This was an excellent post. We need to attack the reputations of the newly elected Rats, including the phony "conservatives," ASAP and KEEP IT UP. I mean we must do this individually, in their districts. This is a standard Rat technique, and we need to learn from them. If Shuler and all the other freshman Rats have a chance to define themselves to district voters and become popular as individuals, not just symbols of anti-Bush sentiment, it will be VERY HARD to unseat most of them. We need to find the most vulnerable point in each one's armor and go after it starting TODAY and doing it EVERY DAY with letters to the editor, word of mouth, FReep demonstrations, etc., etc., etc. Leave no stone unturned, and DON'T worry about being "fair." The nation's future is at stake.

This kind of passive nonsense is what loses us elections.

bump for CBB- If you become a Congressman, will we have to address you as Congressman "Congressman Billybob"?

You reminded me of my friends at a bar in Washington that I frequented. (One of the reasons I moved from D.C. to North Carolina was to save my wallet and my liver, BTW.) Anyway, I came in one afternoon and announced that I was going back to college to get my Ph.D.

Without missing a beat, one of my friends said, "I guess after that we'll have to call you, 'Dr. *sshole.'" It's always good for anyone who aspires to high office be taken down a peg or two from time to time.

Wait a second though....Maybe I should have made this more clear..
I voted straight ticket Republican. I except everyone that has any morals or principles whatsoever to vote straight ticket Republican. We did. We did what we could. And, yes, I'll expect that again in 08.

But, the point I was making is...now that we've done what we can..and yes, we'll also do the same thing in 08, we don't have to go around depressed or thinking it's the end of the world in the meantime.

Yes, looking back at my post, I can see that it could have seemed as if I was someone who didn't vote because I thought it would be "good for us" to experience this....or even someone who voted Democrat because of the same reason.

Believe me, that would never happen.

My comments were only saying, "here's how we can look at this, now that it's behind us and we have to live with the results of it for the next two years".

Oh, and yes, the scripture says that no one has authority unless God gives it to them. But, I don't think that means we just stay home and let God voter-fraud the election machines so that the right person wins, either. We have to do our part. But, in the end, there's a reason for it, even when it seems like it didn't work out the way we thought it should.

all sorts of who-struck-John with the FEC

I need some help here. I know your name is John, but I'm just not getting what this means.

Thanks for the link, but I couldn't help thinking that the poster (the quite honorable Congressman Billy Bob) was referring to himself in the phrase that I questioned.

"Who struck John" is an old Southern expression which I learned from my Mother, who grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. It means a generalized mess which one would rather avoid, if possible.

Thanks for the clarification.

And good luck avoiding it if possible.

I was not familiar with that particular colloquialism, myself.

Which is why I looked it up

{I'm old enough to remember when the use of *that* phrase implied that BOOKS were involved!)

and decided that in the interest of propagating arcana it was worthwhile to share the link.
