Armitage tips Democrats to regain House (Apologize To Rove You Worthless Skunk!)

A senior former White House official today predicted that the Republicans would suffer heavy losses in the midterm elections, despite polls showing a cut in the Democratic party's lead.

The former US deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage - a Republican who opposed the Iraq war - said his party would pay the price for presenting an "angry face" to the world after the September 11 attacks.

"We were showing a very snarly and angry face," Mr Armitage said. "I think it's understandable to a certain degree.

But we're well past that now, and it's time to turn another face to the world, back to more traditional things such as the export of hope and opportunity." Although the latest polls ahead of tomorrow's vote show the Republicans gaining on the Democrats, Mr Armitage predicted that the Democrats would retake the House of Representatives with a majority of between 20 and 25 seats.

Too bad the world doesn't get to vote in our elections.

Unfortunately, much to the glee of many Democrats, aliens do vote illegally in our elections. This problem will only get worse unless stricter voter ID requirements are implemented and enforced.

News Flash!! Armitage confirms that he is a weasel Democrat!!

As many of us suspected all along, judging from his behavior and his complicity in allowing Pflamegate to go forward for so long, Armitage actually favors the Demagogues and is essentially indistinguishable from Jon Carry and friends on foreign policy.

Just look, here he is overseas, just before our national elections, advocating the Demagogues' point of view. UNREAL.

Richard Armitage - a Republican who opposed the Iraq war. First of all he is NOT a Republican. He is an anti-American covert leftw-ing fascist pig Democrat. He has caused many, many Americans to lose their lives because of this work at the anti-American State Department. Put him in jail with all the other TRAITORS. Oops sorry Democrats do not go to jail.
