Good strategy.

2 Heh, here is the Bachmann ad I saw earlier today.

I'm so glad the Demotards are spending/wasting boatloads of time and money against her.

Gabe - your are right on. 

The VAT is an isidious form of tax that portends to be everything in theory but in reality cripples economies with new bureaucracies and new rules on top of old bureaucracies and old rules.

Which brings me to a slightly parallel topic. Do you think the Dems will concede defeat that night or do you think they'll go into batshit overdrive and demand recount after lawsuit after recount?

They're piss poor lack of any substantial October Surprise make me think that they've resigned themselves to defeat.

My theory on that is Prog assholes masquerading as Tea Partiers disrupting polling areas in urban centers. All that racial shit they claim, and what not.

Hell yeah.  In big bold font preferably.

RIP June Cleaver.  Ole Ward took his dirtnap in the early 70s if I remember right.

Good ad.  I'm always filled with a special sort of joy when fake moderate, used car salesman like Dims go down.  Ike Skelton and Heath Shuler come to mind.  Not to mention Spratt here in SC.

12 Additionally, the moonbats are more likely to be the ones buying the crazy polls. On our side, we might not make 100 or whatever. But there still seem to be people espousing the 'it won't be bad much' point of view. They're going to be "*&(*&(* Diebold!" and "Stolen!" etc.

Democrats are getting killed, so the new startegy is to seek out a few high profile targets and hope you get them so you have a trinket to hold up. Bachmann, O'Donnell and Rand Paul seems to be the targets. I guess the hope is if that they can knock off a few "tea party" types the remaining Republicans will be cowered into being more compliant. Sadly for the Democrats, the GOP extinction list from primaries (Bennett, Murkowski, Castle) is probably larger.

Posted by: Mallamutt at October 16, 2010 05:07 PM (OWjjx)

--Yeah, they are clearly trying to take out those three, just to discredit the Tea Party movement.  November 3 if even just one of them loses the Demotards will act like the football team that was not invited to a BCS bowl game crowing about blowing out UTEP in the Papa John's Bowl.

Just knowing how barking at the moon insane some of the brain-dead commenters at that Youtube video will be on Nov. 3 brings a tear to my eye.

Oh, I don't think it will work, I'm just trying to gauge the left's level of desperation and what they'll try.

Which is probably a complete waste of time. I should be paying attention to the pregame for the Bucks v. Badgers matchup.

16 On a related topic, the chick on the skinit.com commercials is very taxable.

Posted by: USS Diversity at October 16, 2010 01:30 PM (u3Zi5)

I Want the Fair Tax. Absolutely and without question. Eliminate all other taxes. 23% tax on new goods. Pay taxes when building or buying a new home but not when purchasing a used home. Pay taxes on new goods. Everyone gets a monthly rebate to cover base taxes so the poor aren't harmed. Strangely people with a lot of money cannot enjoy it without spending it. And spend they do. This also takes away a lot of power from politicians. No more taxing stuff to modify behaviours. No tax on soda.

Investors and money would fly here and businesses would not be able to find enough workers.

Just the thing. But we should wait until after the election to go over it bacause most people misrepresent what the fair tax is. Don't let them lie to you. Read the books.

18 If there's any justice, Shuler gets canned. He personified the lying sack of crap Blue Dog that would blather about how moderate they were. Yeah, on meaningless resolutions and bills- the real big stuff, he was in lockstep with Nancy.

So, is Heath about to get sacked. I kinda figured that God was gonna give him the good luck as a politican he never had as an NFL quarterback just to balance out the books.

I believe RCP has it as a toss up.  Pretty tight race.  I recall seeing a poll a few months ago.  Haven't seen anything since. 

I'd like to see him have a shorter stint in Congress than the NFL.

What constitutes a "toss-up?"

Is it within the margin of error or something similar or is it a proprietary formula-type thing?

Could it be that T. Coddington Van Voorhees VII's best friend is a spy behind enemy lines?  Heh.

Perish the thought.

No doubt.  I have a hard time believing he can survive in a true wave election.  I don't think the "moderate" all American ex football player image can survive it.

I just checked out RCP.  The only poll is one from July showing Shuler up 45/44.  Survey USA.

CAC probably knows off the top of his head, but I'm guessing NC 11 is a plus 3 or 4 GOP district, I could be off though.

27 The first time Heath Shuler went to work in Washington, it was a disaster.  Fumbles.  Sacks.  A losing record.  Benched for a free agent.  Finally, traded to New Orleans for peanuts after three years of poor service.

It's time for another trade . . .

Yes, that is true. Sadly these are two charectors who played good wholesome people and who were like that in real life. Hugh Beamont was some kind of a minister in CA who helped youths. And Billingsly WAS a mom to all on the show.

Too bad neither Hollywood not TV is the way it was in 1957 when that show first aired.

Remember that phenomenon? Someone, in the early 1980's I believe, had the brilliant idea to add bits of candy bars to ice cream.

And OREOS.

Friggin genius, S/he deserves a Nobel Prize for it.

When I was a kid I liked peppermint stick ice cream.  Then Oreo ice cream came out and it was like the coolest thing since Pac Man.

Then Snickers ice cream, and so on.

I grew up in interesting times, I did.

44 Imagine my surprise to see my name here at the HQ! It's like a double dip of awesome as it makes Chet look like the lying, bullshit artist he is to a wider public than my front porch AND I can call my daughter, the political science major at A&M, and tell her that the site that brought us Stuff Jefferson Said, 4th Edition, (Rev'd), were combined in this excellent moment to put the finishing touches on the death sentence to Chet's political career. And I had SO hoped to use the hose on him at the last parade.  Pity.  Those secret service dudes are so persnickety.

Now that Chet is officially gone, I can try to determine the right response to the gigantic pink dildo my very special nephew and said daughter ordered and sent to my youngest son today via special delivery in youngest son's name as part of the jokefest that was apparently last weekend.  Soldiers on leave. Go figure. 

My daughter-in-law suggests we don't tell a soul we actually received it, wrap it, and put it under the Christmas tree this year from nephew to his mother.  Moron thoughts? I SO want to get this right!!

nah, put it in the turkey before you start dressing it, and pull it out like you would the neck and gizzards.  Make an appropriate exclamation about the size of this turkey's neck, holy moly!

Unless it has nuts.  Then you're on your own.

46 Awesome, awesome.  I spent the day making calls in this district today.  My evidence is anecdotal but I would say Chet Edwards is about to be swept out with the tide.  People are pissed and don't care that he tried to cover his ass by not voting for Obamacare.

48 Unfortunately? Balls and some random, latex G-spot tickler which would never look like a turkey neck not on the roids, so I'm still going with the Christmas present for now.  His Momma will be so proud!! How fortunate for us we got the entire package!!  Suggestions welcome, but I don't think I can pull this thing out of a turkey.  It's a pity!
