1 Let's not start sucking each other's.... ahhh, who am I kiddin'? Blow me!

2 MOrons:  get registered to vote in Washington, Wisconsin, and California, each of which has engaged in vigorous fraud in recent elections.  Fight fraud with fraud. 

3 I think this would be a good time to start sucking each other's dicks!

Another party at the White House tonight!!!

Thanks for paying for it, suckas!!!

No post about me? Gotta call my pub ....

Good Lord I can't even wrap my head around this.

I just want to see [insert Republican here] shove that oversized gavel up Nan's keister.

I ask for so very little.

7 I think we will take the House by a good margin.  I just don't see how we can take the Senate though. The odds are just not in our favor for that. Especially when the RINO leadership is doing everything they can do to advance the causes of the "Mavericks" in the races and stabbing the base in the eyes again. 

8 This must be quite a surprise to those who get their news from the State Media.

The Democrats "saved the country" by paying off their partisans and the voters are about to reward them by throwing them out and rewarding the people the State Media blame for the economic collapse.

9 I'd maybe buy this argument if we didn't have ACORN (or whatever it calls itself now), the Department of Justice for Some and millions of illegal-alien, dead and convicted-felon voters hard at work to keep Osama Obama and his fellow-travelers in power.

The current regime cares only about increasing its power over the American people. By any means necessary.

Political junkies are stuck in their own dream-world where everyone plays by the rules. Not only does that devalue their predictions and assessments, it makes them useful fodder for rabid howler monkeys like Biden.

10 I'd believe the race-baiting was weaker if they didn't just kick the guy out of the Tea Party organization because he called the NAACP racist.

Yet another reason I don't support the Tea Party.

11 More likely is that we get a filibuster-stable minority of conservative-ishes... maybe 56 Republicans, so that when the Gangs of X start popping up, we have a cushion to stop the damn garbage the Democrats want.

13 More likely is that we get a filibuster-stable minority of conservative-ishes... maybe 56 Republicans, so that when the Gangs of X start popping up, we have a cushion to stop the damn garbage the Democrats want.

14 I'm all about getting rid of social security for my generation. We won't have enough in the fund to write a check to us anyway.. so just kill it now, take the kick in the nuts and hope for a better future for our kids. 

15 More likely is that we get a filibuster-stable minority of conservative-ishes... maybe 46 Republicans, so that when the Gangs of X start popping up, we have a cushion to stop the damn garbage the Democrats want.

16 yeah, ignore 14 and read 16 please

17 Bravo Foxtrot Delta.  So we replace a bunch of big-government socialist Democrats with some not-so-bog not-as-socialist Republicans.   We simply postpone the inevitable.

18 A republican congress? Not going to get all schmoozie about that prospect when there are too many Trent Lott dems-in-disguise and assorted ball-less wonders.

Don't like the speculating.

19

"The claims that Republicans are going to steal Social Security from seniors."

How about counting with "We can't steal what the Democrats already stole."

20 I don't see Feingold and Reid losing their races. That makes it a 50-50 senate, with the knuckle-dragging, bugger-eating moron as the tiebreaker. And...that is assuming that the Republicans take all of the other close races.

It's a nice dream, and I'll throw some money to the best shots at dethroning the dems, but I'm not holding my breath.

21 counting=countering

22 I'd maybe buy this argument if we didn't have ACORN (or whatever it calls itself now), the Department of Justice for Some and millions of illegal-alien, dead and convicted-felon voters hard at work to keep Osama Obama and his fellow-travelers in power.

If the Democrats try this, things might get ugly fast.

The Democrats won in 2006/8 by claiming to be economic conservatives and social moderates. They've been leftwing extremists though, and at least since 2008 the voters have noticed.

If people vote for cutting the budget, AGAIN, in 2010, and somehow the Dems get 51% of the vote with serious charges of wide spread voting irregularities I think all they'll have done is convinced tea parties types that peaceful change is impossible...

23 Yea, the racism shit is very old and busted, and even the seniors are starting to wake up to what Ogabe has done to Social Security and Medicare, and their tax rates.

I know a lot of retired seniors, and I think the past two years has done a LOT to harden them against traditional democrat scare tactics.

24 Once again, the "squish factor" will probably determine the outcome. Gawd, I hate pinning my hopes on a bunch of human dishrags who pretty much stand for nothing.

25

YAY, then when the republicans get enough seats they can cut deal with obama to get more goodies.

 

26 It's do or die.  Republicans must win both the House and Senate or our country will forever be changed for the worse.  This jugeard manchurian president must be put in check.  Vote in November, as often as you can......

27 Truman North, I was wondering whether you think us getting a filibuster-stable minority is more likely.

28

Democrats now control the Senate 59-41...

