With news that Democratic candidate Mark Begich has taken the lead from incumbent GOP Senator Ted Stevens in Alaska's Senate race, Republicans are beginning to visualize a nightmare scenario in which Democrats actually reach the goal of 60 Senate seats that would allow them to stop any GOP filibuster.

Well, as I wrote on our sister site:

”Zimbabwe On The Potomac...”
’ We did it to ourselves, and The New, Improved Black Jesus is merely a symptom.
All civilizations have a shelf life- once enough citizens figure out that by electing the “right” representatives, they can use the power of the government to pick the pockets of others,
...it’s all over, except for the details.’
Well there is some upside.
Let the Democrats have their way. Let them have no excuses.
Also let the voters have a full taste of what they chose.
If the voters still want what they are about to get in 2 years then it doesn’t matter anyway. It is over for all of us. Tyranny of the masses will be in full swing at the expense of the individual and it will have to take its natural course to the bloody end.
When does voting close?
True, you’ve got Dodd saying about the auto bailout...it’s the Republicans fault. To which I say, good for the Republicans, but his tactic is to really give cover to some Democrats who don’t want to vote for it (but don’t want to upset the Dem applecart, i.e. union favors.) So he can claim it’s the Republicans, but with a filibuster proof majority, nobody to blame but the Dems, period.
Could ANYONE explain why Election Day takes 18 HOURS to COUNT the Votes, yet on a Recount it takes DAYS and DAYS??? That makes NO SENSE!!!!!
The Dems need a "trial balance" so they know how many votes they need to manufacture.
With recounts everything gets scrutinized by eyeball. From signatures to hanging chads... Anything to disqualify your opponents votes and anything to count votes for yourself... The rule ought to be that if the machine won't count it, it doesn't count. If the voter (I was going to say citizen... But we know that isn't true...) isn't bright enough to properly mark his/her vote too bad.
“The lies will then become exposed, no matter what the presstitutes say. Two years from now they’ll be swept out of office. 2010 will make 1994 look like a whimper. “
I really, really, really hope that about once every 2 weeks, a bright, new shining conservative star like Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, Michael Steele, ... pops up after some outrageous Democrat stunt and says
“Is the change they promised you? Is this the change you wanted?”
That explains it, but there should NOT be TWO ways of counting votes! They should CHECK the FIRST VOTES that CAREFULLY!
They do that only if it is disputed.
“2010 will make 1994 look like a whimper.”
I pray that you are correct. :)
Short, sweet, and to the dead center of the target.
Pretty much human nature, irrespective of political conviction. For example Clarence Thomas is sitting where he is today because Thurgood Marshall refused to step when Democrats controlled the selection process despite repeated pleas from friends and allies pointing out that if he did so the "Black Seat" on the Supreme Court would remain in liberal hands.
In the case of senators and congressmen, both the individual and their party are often unwilling to see them leave office because of loss of seniority and the attendant loss of legislative power. There have been examples in both parties of aged individuals widely believed even by members of their own party to be mentally incompetent remaining in office - or even successfully running for reelection - for such reasons.
I wouldn't put it past "win-at-all-costs" (or, to quote one of Hussein's idols, Malcolm X, "By ANY means necessary") scumbag demonRATS, and roll-over-and-play-dead wimp-ass repubs for this to be the reality.
Do yall think Obama will offer McCain a choice cabinet job in order to reduce our republican numbers in the senate?
That is what it is beginning to smell like to me.
He may be P’Oed that he had to pick Palin. He has not defended her all that well.
Plus, it would secure our minority status.
BTW, who is a conservative and viable in Arizona? McCain’s term is up in 2010.

“Are we being “ACORNED” in all of these counts, recounts, and run-offs?”
