The New York Times makes a valiant effort to put a happy face on the recent special congressional elections that were won by Republicans running in Democrat strongholds. However, by the end of the article, they have to admit that things don't look very good for Democrats, generally, no matter how you spin it and that Obama may well be defeated in 2012, but only because, according to the New York Times, a 'wave' is going to bring back Republicans to power in Washington. Not that it has anything to do with the communist, Barack Obama. Noooooo.

The combination of liberal teeth-gnashing/hand-wringing while at the same time denying this has anything to do with the zero is very interesting to watch.

This idiot in the NY Slimes said this just yesterday!:

"special elections to Congress, while interesting on their own merits, should more or less be ignored in terms of their national implications."

Now he is talking about how this election swung on the "national environment"??

What a tool.

To the New York Times:

You can’t wish this one away. No matter HOW liberal one’s thinking may have started off being, a mugging like what we have seen from the Democrat Congress and the White House from early in 2009 and all through 2010, set the stage for the brutal awakening going on now, as the full impact of that rape of the Constitution sets in.

There is a way that the current and now failing regime in the White House can reverse the current trend. And that is to call for just about a total repeal of everything that was passed by the rubber-stamp 111th Congress.

Most of that is going to be repealed anyway starting in 2013, just as well get started with the demolition job now.

The next special election to watch is the West Virginia governor election on Oct 4.

Could the voters of the ninth even spell republican day before yesterday? Good for them and really bad for obumer.

There were no local issues here, and to claim that Koch and Hikind were the local issues is just silly.

It is amazing how the post "Special Election" comments change from one in which a Democrap wins and one in which a Democrap Loses.

A previous Special election (2010 I think) the Democraps claimed that the victory showed that their national initatives were correct. Now Special elections are only determined by local issues. What BOOBS!

If Rinos don’t get put down in the Congress, it will be Republicans who get scalped next. Americans are not socialists and they make terrible peasants.
