Tom Murphy going down has to be one of the biggest upsets in the country. That would be the equivalent of South Dakota voting Daschle out, or MA voting Tip O'Neill out. That guy has always steered warehouses full of pork to little 'ol Bremen, GA. What the heck happened, was he found in bed with a dead girl or a live boy?

Combination of Paulding Co. becoming much more a Cobb County-like suburban enclave, along with people upset with Murphy's placement of a new reservoir in Carroll County adjacent to land that Murphy, his brother-in-law and several other relatives & close friends own. Their land (which'll become lakefront property) will skyrocket in value.

Some folks will probably point to other issues as well, but these two are probably the biggest factors.

Kirk just conceded to Cornyn in Tx. Sanchez won't concede to Perry. Press conference tomorrow. Republicans also win Attorney General race. Looks like R's kicked a$$ in Tx!!!

I have to disagree. It will be easy to do the right things. What choice do the Republicans have? IF they stand, and I do pray God we will stand, then they MUST deliver. They will. Our Country has been locked in this weird mess for too long. Our Nation will move forward and quickly. We have no choice. If the Republicans DON'T deliver, that is the end of it. Don't you think? Republicans will be voted out, in droves, if they don't keep their platform and positions.

Folks, our hats have to go off to President Bush. He has used his political capital selflessly to take back the Congress. His agenda will go forward which will replenish what he has "spent" in time for his reelection. Winners always take risks! His campaigning was a wise risk!

So this Demo would like to see things go badly for Bush in Iraq in order to retake control of the govt---I wonder if he's stopped to consider what that means in terms of American lives? Pretty sad.

From DU:
Sadly enough perhaps the only salvation and hope left for this country is for Herr Bush and his thugs to invade Iraq. Hopefully, that will blow up in his face and we can get back on track again.

>>Heather Wilson stood tall during impeachment. A good conservative and a fine young woman.<<

Indeed she is. The loss of Heather will probably hurry my retreat from the "Land of Enchantment" to the High Plains of western Texas. From the past two elections, the word "Enchantment" may as well mean "northern Mexico" except that Mexico is more pro-business.

"Not for the faint of heart."

That's an understatement. Hubby and I just read the diatribe and I told him "you'll NEVER see stuff like that at FR". Which is why I like it here. We're fairly civil, eh wot?

"Nahhh, she's just an arrogant old broad. 72% reporting, Talent 52 Carnahan 46."

Aren't all the Rats. You have a very succinct and flowery grasp of the English language. I'd just call her a socialist bitch.

I agree! A perfect trifecta IMHO would be the defeat of Patches, Fat Teddy and the thoroughly repulsive Hitlary all on the same night!

Wouldn't it be Hillary-ious if the write-in votes for Wellstone made the difference in Mondale's losing in a close vote?

How sweet it would be!

Right Here for the whole thing

General George S. Patton's Speech to the Third Army - the Unabridged Edition

Shield the children's eyes, lots of grown-up euphamisms

Sure, we want to go home. We want this war over with. The quickest way to get it over with is to go get the bastards who started it. The quicker they are whipped, the quicker we can go home. The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo. And when we get to Berlin, I am personally going to shoot that paper hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler. Just like I'd shoot a snake!

When a man is lying in a shell hole, if he just stays there all day, a German will get to him eventually. The hell with that idea. The hell with taking it. My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And don't give the enemy time to dig one either. We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have; or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-bitches, we're going to rip out their living Goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun cock suckers by the bushel-fucking-basket.

War is a bloody, killing business. You've got to spill their blood, or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shoot them in the guts. When shells are hitting all around you and you wipe the dirt off your face and realize that instead of dirt it's the blood and guts of what once was your best friend beside you, you'll know what to do!

I don't want to get any messages saying, 'I am holding my position.' We are not holding a Goddamned thing. Let the Germans do that. We are advancing constantly and we are not interested in holding onto anything, except the enemy's balls. We are going to twist his balls and kick the living shit out of him all of the time. Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a tin horn!

And that's one of the lighter comments, compared to some of the ones on their threads.
