too late now Morons. Hopefully there is a lot less pork coming your way.

That would be well over 1,500 voters — more than enough to make Thune the winner on Election Day.

I have reservations about that claim. The RATS would have needed to dig up 1,500 more dead Indians to vote for Johnson.

And the truth comes out that it wasn't the Red Herring Libertarians but the 'big government 'R's' who turned the election.

[teletech]

Tommy who??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[cynicom]

Stupid is as stupid does. Sounds like they were really socialists anyway.

[chimera]

Too bad, suckers. You've got a Minority Leader now, about as useless as t*ts on a boar. Deal with it.

[Jaxter]

Cool cover...

[Joe Brower]

Ping!

[Billthedrill]

Well, voting on the basis of peripheral issues turns them into primary issues, there's no getting around that. Shouldn't be a big surprise to anyone.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

But, but...I thought the Losertarians were responsible for Thune's defeat....NOT!!!

[Saundra Duffy]

BASTARDS!

[TheGrimReaper]

...Republicans who voted for Tim Johnson now wish they hadn't.

Yep... me too.

To the 95% I say, "Switch parties NOW! You are Democrat! Be honest...or at least be a Democrat in name while you are being a Democrat in action! Once you become a Democrat, nobody will care about your dishonesty!"

To the 5% I say, "You sniveling idiots! You reap what you sow! You intended to influence national politics by such puny, selfish motives...and your puny selfishness has left your state behind in a backwater as the nation moves forward under Republican leadership!"

To that Republican leadership I say, "Get off your duffs and LEAD DAMMIT!!!!"

[Blood of Tyrants]

It is a little late now.

I'm sorry that the rest of us have to suffer for the stupidity of these few. Nevertheless, we have to look at the aptness of calling these people Republicans or; allowing them to call themselves Republicans. When push came to shove these people were shown to not be Republicans.
Calling them Republicans is like crying about those nitwit libertarians not voting for our candidates. They are rat voting enemies and so are those greedy farmers in South Dakota. Yes, I said greedy farmers. I live in a city. I don't care where my food comes from. In every other instance of progress bumping status quo, we hear the same shiite. "We have to save the family farm!" Why? Did we save the family buther shop or family hardware store or family blacksmith shop? When will these people realize that family farms are a thing of the past. They can't keep putting out their hands and crying about how noble they are, what self reliant small businessmen they are, and; still call themselves Republicans. I don't know what they are but; they certainly aren't Republicans. Let the big companies grow the food guys. Sell the land and get your hands out of my pocket - there are too many people doing that already.
