All of the above. Alllllllllllllll of the above.
Iraq?
Katrina?
Multiple high-profile scandals?
Weak candidates?
Vast left-wing conspiracy?
?
Your thoughts, please. I'm still fascinated that the Democrats gained so much merely running on the "We aren't Republicans" platform.
All of the above. Alllllllllllllll of the above.
The bottom line? If you can't do right, you won't stay in power.
Karl Rove's liquid diet made him light headed and he ed up the polling data.
Thats such a great freaking picture.
Turns out it was Abramahoff.
Classic photoshop. Hope you don't mind if I borrow it for a few days.
go for it, it's a SpursTalk>Political Forum specific pic anyway.Classic photoshop. Hope you don't mind if I borrow it for a few days.
Congratulations are in order to the Dems who ran a skillful campaign that kept the focus on the GOP's scandals and away from the left's agenda.
The GOP couldn't recover from Foley's repulsive conduct,and the stupidity of Katrina, and the enemy was willing to kill randomly in the run-up to the vote in order to demoralize an American public.
With our continued open boarders it won't be long, till the democrats have another
12 million votes, along with a few AQ cells.
But the war isn't lost, and won't be on this Administration's watch. But the prospect of a Leahy chairmanship of Judiciary and Biden back with the gavel at Foreign Relations is wearying. Hope Montana comes in strong, if not Thank You Joe Liberman,in advance, You may be the only hope America has.
Iraq.
That's whats the polls say in the races that matter.
Rack that sig!!
"Most critically, perhaps, Republicans lost the political center on the Iraq war, according to national exit polls. Voters who identified themselves as independents broke strongly for the Democrats, the exit polls showed, as did those who described themselves as moderates."
"Nearly 4 in 10 voters said they saw their ballot as a vote against Mr. Bush, about twice as many as those who said they had cast their ballots for him. It was a remarkable turnaround for a president who just two years ago emerged triumphant from his re-election campaign, declaring that he had earned political capital and intended to spend it."

Because we can't possibly lose Iraq (but dubya can and won't care in his "what? me worry?" stupidity), there should be a military conscription but only of kids whose parents voted Repug yesterday, and only of families of Repugs in the Senate and House.

That's right, teh gays, teh immigrants, teh little stem cells, the mullet havin pro choice es, shoulda ran on that platform in 04Your thoughts, please. I'm still fascinated that the Democrats gained so much merely running on the "We aren't Republicans" platform.
they said on cbs last night the first midterm with clinton his party lost 54 seats
"We aren't Republicans"
Demonstrates clearly how disastrous and repugnant in being a) Repug or b) dubya/ head has become for a majority of Americans.
Boutons, I'll take that deal. In return, can only Democrats pay higher taxes?Because we can't possibly lose Iraq (but dubya can and won't care in his "what? me worry?" stupidity), there should be a military conscription but only of kids whose parents voted Repug yesterday, and only of families of Repugs in the Senate and House.
Yeah, I remember. It was a disaster for the Democrats, very similar to the one experienced last night by the Republicans.
As a moderate I agree with both proposals, motion carries.
"Overall, 59 percent of voters surveyed in a news media consortium series of exit polls yesterday expressed dissatisfaction or anger with the Bush administration; 36 percent said they cast their vote to express opposition to Bush, compared with 22 percent who were voting to support him. Fifty-six percent of voters support withdrawing some or all U.S. troops from Iraq, which will embolden Democrats pushing for a pullout.
Corruption proved to be a more potent issue than it had appeared even weeks ago. After 12 years in control, the Republicans who took power with Gingrich promising to sweep out a calcified and ethically bankrupt Democratic leadership found themselves perceived as becoming what they had tried to expunge. Exit polls found 41 percent of voters rated corruption "extremely important" to their decision."

The Repugs went wrong in so many places, that even the sheeple couldn't stand the Repug bull anymore. "The Permanent Repug Majority" and "The Repugs as America's Party" were just Repug bull .
Where and on what exactly did dubya spend his capital he said he had after the 2004 election?
Is your proposition for the entire military or only the military in Iraq Boutons?
Does it really matter why the Republicans lost. The question now becomes
what will the dimm-o-craps do with their new found power? Are they going
to govern or get revenge? Are they going to support the troops or leave
them out to hang? I suspect the later. Everyone needs to remember something.
The speaker is going to be an avowed socialist from SF, Calif. Many of the
chairmanships are going to militant minorities with an agenda. We can only hope
they will try to do what is right for the country and security of the country. But
I have my doubts. But never-the-less, you won and we lost. If they do a good
job I will be with them. If they do as I suspect I will just have to put up with it
and hope and wait for the next election.
We do know now that: There are no more homeless. No more poverty. All the
children will have health insurance and everyone will live happily ever after. Cause
the dimm-o-craps are in control of the House and I suspect the Senate before
it is all over. Oh, and new housing for everyone. New taxes and no more
deficit.
...and the very next day, nothing but headlines: "Voters throw a fit"; and things of that nature. I guess our "fit" has ended, and we've finally seen the light.
I'm betting we start seeing more reports on the economy and its health here in the next couple of weeks.
"can only Democrats pay higher taxes"
We anti-Repugs didn't order the Iraq war, so why should we pay for it?
The Repugs started this $2T boondoggle in the Iraq that accomplishes nothing for the USA. Why should anybody else but the Repugs pay for it?
Repugs started it, so only Repugs die/get maimed in it, and only Repugs pay for it.
boutons, what have you been drinking all night, your post doesn't make sense.
Too much celebrating?
