Looming Landslide For Demos?

[Spurminator]

I'm willing to bet most people find your generalization of the poor in this country as "slackers" scarier than my willingness to relax tax cuts on the top 5% wealthiest people in this country.

Some of the hardest working people in this country are some of the worst paid. And some of the laziest are the wealthiest. Don't try that tired "rich = hard working" canard, it only further shows how detatched from reality you are.

Impeach, impeach, impeach, impeach, impeach, impeach, impeach...

Oh, I can just see it now.


Impeach George W. Bush

[clambake]

Any leader that takes their country to war on a lie needs to end up in court much like Saddam. Republicans never address that. Is it because they are morally bankrupt?

Is it because they are in the Flag Draped Casket Manufacturing business?

Is it because there were no substantial targets to obliterate in Afghanistan?

Are we in Iraq because Bush got caught with his pants down on 9-11, leaving his giant, redneck, dumbass ego out to dry?

[Spurminator]

Do you guys want the Dems to win or not?

[Extra Stout]

If people are stupid enough to vote in the Democrats as the majority party, then God help us all! However, it won't take long for those stupid people to realize that the Democrats aren't the answer. They'll be pissing and moaning when their taxes go up and en lement programs hit high gear. But, they will deserve whatever happens because they were too stupid to understand what is really going on!

Are there any higher gears left for en lement programs?

I agree that the Democrats probably aren't the answer. A different form of representative democracy probably is the answer.

Impeach, impeach, impeach, impeach, impeach, impeach, impeach...

Oh, I can just see it now.

Not interested in running the country, I see, just settling scores.

[Yonivore]

I doubt it will be a landslide, but their non-plan for the future looks about as attractive to the average voter as any Republican plan, which is hilarious and sad all at once.

So, it comes down to voter turnout once again.

[DarkReign]

CD said it best...

Whats more fear-inspiring?

a. Republicans continuing with status quo?
b. Democrats winning on nothing more than "I dont know what I am going to do, but I know what I am not going to do!"

This country = teh suk

"Not interested in running the country, I see, just settling scores."

Repugs are:

Absolutely not interested in running the country, I see, just settling enriching/protecting the super-rich and corps.

And the Repugs were absolutely interested in Clinton also not running the country by witch-hunting him for all his 8 years in office.

[Nbadan]

So, it comes down to voter turnout once again.

I hope the GOP is relying on wedge issues to drive the religious base to the polls again.

So between the two parties we have to choose to run the country, neither is interested in running the country.

Our future is so bright.

It will have to be security issues. Mark Foley and the attendant cover-up killed the social-wedge-issue advantage.

All the GOP has to do is tell Americans the Democrat's platform.

1) Impeachment proceedings will begin on the first day of the new Congress;

2) American military efforts in Iraq and possibly Afghanistan will be defunded on the first day of the new Congress;

3) Taxes will be raised on the first day of the new Congress;

4) "We-will-be-willing-to-pay-any-price-to-appease-Iran,-North-Korea,-and-al-Qaeda-if-they-will-just-stop-trying-to-hurt-us" legislation will be introduced by every senior Democrat on their side of the aisle beginning on day one of the new Congress;

I'm sure I've missed a few planks of their platform but these are the four biggies.

[clambake]

Right now we just need change. Any change.

Gorbochev, today, said that because of our actions, the power of our policies have diminished.

Gorbochev also said that we have to learn to accept a diminished role on the world stage.

The only reason he makes sense is because we can't be trusted.

Nothing Yoni says in here changes what is going to happen. Oh, happy day.

[Yonivore]

You're absolutely right. However, I do wonder why you're so happy about the House and Senate remaining in Republican hands.

[clambake]

Yoni may be right. He is an accomplice to doom.

[Guru of Nothing]

So between the two parties we have to choose to run the country, neither is interested in running the country.

Even poor white people are wearing shades!

[MannyIsGod]

You're absolutely right. However, I do wonder why you're so happy about the House and Senate remaining in Republican hands.

Oh man, what do you want to wager that the house switches sides? I do feel the Senate will stay within the GOP control, but lets put a wager on the house.

Talk about jinxing the home team. Republicans still have the power of in bancy, whatever that's good for, only during the great 90's power shift did so many seats change sides so quickly.

[Ocotillo]

All the GOP has to do is tell Americans the Democrat's platform.

1) Impeachment proceedings will begin on the first day of the new Congress;

No this won't happen. There will be many investigations and the administration will be held accoutable to the Congress, something that has not happened since January 2001.

2) American military efforts in Iraq and possibly Afghanistan will be defunded on the first day of the new Congress;

Nope. Democrats don't believe in shafting the military. They actually believe in funding them with benefits and body armour. Pressure will mount to withdraw from Iraq and redeployment may be made to Afghanistan where the situation actually maybe salvagable.

3) Taxes will be raised on the first day of the new Congress;

So are you saying Bush will sign it in to law? No matter how big the Dems do in November no one is expecting them to get a veto proof Congress.

4) "We-will-be-willing-to-pay-any-price-to-appease-Iran,-North-Korea,-and-al-Qaeda-if-they-will-just-stop-trying-to-hurt-us" legislation will be introduced by every senior Democrat on their side of the aisle beginning on day one of the new Congress;

Diplomacy = appease in Yoni's mind. I guess military action is your only option. How's that working for ya?

The Firewall Strategy...GOP already conceding House.

Republicans keep the House and you take your sorry ass out of here, forever. Democrats take the House and you take your sorry ass out of here, forever.

There. How's that?

Oh, if only your poo-flingin' self had the balls to take any part of that bet.

But alas, you have none.

I'll take both sides of the bet. Either way, Manny's gone. If for not other reason that for attempting to wager with an anonymous poster on a silly forum.
