Senate Battle 2002: Democrats Look Strong, But Don't Underestimate GOP

If the Republican Party would shake off the "Trents" and clearly reveal the truth of the fact that the Democrat Party is a political entity bankrupt of ideas and ideology, or which bases its ideas on a bankrupt ideology, there is nothing that could stop the GOP from becoming the majority party for the next generation.

there is nothing that could stop the GOP from becoming the majority party for the next generation.

Except the Americans people lack of knowledge regarding economics, race baiting, class warfare, 50% of people not paying income taxes and their votes being bought with the money of the 50% who do pay income taxes, left wing media, and a 1000 other things.

[Destructor]

Dimocrats look strong? That's funny. They look like the same bunch of corrupt, lying scumbags to me!

[princess leah]

Better watch out in St. Louis, MO since they are desperate and will stop at nothing to steal, invent, duplicate votes! Every republican in MO needs to vote for Jim Talent!

If we are still in a recession, the Democrats will not only pick up Senate seats, they will control the House as well.

There are signs that we may have bottomed-out of the recession. There may be clear signs of recovery by November, and Bush will be given the credit, whether he legitimately deserves it or not.

The next to worst thing that can happen is for Congress to pass a "stimulus" package, at a time when the economy seems to be pulling itself out of the dumps. The absolutely worse thing that could happen is for Congress to pass a Democrat-sponsored "stimulus" package, because the main interest of the Democrats isn't recovery, but keeping the economy in the dumps at least past the election, and perhaps into the next election cycle.

Why no mention of carpet-bagging, gun-banning liberal Libby Dole?

In Iowa there are two Republicans running to beat Harkin, Bill Salier and Greg Ganske. Bill Salier is a farmer and former Marine. He is traveling the state building up resources and support. He is amazing on the stump. He is a strict Constitutionalist. Bill Salier has the grassroats support in Iowa.

Ganske cannot excite the Republican base. He can't provide a difference between himself and Harkin. You cannot win win you run liberal vs. liberal-lite. I will show you how he has gone liberal in the past year.

Ganske has:
1. Received a D- from the NRA
2. Supported the federal funding of embronic stem cell reasearch
3. Supported the Kennedy's Patients Bill of Rights
4. Voted in favor of federalizing Airport Security
5. Supports the federal funding of Planned Parenthood
6. Voted against the President on the Economic Stimulus package
7. Voted in favor of the Domestic Partners Act
8. Supports the McCain/Feigold Finance Reform Act

Is this what you want to replace Harkin. A RINO that will still counteract Grassley. He has upset many Iowans. I know because I am an Iowan. If you have an (R) beside your name and you can't turn out your base then you lose. Bill Salier will present a clear difference. Please contact his campaign for more information. This man needs our support.

All of the people who ever lived in St. Louis still vote, even the dead ones, just like Chicago.

[Ditto]

Is this what you want to replace Harkin.

Honestly, a pile of warm dung would be an improvement on (or over) Harkin, but I see your point.

BUMP For Salier!

Daschle has warned business people in the state that if they contribute any money to Thune, any interest they have in legislation won't see the light of day.

Isn't this extortion?

"Daschle has warned business people in the state that if they contribute any money to Thune, any interest they have in legislation won't see the light of day."

And that, my friends is a perfect reason not to sell your soul to the devil...

Just who is suposed to be responsible to who in South Dakota anyway!

[Political Junkie Too]

Yup!!!

Is this another example of Daschle's super-majority at work?

-PJ

[grumpster-dumpster]

I guess so! Do you think the people of South Dakota even care that this guy is an example of a "Godather" movie... Make's offers no business can refuse!

2002: The Year of the GOP!

[StoneColdGOP]

Let them underestimate us, that's when we are at our most dangerous!

[Political Junkie Too]

Not if he can deliver on his promise for a federal bailout for South Dakota's Homestake Mine's liability for damaging the environment, while at the same time blocking drilling in ANWR for fear of damaging the environment.

-PJ

[grumpster-dumpster]

Hmmm...Interesting perspective. Which one needs to fail for the other to become insigniicant? Or do both have to fail for Tommy to become insignificant?

[OneWayToGo]

Well hellooo Bill Salier. After seeing his picture on the website you linked, I think I'll move to South Dakota so I can vote for this guy! ;)
