Get ready for the hysteria and meltdown. Newsweak published a poll today claiming it is all over. Everyone hates the Republicans over Foley, Democrats are going to win 1000 seats we Conservative can all just stay home election day because Newsweak poll shows the game is over.
It pure BS, they withheld their Internals to indicate how many Dems-Reps-Indies they polled and when they polled them but it doesn't matter. The Chicken Littles are having hysterics. Sorry but I guess we are going to find a 50%D-30R-20 "Indepentent" split on this once the pros get done dismateling it. It makes no sense to suggest as many as 1/3 of Republicans are bying the Foley smear job.
If so many Republicans were upset about this and felt this way you would see it here. SOME % of Freepers would be reflecting the attitutes Newsweak is claiming their pollsters are finding. NO one is. Virtually overnight the breech in the Repubulican base has been sealed. Everyone is focused on why they hate the Dems NOT what they are upset with President Bush and the Leadership about.
I believe that is correct. Notwithstanding that this is a "conservative" board, I have seen over time that the spectrum of comments and attitudes, when you weed out the trolls, is pretty reflective of the Republican party generally. If this Foley thing was working at all, we would see it here. LOL. Julie Banderas just called the Phelps woman an "airtime whore." Just thougt I'd mention it.
Gee, Johnnie, I thought it was all over last week, the week before that and each week before that. For months now, Newsweek and others have been telling us it's all over.
I posted this earlier to Congressman Billy Bob. Frankly, I'm in bragging mode right now because of the comparison between Democrats and Republicans. My efforts now is to get the word out to voters here.
By the way, polls are not done so quickly. My guess is these polls are based on gut, initial reactions and not the true positions of voters once they have the facts and understand the situation. We just can't fall for the hype and we have to let it develop for a week or so before there will be any real indication on voter attitudes. Remember too, almost all these antics backfire on Democrats.

I realize the media spin and Democrat accusations but the Foley debacle should be a source of pride for every Republican.
We had an issue and it was dealt with. Rep. Foley resigned and the House Speaker is taking steps to counter this happening again. The Ethics Committee has gotten involved for developing the facts in this case and the FBI has the information to pursue it if there was anything done that was illegal.
Is there any, ANY, question that had Foley been a Democrat they would still be circling the wagons in protecting Foley and calling any criticism homophobia. The Democrats are shameless and for the next thirty days they will be proving that to every voter.