...the fuck? Who wrote this?

29 Posted by: Truman North at July 19, 2010 11:13 AM (HLGCA)

You had it right the first time. It takes that many to offset the RINOs who will, cross the aisle.

30 I'm hoping the Dems are still deluded enough to think they're making pick-ups this year because the local rag is trying hard to push the "David Vitter is vulnerable!" meme and I'd love to see the Dems throw money down the toilet like they did in challenging Lincoln in Arkansas.

Vitter's constantly polling at 50% or better, with his worst showings being in Dem-commissioned PPP polls... where he still beats Charlie Melancon by about 10 points.  Every other poll puts him up between 12 and 20% and Melancon's not exactly an unknown who will get higher numbers when people learn more about him, as he's gotten a lot of press this year as a leader of the Blue Dogs.

Was thinking something along the same lines.  Remember that if the vote isn't close, they can't cheat.  ACORN-like trickery only works in tight races.

The end-game though is amnesty.  If the Dems are able to get 10-12 million untill-recently-illegal-immigrant voters en masse for the next election cycle, the gig's up.

In the end, though, there will be only chaos.

In a sense, I agree. Things got ugly damn fast in 2008, when Osama Obama rode the coattails of ACORN, the Black Panthers and millions of ineligible voters to victory.

The system works. The "system" of fraud, lies and intimidation, that is.

The squishes who currently dominate the Repub party share some guilt, as none had the Dangling Courage Units to go after the blatant illegalities employed in the election.

It isn't enough to decry the shameful methods employed by the Traitor-in-Chief and his party to gain and hold power. Action -- starting with the enforcement of existing election laws regardless of race or party affiliation -- is necessary.

You'd think we would have learned that by now. But as long as the Repub ranks are filled with McConnels, Browns, Snowes, etc., we will continue to lose.

Hey Purple Avenger ,

    I think the best thing that can be done for "the seniors" is to nuke the AARP from orbit. They are no help and a propaganda machine. I get their crap in the mail all the time and it goes straight to the trash can.

34 Getting rid of a squish like Voinovich will be one less dipshit RINO to worry about.

35 I think it an happen.
Just got my son registered to vote for the 1st time. Told him he votes a straight R or he finds another place to live. ahha

36

I cannot wait to watch CNN on the night of November elections.

CRY, PAUL BEGALA!  CRY!

37

Plan 9 from Texas-

March on Washington, Tar and Feather all federals found, raze D.C. and relocate capital to Wasilla, Alaska, go home.

 

38 @32, of course they can cheat if the vote isn't close. They simply lie about the totals. Boom! Dem victory, regardless of the vote totals. There's really no point to even counting; the outcome is whatever any Democrat precinct chair or Democrat secretary of state says. (And, for that matter, I don't trust the GOP primary counts either. Cf. John McCain, 2008.)

Unless you believe that elections in, like, the USSR were totally fair and above board.

39 "I still expect Democrats to start with the usual tricks in September and October" But first I will blow you?

"Just got my son registered to vote for the 1st time. Told him he votes a straight R or he finds another place to live. ahha"

ZOMG VOTER INTIMIDATIONZ!!!11!

41

I remember Rush Limbaugh waxing poetic about how it would be if we could only have a Republican president and some majorities in Congress. Oh what we could do to set this country back on an even keel and back to it's origins. And business will flourish and taxes will be lowered and, and , and.... Well we had that while GW was in the White House didn't we. What happened? I'm too old for that crap, I've heard that tune one too many times before.

Can I subscribe to your newsletter. Oh, and hugs!

Speaking of razing DC (WCH), the article in WaPo about the intelligence apparatus that permeates the city was worth the read.  With all that capacity, turf battles, and unaccountability, one wonders how long (if it already hasn't happened) before that capability will be turned on us. 

44 Ella - been a while since I've been to your blog.  Did you ever move to TX?

Hey Big Fat,

      The pay, benefits and pensions for the gargantuan bureaucracy in Washington will probably do us in before anything else. It's killing this country between rules and costs. The bureaucracy grows to meet the needs of the growing bureaucracy.

47 "I just want to see [insert Republican here] shove that oversized gavel up Nan's keister."
Why wait for November?  For a small cover charge and a 2 drink minimum, you can already see the item of your choice  shoved up up Nan's keister at Daddy's Levi and Leather bar on Castro street.  They have two shows nightly!

48 "I think there is definitely a chance" of losing the Senate, said Democratic strategist Gary Nordlinger, a Washington-based media consultant. "I wouldn't call it a probability, but there is certainly a chance."

