The 60 vote majority is already threatened with a special election scheduled for January 16th (I think...it may be the 19th)

...And that means we have to push back even harder. No one in this idiot's home state probably wanted him to vote for this Health Care morass, except for Harry Reid, who more than likely dangled a piece of pork in front of his nose.

Dorgan and the rest of the Washington Politburo made their bed and now they should lie in it.

The Rats’ internal polling must be looking like this:

2010 Projected Results

GOP 99%
RATS 1%

*NOTE TO RATS: Quit now.

According to Karl Rove, Dorgan is 22 points behind in the poll to an unannounced opponent. Time to quit before he gets hammered at the polls and embarrasses himself. More to come nationally!

The communist SOB will vote FOR the obamanation. North Dakota is so fed up with our representation. Our governor, who is not at present running polls something like 56% of the likely vote while the Dork meister sits in the upper 20%. Burn all the rats out of the legislature.

Thirty years of killing babies must have finally slaked his thirst for human blood.

Of course, I don’t think it’s the real reason. He is politically dead because of the spending and Obamacare.
