...and a brain... like about 50,000 to one over "dingy harry"
This has nothing to do with predicting the future although (correct me if I am wrong) he and Chrystal (yes, the female name) predicted lossed in the 2006 election.
His analysis is spot on.
Why would any Pubbie expect the Dems to "play fair"? There is no way that the Dems will "play fair" with judges. Even if they had any thoughts of doing so (which they don't), they wouldn't dare do so now because that would offend their radical Leftist base.
Dingy is about as bright as Patty Murray.
I think my dog could have predicted how the '06 elections were going to play out.
I prefer my political analysts to be non-partisan. Leave partisanship to the politicians and agendists.
I can hardly believe that pubbies in Congress have a senator with brains, guts and a spine. It makes me almost believe in Santa Claus.
Yet when the republicans were in the majority we all bitched about the dashole minority stopping any and everything.
And yes I know he was in the congress.
Have always liked Mitch McConnell. Good wrting by Barnes.
Oh Fred is OK but my concern is why did not the Pubs use this brilliant party strategy in '05, '06 when they should have been beating the brains out of the Dem lib minority?? They should have been pushing every BASE concern for the years they held the Senate. Now it is too late.
The writing's on the wall....base concerns have taken a backseat to international concerns, and our voters are feeling a bit used by having their concerns used solely as an electral device while being legislatively ignored.
It's not TOO late. It is better late than never.
Well .. I sure told him:
1. We are mad as hell (and we're not a bunch of wild-eyed kooks) - we're your BASE.
2. We want the repubs to stop playing footsy with the dems.
3. We want the rampant spending (pork barrel stuff) to STOP!
4. We want the corruption to be dealt with fast and sure - and we don't care how the dems handle it - we know they're going to lie and hide - but the repubs better not try that.
These are the reasons most of the base didn't show up in 2006. We didn't want the dems to win .. but you were ignoring us .. and .. WHAT EVER YOU DO .. DO NOT CONFUSE 2006 WITH ANY EFFORT ON OUR PART TO CUT AND RUN FROM THE WAR. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO WINNING ..??
We want to WIN in Iraq! .. we do not want to tell the families of our fallen .. your family member died in vain.
you should still be encouraged. Mitch McConnell is a real man and won't be rolled by dingy harry and his ilk. McConnell knows how to fight and isn't afraid.
Yeah, but the Senate can't do anything legislatively without the House stamp.
I noticed that the legacy media went out of its way to explain cloture, something they never did when the dems were obstructing GOP bills.
Plenty of people on FR couldn't. Hell, there were some Kool-Aid drinkers predicting republican gains.
Fred votes republican. I can live with that.
Imagine how effective Mr. Barnes could be for Republicans if he were advocating for the Democrats.
Too bad they weren't very good when they had the MAJORITY!!! Frist was a HUGE disappointment.
Reid will be totally shown to be the total FOOL and GIRLY MAN he is.
I suspect I'm going to have to email Sen. Reid and tell him he is an embarrassment to Nevada. He is so full of himself, it's not funny. How anyone can believe the lies that come out of his mouth is beyond me.
Thanks for the ping...I'll forward the URL...