Since when are probability and chance two different things?  (I know, I'm just nitpicking)

49 Now all we need is a freaking plan.  Seriously, we win it back and what? Wallow in self-congrats and do nothing or continue with the Obamadamnation plan?   A plan; a war plan, a governing plan, a redo on healthcare that americans don't want? 

50 "the feminist dog whistle" -- scariest freakin movie idea ever. you thought zombies were bad, but hell, they only wanted your brains...

51 Unfortunately, Reid will probably survive in NV, thanks to those "true conservative" geniuses who decided that we needed to nominate a candidate to the right of Jim DeMint in a state that went for Obama by 12 points.  Lowden and Tark were were no RINOs, and either would have beaten Reid easily, whereas Angle can't go a week without saying something bordering on Joe Barton-level tone deafness. 

52 I think you are worried about nothing. Reid will lose.

53

Jon - the real question for what will happen in NV is this - who has more enthusiastic support?

It is very similar to how Obama got elected.  He had a very enthusiastic base of support.  People who were DEFINITELY gonna get out there and vote for him.  By contrast, those of us that voted for McCain did so more out of objection to Obama, or support moreso for Palin.

How many people are enthusiastic for Reid?  I would argue that the majority of people who will vote for him in November would be voting for him regardless of his opposition.  If you're so dulled mentally that you're voting for Reid, then there's little that can be done to reach you.

So Angle needs to reach out to "everyone else."  How many people does Angle have that are enthusiastic about her campaign?  How many people are gonna do whatever it takes to get out and vote for her on election day, and bring a friend?  Ain't nobody going to vote for Reid that's gonna bring a friend...

54 Party like it's 1994? No thanks! It's not going to matter if we take Congress, if what we get is "compassionate conservatism." It would be better if the GOP lost a few seats due to 3rd party interference, if it means that they take limited government seriously.

55 Wait.  Where's Sen. Schumer in the RCP list? 

56 plenty of good made to be made/lost on Intrade.com for the people willing to bet/lose money on the GOP taking the Senate Intrade now gives Harry Reid a 60% chance of winning. At one time befor the Tea Party came in he was given only a 25% chance of winning.

57

Funny, I predicted this quite some time ago myself, that republicans would retake both the house and the senate.

Then that damn Dick Morris stole my schtick.  Curse you Dick.. curse you..

Lol

 

58

don't need to win the Senate, just take 4 seats to ensure a filibuster ...

 

59 That map at RealClearPolitics does not show West Virginia. There is some talk that that race may be in play this fall, especially if the Republicans can make hay about Manchin's(sp?) shenanigans in appointing crony as a placeholder pending his own run.

60

Don't go giving Feingold a free pass here. This state has almost been destroyed by one party rule. We have an open governor's race since Doyle is trying to get out of town before the tar gets warm and the chickens are plucked. The pub has a very good chance of getting the seat and much of the electorate is totally p*ssed at the higher taxes and job losses over the last two years.

This election must be seen in its own context. Our country has never been in a position of high unemployment, sky-rocketing debt, anger at government, etc. as we see now. It is like all the bad stars are in alignment not seen in our lifetimes. And remember, 52% of America did not vote for Prezzidunt Chicksh*t. 52% of the people who bothered to show up on election day did. That was a little more than half the electorate. We won't win by changing a lot of minds. We win by more of us showing up and more of them staying home.

I don't care what Sharon Angle thinks of floridation, I care about bitch-slapping Reid all the way back to Searchlight. The primary is over and we go from here. If Lowden and Tarkanian don't get in line and help but would rather whine and undercut, then I guess it was just about them to begin with and not about Country. I don't remember Reagan whining about losing to Ford in '76, just manning up and going forward for Country and Party.

They have tried this many times in the past and they have never been held to account. Don't fool yourself, they will get off scot-free, because they control everything and the Republicans are too cowardly to do anything.

62 The Democrates  will screw up for themselves. All the Repubilcans have to do is wait...  catch it on video or tape... If the Democrates are smart They will keep the President on Vacation...Its the only time he does not screw up..

63 sock off

64 What's the inevitable shoes for a woman, unquestionable, it is manolo blahnik shoes.Manolo blahnik designed many styles of shoes like manolo blahnik pumps, manolo blahnik sandals, manolo blahnik boots.In last few years,manolo blahnik shoes are well known by every people from all over the world,Especially after the film SATC being broadcast, many fashion girls rushed to buy the manolo blahnik something blue pumps,even some famous actors and singers also became the crazy fans of manolo shoes.

65 Nice sharing..

66 I need to state that I haven't read something so interesting in a while. There are alot of motivating views and opinions. I think that you certainly discovered an significant fact.

67 I was reading something similar on another website that i was researching. I will be sure to look around more.

68 I always want to have good adventure everyday. thanks for sharing you've got here.
