Granted, Pelosi probably won't be the best person for speaker. I want
Murtha.

Again, it sounds like you've given up on controlling the House of Reps.
And repugs won't be snickering when they start going to jail en masse for
all the corrupt dealings and misdeeds they've been up to for over a
decade.

Keep the welfare flowing - vote republican.
The only problem is the next generation has to pay for all your welfare.
If anyone votes for a republican it's because he's delusional and/or
immoral. Massive debt, manufactured WMD so they could take us to war,
manufactured surpluses so they could bankrupt our treasury etc. Even
conservative George Will wrote months ago that anyone who thinks Iraq
has anything to do with terrorism is delusional. Bush think it does, so
does Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and 99.99% of the GOP congress. If Will is
right, the GOP is delusional.
The rest of us get it and I'll go on record and say there's going to be
a blowout. Dems will win big. Even massive government welfare can't
help the GOP.

Yes, in particular, welfare for war profiteers. That's what the Iraq war
really was. An intentionally trumped up opportunity to try to hand out
hundreds of billions of tax payer dollars to repug cronies. Of course,
repugs always tried to hand out huge amounts of the public treasury to
the wealthy and buy votes through tax bribery. That's why public
financing of elections would actually save $1000 dollars for every dollar
it cost, because repug campaign contributors are literally getting back
$1000 dollars from the public treasury for every dollar that they
contribute to these GOP thieves.
The only problem is the next generation has to pay for all your welfare.
No, we are simply going to confiscate the ill-gotten gains that
halliburton and others illegally plundered in Iraq. They and other war
profiteers need to be made examples of to show that we will never again
tolerate this type of blatant corruption.
If anyone votes for a republican it's because he's delusional and/or
immoral.
Mostly it's because they're stupid and therefore fundy nutcases, that
they vote repug. True, they've been brainwashed as well, but there
wasn't much brain there to wash in the first place, in the case of many
theocons.
The rest of us get it and I'll go on record and say there's going to be
a blowout. Dems will win big.
Perhaps, but righteous indigation and wishing doesn't make it so. I
don't think repugs will be able to steal this election, but I can't say
for sure how people will vote. Even with scandals, I know that fundy
morons will continue to support repugs because they have nowhere else to
go. Fortunately, about a third of the country claims to be independent
or swing voters and I think this is where Democrats will draw their
strength.

All they need is a few more "immigrants can be deported for voting"
mail blitzes, a few more "I'm gay and we're supporting the Democratic
candidate" phone campaigns and a 9/11-level "terrorist attack" just
before the elections, and they're a shoe-in. Add Arizonans now
needing photo ID cards, electronic voting fraud, a few more little
dirty tricks, and it's no contest.

Bush probably is. The rest of them know that Iraq is just the latest

No, he's making a safe bet that people are fed up with the corrupt,
theocratic, neo-conmen running the show right now. But I don't pretend
to predict the future. But it does seem that the corruption angle has
really started to resonate with voters, especially with help from the
foley scandal and the desperate meltdown of the right-wing spin machine
in the aftermath of that coverup. That, more than foley himself, seems
to be what really hurt them. Democrats have wisely sat back and allowed
republicans to hang themselves.

Oh? You seem to have read something I overlooked.
Who, how, and when?
But if so, the timing was terrible. My second thought on hearing
the initial story was that it was going to be a nine-day wonder,
but that there were six weeks left for everybody to forget about
it.
If it was a dirty trick, it was the work of a rank amatuer.

Democrats engineered the timing of the Foley revelations for maximum
effect.
And what if they did, not that you have any actual evidence. Repugs have
been manipulating elections consistently, ever since Reagan manipulated
the Iranians to not release the American hostages until after the
election. Don't tell me that you think that's not a well documented
fact. And I suppose you're going to tell me that this curious, 11-month
low in the price of gas is just because "people don't want to drive".
Naturally, if things were going well in Iraq, or if there were democrats
embroiled in scandals, I'm sure that the republicans would be attempting
to exploit this to full effect to influence elections. It just happens
that the shoe is on the other fool and the repug spin machine broke down
when they tried spin one scandal too many with the Foley thing. See,
even if the democrats were behind the release of the Foley information,
it was inept repug handling of it that was the real problem. Democrats
couldn't have anticipated the way that repugs would embarrass themselves
by trying to cover up the coverup.
