Democrat Party is still a collection of losers who haven't got a clue yet. The Dems, after a string of losses -- in 2000, again in 2002, again in 2004 -- were bound to win one. Two-term Presidents don't win both midterm elections -- just doesn't happen. And you can bet that these Dems, feeling emboldened, will spend the next two years hard at work getting the GOP back in shape for a big comeback in '08.
The 2006 midterm election was a battle, just one battle, not the war itself. The big one will be '08. We'll win that one.
Anyway, that's...
My half cent

Have a safe weekend, y'all. God bless.
Love your Putting things wildly in perspective contribution. XD
Some fine quotable material in there.
*Pelosi in Tora Bora*
What has happened to the Republican party in Mass?
Did they have one? I thought they were in hiding like Christians in Rome and we were "the underground".
Okay, John. . .you convinced me. ..I'm coming in now from the ledge I've been standing on since Tuesday night. . .
Sorry don't quite get the question.
Maybe you meant Pelosi was in Tora Bora but where was the Repubs?
Then I would say they were hiding from the scandals, hiding from lack of border security, hiding from their over-spending, hiding from their inability to declare the successes in the WOT, hiding from the MSM....
Where? Maybe at NORAD. XD
Or did you mean Mass as in Massachusettes?
Dunno, I'm from Pennsylvania. o_0
Pretty funny, but very sad if true.
Always love 'em, thanks Johnny.
You "have sent" another good one, I don't feel shortchanged at all...LOL
You spelled Jon Carry wrong...It`s now officially "Cary". For example, "Teresa bought Jon Cary a brand new shiny bicycle helmet for being a good poodle boy."
"YIPPEE!! I`m the luckiest boy in the world!!! Yippee!"
Clear thought well-articulated as always, JH2. Thanks.
Indeed. Look at all the representative races where we didn't even field a candidate. The highest elected Republican is now what ... a dog catcher?
The Main Stream Media---won big. They flexed their mussels by unfair , very one-sided, partisan anti-Bush attacks for several months.It worked, especially while the Republicans played into their hands.The M.S.M. proved that they are much more powerful than right wing talk radio or my favorite Fox network.And it didn't help that Bush rolled over and played dead.
I think the correct question is, what happened to the Republican party en masse?
All good points, except for the above. The President seems to be practically unable to use that pen, plus, there's always the constant danger of his wanting to get along with these far-left wackos. His willingness to enforce the classic conservative agenda is questionable.
I believe that the death of Saddam Hussein will dampen the violence of insurgent/terrorists in Iraq as many come to the realization that the former Dictator is never again going to be their leader.
It would have helped the Bush ADmin if Hussein could have been hanged two years ago.
Still, I guess its hard to just demand a court find someone guilty without hearing so many witnesses.
Bush still has two more years as President and Commander-in-Chief.I hope he uses them well.
"-- Bush still has the veto pen. That veto pen means the Nancy Pelosi/Charlie Rangel/Henry Waxman/Ted Kennedy/trial lawyer/ environutter/gun-grabbing/tax-hiking agenda has zero chance of becoming law."
Bull! Bush will cave and sign everything they send to him because funding for Iraq will be tied to everything. Anyone here who thinks otherwise if a fool. Your taxes will be raised, our guns will be grabbed (and a few Wacos will occur to make the point), and the terrorist will win in the end. "Its over Jonny!". We won't see a conservative majority in this country again for 40 years if that.
