Their orgy at Wellstone's funeral cost them the election in MN and more due to their massive inappropriate behavior. That massive inappropriate behavior was seen by moderates and conservatives, and it cost them that senate seat in MN.It cost them a LOT more than just Minnesota. Despite the desperate attempts by the "mainstream" media to cover it up (the gave the funerally a little play the same day, and then dropped the subject altogether), it was just about the only thing the country was talking about from the moment it happened until Election Day itself. And where were we talking about it? On cable news, on the Net, on talk radio. The "mainstream" media was completely circumvented and rendered totally irrelevant. And millions of swing voters went GOP as a result.
Something similar will happen next fall. God only knows what stupidity the RATS will end up performing, but when they do, they'll pay the price.
You are right in that the DemonicRat Orgy at the Wellstone funeral probably cut into their votes across the nations. We do know that it really cost them in Minnesota.
We are seeing a similiar revulsion to the outrageous behaviors shown by Mad Max Waters, Henry Nostralitis Waxman and their grand Kleegle Dirty Byrd re President Bush's landing on the Abraham Lincoln. A lot of moderates who served in the military or have relatives or friends in the military now were/are outraged by the lunatic whining of these three.
I think that we are seeing the implosion of many of the rats since 9/11. The victory in Iraq and GW's popularity will cause more self inflicted implosions between now and the elections in 2004.
