I remember having the same sense of despair back in ‘92 when Clinton was elected with a strong Dem congress. They overstepped their bounds, and look what happened two years later — they were swept out and we held the House and Senate for 12 years (except for the year in which Jeffords of VT went to the dark side). This is a cyclical event; we’ll be back.
It’s all about stemming the tidal wave - I will do what I can - always have - but I see the future (50 years) and it doesn’t look bright. Anyway, I’m king of depressed having a 4 year old son and seeing his future of fighting communism.
Reagan should be on Rushmore - he staved off communism for 30 years. Will another Reagan rise? I sure hope and pray.
Yes, another Reagan will rise. He or she is out there. The dems will overstep their bounds — you KNOW they can’t resist it.
60 Democrat senators people. 60!!
That means a LOT of bad stuff will happen before 2010 that will be near impossible to undo.
Folks, we have a lot of smart, conservative, talented young Republican leaders out there. In the coming years they’ll rise to the surface. We’re already seeing a couple of them now in Sarah and Bobby Jindal. If (God forbid) Obama does win, yes he’s going to have a big lib majority in the Congress, for a little while, but in 2010, the tables turn insofar as Senate seats to defend for the dems. If I’m not mistaken, it’ll be something like 21 vs. 9 (?)
C’mon. We’re gonna get through it and emerge even stronger in the future. The Dem/GOP nationwide split in ‘76 was 44-21, yet four years later came Big Ron and control of the Senate.
“she’s guessing it’ll initially go to about 75%”
Yes that’s a great concern to me, but that’s even better reason to move to Phils. I can live there on 60% of my small
SS payment.
I can not live here in Slovakia on my current SS alone.
I have to work as a tutor of English.
That 60 scenario includes winning in Mississippi, Minnesota and Alaska. Ain’t gonna happen. It’ll shake out to about 57.
Have you included North Carolina and Kentucky?
First of all I’m not “doing” anything Dave. I’m certainly not telling you not to bother to vote if that’s what you’re suggesting, just the opposite I urge you to browbeat everyone you know to vote straight Republican.
“2004 Polls showed Kerry ahead of Bush 52 to 44”
A poll in March 2004 Dave. Most Polls before the election showed Bush with a slight lead and he won 50.7 to 48.3.
I can’t find your Gore up 6 poll but it was either long before election or an outlier because polls at the end reflected it was a tossup race.
You seem to think all polls are invented by the media to confuse you, sorry but you’re wrong. Some are inaccurate of course but polling in general in reliable barometer of election results. It’s October, we’re running out of time for things to turn things our way.
Polls in 2006 showed a bunch of Republicans losing, I didn’t want to believe them, they were right.
If you are having trouble believing the idiot masses are anti-Republican right now try talking to some of your neighbors.
At one pint
Second all final POTUS polls in 2000 showed a tossup race and that’s what happened.
In 2004 they showed Bush slightly ahead and he won 50.7 to 48.3. So I don’t know what your talking about.
Conservagives need to get organized, not as Republicans, but as conservatives. The Republican regulars will never again let us take over the party.
Hello troll. We call them all kinds of things.
I usually just call them rats. Rodent is an artful way to say it. Vermin.
dummycraps, demonrats, never capitalized, your party doesn’t deserve capital letters.
Can someone please direct me to info on how the pings and taglines work? Thanks, sorry off topic.
I haven’t run the numbers on the House races. Don’t forget, the Foly and DeLay seats should be gains. There are two in PA that should be gains. No question we’ll lose some. But if McCain comes on strong (as he well may), a lot of these races may shift. And if the state congressional polling is as sloppy with the percentages as the presidential polling, then many of these are worthless.
We are headed for one-party rule, folks.
I haven’t run the numbers. We should have between four and six pickups; obviously some losses. A lot will depend on how the financial stuff plays out and how McCain does, although he will NOT have traditional “coattails” (since he’s running against Washington) but a McCain win may turnout a lot of Republicans in some districts.
The second the Fairness Doctrine passes is the trigger to start the revoultion.
Thank you. You’re a lot more informed than I am about House races. =]
