Politico's Mike Allen: 'Very Possible' Dems Will Win Back House Majority
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Was this sober political analysis, or merely an MSMer pining for the good old days of Speaker Pelosi?

On Morning Joe today, touting a Politico Pelosi puff piece about her "golden touch," Mike Allen claimed it was "very possible" that Democrats would retake the House majority in 2012.

It is also “very possible” that my pet goldfish will attend Harvard next semester. Is this allen creature using crack?

All I can say is that, if we reelect Obozo and his ilk, we deserve to go down in flames because we are too stupid to recognize and correct a mistake.

Oh yeah, that is what the American people want, more deficit spending.

POLITICO makes no secret about their pro-Democrat positions. They were the initial drivers on the hit pieces on Cain,,their headlines are always slanted to read “Repub bad/Dem Good” and they use sleazy reporting techniques with an abundance of “anonymous” sources. It’s really more like The National Enquirer with a political agenda.

I’m betting Mika had an ‘organism’ when he said this and Joe just nodded his head like an elder statesman.

I’m so glad you watch this show and keep us posted on the stupidity that invariably pops up.

I DVR it but very, very seldom have the stomach to actually view it.

Mucho thanks GLGB.

I’m convinced that are enough stupid people, parasites and illegal aliens in this country who would vote for Obama.

We can’t let our guard down. A second term would be the end of America as we know it.

“It is also “very possible” that my pet goldfish will attend Harvard next semester.”

This could quite possibly increase the amount of original thought that goes on in that institution.

Anything from Politico is suspect, to say the least.

That said, we should use this trash-talk as bulletin board material.

Actually this could happen. The dems know we aren’t happy about our 2012 Prez choices.

We get stuck with Romney and people will become apathetic and stay home. It could happen.

The down ballot pubbies could lose.

2010 was a great win, but we didn’t win the Senate. The dems are using the gridlock to pound pubbies with. They also have the MSM to give them a huge lift.

If we had taken the Senate in 2010, we could lob the lack of cooperation on Obama only because he would have had to veto everything.

About the picture, from his perspective he’s tilting to the right.

I think it is dreaming. Hussein is not popular, even though there has been a bit of a jump in his poll numbers. He and the Demonrats “own the economy”.

Highly unlikely.

MSNBCPOLITICO: A commanding presence for Politico on the left’s favorite cable news channel

The Politico has an agenda, and it does not give the Republicans a large part in any endeavor.

“...’very possible’ Pelosi and Dems will regain House majority in 2012”

Which means, like the defeat of the Nazi war machine in WWII, destroying the sources of supply to that machine, destroying the means by which the machine could deliver its mayhem to the world, and destroying the morale of its leaders and supporters.

We know the rules of engagement. The question is, will we use them to our advantage, or let the other side treat us as patsies?
