"These turkeys are in trouble and they know it."I, too, am amused by their lack of faith. Our solidarity against the trillion-dollar boondoggle really set them off ... They are genuinely worried about 2010, because they know history is on our side. Same-party presidents traditionally lose a shitload of seats in the first mid-term.
SO ... a 35-seat swing in 2010 leaves a slim 8-seat majority 221-213 (1 current absence by Rohm Ernst, er, Rahm Emanuel, likely to go to a Donk; BUT expect Gillibrand to be replaced by a Republican, so make that 221-214) - the Donks know they get one shot at trojan-horsing socialism in this bullshit trillion-dollar boondoogle before we're back to peeling away enough Blue Dogs to shut them down past 2010.
This is the strategy we must follow. Support a conservative first, and if you can't find a conservative, screw your make-nice coward RINO and support your Blue Dog. WE CAN STOP BARRY-PELOSI-SCHUMER COLD IN 2010.
