" You have to wonder about so many fellow Americans who would actually vote for this POS "
When was the last time we had an election that was decided on "strength of ideas" -- rather than on "Money spent and dirt dug"....
Our educational system has, for 50 years, been dedicated to turning out uncritical consumers that will fit the models of marketing/advertising types.
We reap what we have sown.....
November 7, 2006.
Republicans spent all their time digging dirt and buying stupid commercials, and advanced no ideas at all. The Democrats were no better, of course, but at least they could run as outsiders. It was incumbent on the Republicans to explain why they deserved re-election, and they wasted their time on nonsense instead.
We deserved the plastering we got. We richly deserved it.
For a Democrat, he's not so bad.
Election night 2004 I thought Obama was a bit of a beacon of hope in the Democratic Party. While the majority of the Democrats were whining about another Bush victory and the woes sure to follow - Obama was appealing for the country to accept the results, work together and move forward.
At least he isn't from the Michael Moore contingency. Not my first choice for President, but looking over the Democrats options - he is actually pretty high up there IMO.
I'm just sayin'.... who else are you looking at from the Dems beyond Hillary?
Yep. The GOP ran a carpet bagger candidate in the form of Alan Keyes and lost. Now, the Laimstream media is fawning all over Osama Obama as if it were the second coming. We have a similar situation here in the 3rd CD of Tennessee, although without all the media coverage.
For the last 3 election cycles the RNC has refused to support and run a real candidate in my district (but they still want my money). This past election the first time I saw the 'Pubbie candidate's name was on the ballot. No signs, no TV ads, nothing. And this is for an area that was once held by Zach Wamp (R), before the gerrymandering of the district in 2001. The current congresscritter, Lincoln Davis (D), is a stuffed suit and would be easy to beat, IMO.
Is it really all that difficult to see why the GOP lost both houses of Congress? I don't think so.
Further proof, look at the "music" being shoved down the kids throats nowadays. Pure garbage! It could be a recording of mooing cows flatulating, but if it's images are full of bling, and sking, it's an award winning zillion seller.
