USA Today predicts Democrats will Still Control House by Healthy Margin
Useless Toady ^ | 30 August 2010 | Useless Toady

Posted on 08/30/2010 10:01:39 AM PDT by Vigilanteman

You'll have to click this link for the details as we are not even allowed to excerpt USA Today. But McPaper is predicting a worst case scenario for Democrats of a 31 seat majority, and then only if all Toss-Ups go Republican. If the toss-ups split evenly, then the Jackass Party will enjoy a 47 seat majority.

They are more optimistic than Joe Biden and just as smart.

USA Today must have inside info on the voter cheating the Dems have in place, otherwise there is no valid reason to think that.

It looks like the system for voter fraud is now in place.

Interestingly, I took a look at both the WAPO and USATODAY papers and there was nothing on the rally on their front pages. Seems the WAPO is concerned about Japanese little league, USATODAY similarly finds trivial news more pressing. I guess if they don’t report it, it never happened. They are so intellectual you know.

This is wonderful news for Democratic voters. They didn't really want to come out and vote anyway, and now that the D's have it in the bag, they don't have to.

And they are correct if we allow the exclusionists to continue their single issues to dominate. I know pro choice folks who are otherwise staunch conservatives but they are shunned. Same with Mormons, (they are NOT Christians so we can’t include them) and gays, (those queers, we can’t have them in the party. Sorry, but that type of BS makes me think Conservatives are often worse than progressives.

I bet I take a bunch of crap for these statements, possibly exclusion and certainly I will be told I can’t have my views since I am a “newby”!

It’s going to be hard to stop the fraud. Too many to shed light like the Alaska primary, people don’t get involved prior to the races and make sure their local voting is clean and it’s too late after.

If Dims don’t go out and vote, will the vote totals change? That is the real question here.

It’s not just you, FRiend. I’ve been saying on FR for over a year that the 2010 elections will not happen. If we hope to make it to 2012, there will be considerable hardship and fighting to get there. I pray for a peace, but I’m guessing that CWII is just a few short months away.

“I bet I take a bunch of crap. . .”

It just depends on what your definition of “conservatism” is.

You seem to be sitting on a two legged stool (small government and strong defense?) The third leg is social conservatism, which acknowledges that people have souls and evil destroys us; and that the nuclear family is the basic and irreplaceable building block of any people group. That’s wear opposition to child murder and sodomy promotion comes in.

There are certainly libertarians on FR, they will mostly agree with you. Although some libertarians acknowledge the personhood of unborn people and thus oppose abortion.

Good!!!!

When the economy tanks in 2011-2012( and it will), the democrat party will miss the good old days of the peaceful tea parties of 2009-2010.

This map is just not credible. They have the North Dakota house race as a toss-up and South Dakota as leans RAT.

RCP rates both lean GOP. I’ll stick with them over USA Today.

I'm no "newby", and I agree with your sentiments about 'single issuers' 100%. IMHO, it's the 'single issuers' (abortion) that led to Mike Huckabee becoming John McCain's stalking horse in 2008.

There were plenty of candidates in the field that were just as qualified to carry the pro-life banner, but the Huckster bled off the abortion single-issuers by being the only one in the field that actively championed the anti-abortion holy grail of the 'Human Life Amendment', which has absolutely no chance of ever passing.

For it to be a healthy margin, it would need to be about 175 Democrats and around 275 Republicans...

Let’s hope they’re right! ;^)

We saw the same thing in ‘94. Right around this time there was a calm in the storm for Dems. They started to have hope based on a few outlier polls. Normal people, that wanted their asses out, grew all the more determined. By election day, contrary polls were being searched for feverishly and touted by what was then the MSM. But nobody really doubted the outcome.

“Conservatives are often worse than progressives”

Then you don’t really know any “progressives.” And I’m not so sure you know any conservatives either.

From Labor Day forward Journolists will spam the papers and airwaves with “good news” for Democrats articles. It’s a ruse. Warfare disinformation. Don’t fall prey to it and get all worked up. They are thoroughly corrupt and we know it.

Gee, how many trunks will have how many “uncounted” ballots, and how many white voters will be clubbed by ACORN in the upcoming elections? Does USATODAY know about that too????

They do, after all, keep their yuppy audience in tow.

If this happens, the country will blow up and blood will run in the streets. There will be little to no doubt that yet more massive Rat voter fraud has occurred.

Then, with nothing to lose for the remaining real Americans, the gloves will finally come off.
