Mary Matalin Calls Election ‘Last Gasp of Liberals’

But the gerrymandering to protect seats is much stronger than in the past. A 29 seat loss now is like losing fifty or sixty in other eras.

Let's be very honest with ourselves: cut spending, and limit the use of our military to killing people and breaking things. Otherwise the voters will object. And heck, if I weren't pro-life, I might have joined them.

Wow, I need glasses...seeing everything twice again.

Mary Matlin married a geek and she wants us to listen to her?

Lieberman, a conservative...I don't think so! His voting record is the envy of Barbara Boxer's!

And the same may be said for others, but I stopped reading after such stupidity!

Mary Matalin needs a divorce. When that happens, I might trust her.

[Hendrix]

I totally agree. Web's platform reads like Karl Marx. He is worried about the have nots and wants the government to redistribute wealth to even out the unjust riches that are going to the rich in our current economy.

[MJemison]

I dont give much credibility to mary Matalin. She is married to the Snakehead. That doesnt say much for her I agree. For our own safety, she should be kept as far away from the Republican leadership as possible.

Maybe she's just trying to annoy James.

Mary, like most of the U.S., is clueless about all of Mitt Romney's "Massachusetts Problems". Mitt is finished as a serious Presidential candidate, and Massachusetts Governor-elect Deval Patrick will be attacking the entire Romney administration for all of the future problems with the Big Dig Project that happen during Patrick's entire duration as Governor. Add Romney's failure to create political inroads for Republicans in Massachusetts while also making fun of Massachusetts politics at the same time, Mitt's snubbing of Charlie Baker wanting to run for Governor this year as a strong and serious Republican candidate in order for Mitt to practice some "political favoritism" to allow "weaker Republican candidate" Kerry Murphy Healey the Republican Massachusetts Primary for Governor all to herself, Mitt's failure as Chairman of the Republican Governor's Association this year to truly make some political inroads for Republican candidates for Governor this year all over the U.S.-including Mitt's decision to not heavily and not frequently campaign with Kerry Murphy Healey for her own run for Republican Governor right in Massachusetts where she ended up losing very badly, Mitt's using Massachusetts as just a "stepping stone" for a run for President, Mitt's continued failure to get a Massachusetts ballot question created for '08 that allows state voters the right to vote either "yes" or "no" on both gay marriage and civil unions as well as failure for such a ballot question in the past during Mitt's duration as Governor, and all past, present, and, as I had already mentioned, future problems with the Big Dig Project, Mitt Romney has a lot of questions that need to be answered, and the Democrats have plenty of issues to use against him.

Matalin is a pill and I am thoroughy bored with her schtick. I attended a luncheon where she was the keynote speaker and I came away with a knot in my stomach.

I used to feel sorry for her because of the way Car-vile treated her, but now I think she's simply asking for it.

I have always felt that she sold Bush I down the drain when she was sleeping with the Clinton campaign manager (Car-vile). I don't understand why the Bushes keep giving her jobs. She is not one of us.

[Niteranger68]

Maybe she's just trying to annoy James.

This works much better.

Matalin thinks Sen. John McCain believes what he says and is liked by many conservatives.

Not as many as she thinks. In fact, I bet there's many more who don't like McCain at all, including me.

"Matalin notes that voters did not vote for candidates with a liberal agenda. In fact, according to a post-election survey by the National Taxpayers Union (NTU), GOP candidates who strayed from the principles of fiscal conservatism were more likely to alienate their base and be defeated."

If Matalin truely believes those words perhaps she can explain to me what happened in Indiana's Eighth Congressional District race.

John Hostettler(R), six term Congressman with conservative Christian values who chaired the Committee on Immagration was thrown out in favor of local county sheriff who admittedly knew little about the federal legislative process. Hostettler lost by the largest margin of any Republican candidate in this year's election.

If the Eighth District voters were so willing to throw the baby out with the bath water, how can Matalin be so sure of future success for the Party?

"This election was simply a temper-tantrum that benefitted the Democrats. If they think they won on the "merits," they're even more moonbatty than we think they are."

The problem with your rosy little scenario is that once the Deocrats, with Bush's collusion, pass the "amnesty for illegal aliens with path to citizenship", the millions of new Democrat voters will assure a PERMANENT Democrat majority, and the Republican party's Conservative wing will be DEAD, DEAD, DEAD.

I always thought Mary's advice to Bush 41 to act presidential and not start campaigning until after the Republican Convention was purposefully given in order to give klinton an edge. I never trusted her.

[Tanniker Smith]

I'm happy to see more conservative Democrats, even if they aren't in positions of power at the moment. The old guard will have to step down some day. They will die off. And then the balance will come back to the Democrat party. And when that day comes, the GOP will have to decide who they really are.

If the Democrats become more conservative, then the GOP loses the middle. But that's a discussion for 12 years from now.

[Tall_Texan]

But then look at what she married. Can you really trust her to know who is and who isn't conservative?

[Eva]

I have no doubt that Hillary is the reason that Murtha lost the vote in the house, today. Hillary is preparing to move the Democrats to the middle. I'm sure that it was the Clinton strategy to get congress people elected by posing as conservatives. She's running things for the Democrat party, or more likely, Bill is. That's why Carville was calling for getting rid of Dean.

[sgtbono2002]

I feel exactly the same way.

Oh good, you saw it too, I thought I was having a muscle spasm in my eyes.
