This coming from a "man" (Senator Turban) who compared our armed forces to the Nazis. Who gives a shiite what Dick Durbin thinks about anything?

filled with Republican members resentful of the way he and the White House conducted the losing campaign.

They still don't get it. They have no idea what's going on outside the beltway.

(Durbin Hopes Rove "Got Religion")

I have it on very good information that Mr. Rove is a very devout man.

[MNJohnnie]

Yeah considering your personal political Idol is Bill Clinton, a man who failed at everything he touched, I would not be so quick to crow Senator Treason.

[concerned about politics]

“Maybe he got religion on Nov. 7, but we’ll see.”

On the contrary. The democrats got religion. They went conservative, wore crosses around their necks, showed up in churches, and even hauled around little black bibles under their arms.

The left just doesn't get it. Their candidates were even farther right than ours were. That's why we lost.

I think the voters will be more than ready to kick the democrats out in 2008 if they turn back to their sinful, liberal ways. LOL.

[BusterBear]

Senator Turban sure is cocky, considering his party only has a 50-49 majority, with Lieberman hinting he might jump if he doesn't like the way things are going.

[DemforBush]

I remember the first time I saw Durbin on tv, during the Senate hearings on the Clinton fundraising scandals. I just about lost my lunch. What a slimy, mealy-mouthed creep!

[OldFriend]

Why doesn't the NYT just get religion and add DNC to their name. It's an accomplished fact so why not be open about it.

[MeanFreePath]

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I can easily see the dem leadership misinterpreting the importance of the results of this 6th year off year election and badly overreaching, doing everything they can to insure that they really get it handed to them in the ugliest way in 2008 by a re-invigorated Republican party...

Two idiots to write one story, and the MSM wonder why there are job cuts at newspapers.

My three main gripes with Bush and Rove over the past
6 years have been: Spending, Immigration and their
insistence in not confronting the vicious Democratic
LIE machine, head on.

Rove and Bush, seem to have an approach of over-
gentrfication. As if, by staying "above the fray",
they somehow will appear more pure in intention,
motive and action.

With the constant onslaught from the radical left,
it took the Administration far too long to realize
that they were losing the middle-ground of American
opinion, particularly with Iraq, and the WOT.

Even a Gentleman most realize that after enough
low blows have been thrown, that it is DAMN well
time to "take the gloves off".

Recognizing this took the administration far too long.
Tony Snow, who is an excellent Press Sec., was a move
in that right direction, but that in itself was too little
too late.

Now that the Bush/Rove team finds itself in a defensive
legislative position, it will be interesting too see
what type of counteroffensive capabilities Mr Rove
can procure. Before term's end, we may be referring
to Karl as a TRULY magnificent bastard yet.....JJ61

Be the director of political activity in the most political place on the planet without any political power has got to suck.

Government IS religion to the left.

God-mocking punks.
