Frosty was trounced!

For the past month, most of the national press has been uncritically swallowing a steady diet of Republican propaganda: The race for the House is over; the Republicans have already won.
As someone who has been involved in congressional politics for more than 30 years and served as Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman for the 1996 and 1998 cycles, I questioned this. Instead, I took a state-by-state look at the electoral map, particularly after POLITICO published a bipartisan Battleground Poll on Sept. 16 that showed the generic ballot between Republicans and Democrats to be a 43 percent to 43 percent dead heat nationally.

He certainly knows about getting blown out.
Agreed!
WE have two hills to climb in the next several months. We have to do very well in the elections. Not a given until after it happens. Expect lawsuits galore for all close races. And fraud up the wazoo. Second, as you said, we have to stop the lame ducks from finishing us off before January.
And just WHY can't he tell us half of what the Admin has planned? Sounds like a BS "rouse the troops" speech to me.
“And just WHY can’t he tell us half of what the Admin has planned? Sounds like a BS “rouse the troops” speech to me.”
Do not shoot the messenger.
You can take it however you like.
The real question is: If the Dems do somehow rig the elections and retain control, what do WE THE PEOPLE do?
succeed? revolt? go gault? become sheeple again?
“If you think that the Chinese won’t hold this over us with all our debt you have another thought coming. Our children will have nothing.”
This is the money quote. Americans...and even Europeans, have NO comprehension of dealing en masse with a population unrestrained by Christian Western temperance.
All of the 20th century European , and even Soviet atrocities pale by comparison to what was experienced in the South Pacific in WWII and in Southeast Asia in Vietnam. The American media did NOT divulge even 5% of what transpired there during those times. Americans would NEVER have consented to let their family members go there if they knew.
Point being...there are some people in this world you do NOT want to owe money to...the Chinese and Japanese would be right at the top of my list...and only a foolish Congresscritter could allow that to happen to America.
Perception is reality... and that is a law of politics.
LLS
Why not take a look at the Rasmussen poll that just came out, giving Republicans a 10 point congressional edge once again. OOOPS...sorry, Politico. I forgot your KEEN interest in non-bias!!
Frosty was trounced!
Unemployment numbers dropped by 27,000! to ONLY 447,000 new jobless claims this week!
And, And, the “recession” is now OFFICIALLY over! As of June of 2009! And, err, And, ummm, the Democrats will WIN, WIN, WIN, in 2010!
And...... Obama was greeted by cheers and an admiring crowd at his recent “Town Hall” meeting, which was completely positive and full of all the good and wonderful things that our exalted and wondrous leader has saved us from absolute Depression and economic disaster caused by those evil, nasty, greedy and awful Republican/Conservatives!
And, and Health Care will end the deficit! And Cap & tax will create economic prosperity never before seen in history! And Tea Party? (What's a Tea Party?)
I believe that the remarkable thing about the Battleground poll is that it is indeed tied. I think that this is the first time in history that Republican have been tied in this particular poll; in all previous polls the Republican have been behind.
Frost ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the House in 1974. He tried again successfully in 1978, becoming the second[citation needed] Jewish U.S. congressman from Texas, the first being David Spangler Kaufman.
Frost was reelected 12 times without serious opposition. He served as chairman of the House Democratic Caucus from 1999 to 2003. However, he was one of the targets of a controversial mid-decade redistricting engineered by then-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. His district, which included portions of Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington, was redrawn to be much more Republican. Its portions of Fort Worth and Arlington were replaced with wealthier and more Republican territory around Dallas.
While Al Gore won the old 24th fairly handily in 2000, the new 24th would have given George W. Bush a staggering 68 percent of the vote in that election. It was an open secret that the new 24th was redrawn for State Representative Kenny Marchant. Moreover, Frost's home in Arlington was shifted into the heavily Republican 6th District, represented by 10-term incumbent Joe Barton. Frost decided to seek re-election in the newly redrawn 32nd District, which included a considerable amount of territory that he had represented from 1979 until 1993. He lost by 10 points to Republican Pete Sessions. Since Ralph Hall's party switch earlier in 2004, Frost had been the only white Democrat to represent a significant portion of the Metroplex
Comment was not directed at you.
I did indicate how I took it, I said it was BS.
