If you feel this way, why post it? I wonder

So that someone will tell me REALISTICALLY why my hunch is wrong. If there is anytime I want to be proven wrong, it is now. So please anyone, give me your best shot.

Why bother Link? You are either a Democrat poster or have jumped off the ship before the battle even started. What is the point of arguing with defeatists?

Good Luck to you

Because to most people the Foley thing is a non-issue and every conservative I know would crawl over glass and swim through alcohol to pull that lever on the 7th.

and yes, most of them are "church goers"

IMO - I love the fact that the Mid-Terms are in the news so much, it reminds people that there are big elections right around the corner - so, THANKS FOLEY!

One reason is, the American people support their incumbents with a 60% favorable rating, on average. There are more incumbent pubbies than rats. Re-election of a pubbie majority therefore is the most probable outcome of the election.

Tip O'Neill, the last good (as in "skilled") Democrat Speaker of the House, summed it up by saying "All politics is local." Foley is out of Congress. The average voter doesn't care about whether some guy in Florida may have sent salacious messages to House pages--well, former pages--well, they were adults after all . . . just what is the story again?

I don't see into the future, but If republicans are stupid enough to stay home at this time in our history because they don't like one or two things Bush did, or because of some scandal in the house, or any other reason like that, then we are all doomed.

I choose to hope that people realize that this is about more than money, the economy, and some idiot writing emails, it is the fight for our very lives and existence. The democrats will NOT defend this country. They will destroy us. Don't like the spending? You won't like the funding for partial birth abortion either, or for welfare, or for propping up terrorists.

I am just appalled at some of the posts here on FR saying republicans need to be taught a lesson. They will be alright if they actually allow the leftists to take control. Only it won't just be those in DC, it will be those who chose to vote 3rd party, or just stay home. God help us all.
