3 sock off

4 O/T:  Rush just played Chuckie Shumer as regards the Supremes recent decision.  Chuckie could barely hide his anger.  He was furious.  Ace you have to put up that clip.

If the Democrats drop health care "reform" corruption, as they should, we must not let them off the hook.
The Republicans need to beat the democrats over the head with what they tried to do to this nation.

WE WILL NOT FORGET.

My sac is a shriveled prune. I really need to work on the whole room temperature thing. Then again...It's so cooool. It's like a York Peppermint Patty for my boys.

7 The dominoes are falling.

8 I think health care might continue to be an issue.  Obama's not going to drop it -- he's already staked his presidency on it.  And people are going to remember the porkulus, etc.

Maybe I'm just being hopeful.  Because while 41 is good, 51 would be even better.

9 Speaking of Hitler:

Check out his Reaction to Brown winning MA!

Hilarious!

Consider the irony here:

Obama is called black but he is really brown

Brown is white but called Brown.

If Brown's name where White and the story was "The Whiting of America", you would have a racial controversy on your hands.

12 The Browning of America....


Raaaaaacccciiissssst!

Politics as seen through the post Brown eyes.

14 Here's an idea: let's quit electing people from prominent political families.

15 I think Snerdly made a good point. If healthcare is completely off the table in the next 2 months, there might not be the same anti obama intensity out there come november. Sure people will still be mad at dems, but not in the same way that carried Brown into office.

16 So, is Rass going to do Boxer as well? I would love to see her in margins with any of the Republicans right now.

17 What is it Insty calls this?  The preference cascade?

I think some people are waking up to see that others feel the same way about hopenchange that they do.  They wouldn't get that idea from the media, that's for sure.

18 Carnahan is a dirty whore.

19 If healthcare is completely off the table in the next 2 months, there might not be the same anti obama intensity out there come november. Sure people will still be mad at dems, but not in the same way that carried Brown into office.

I think the urgency is gone, but unemployment is not going to go down to any reasonable level and the Dems will push something dumb.  They're also not unified.  That's important.  The Congressional Dems are not going to indulge Obama anymore and it's every lib for himself.

20 Didn't Hitler botch the Brown/Coakley polls at the end?

21

15

Well that is why they wanted it done in August. Get it off the table quick so then people aren't as mad. This issue was never going to stick around until November. The point is they lost and in doing so they have now not only handed people that dislike this crap a huge victory, but the hippy tears are so sweet they taste like Ambrosia straight from Mount Olympus.

Conservative enthusiasm+Liberal dissatisfaction=Land-f-king-slide

22 20 Didn't Hitler botch the Brown/Coakley polls at the end?

I think he stopped polling too early.

23 Here's an idea: let's quit electing people from prominent political families.

Amen, and that's why Blunt's going to have a very difficult time with this race.  He's not going to garner much of the "anti-incumbent" vote, after his prior stint as Representative/Majority Whip. 

24

15

Think about Dems election strategy now in Red districts. "Yeah I am a Democrat but I really dislike Obama and his policies."

Yeah good luck turning out the base on that.

25 I remeber in Nov 2008 when Obama was elected Glorial Steinem and all the big libbies were celebrating. Gloria sent on the Tv news and said that she felt the "future" was finally here.

Bitch, ever hard don't count your chickens before they are hatched?

One year later, where is her "future", In one year the messiah of hope has managed to turn the voters against his party that made major gains in the election. Rush is correct Obama is ruining his entire party with no small help from the dems in congress.

Lets Ponder this for a second, the DEMS lost a governor ship in Virgina and New Jersey, then ted Kennedy's seat. Even if the dems still held that seat by a slim margin it still would be a bad sign. NJ and MASS are supposed to en their HOME TERRITORY, a safe zone. They managed to LOSE IT. It means they are vulnerable EVERYWHERE even in the bluest of places. A year ago people were calling the GOP dead and out of power.

DEMS really screwed up bad for this to happen, they made big gains then managed to shoot themselves in the foot. This shows compared tot eh GOP the DEMS are just incapable of leading period. This has nothing to do with their ideology, They have the WH, had  a supermajoirty  Congress and still cannot get anything done.

There is one cause for all of this Obama. The DEMs and his most ardent supporters are starting to come down to reality, they nominated a bum candidate or a candidate who was not ready for office. Now the party is paying the price.
Do you think all those wide eyed 18-20 year old supporters will be there for him in 2012 when they are out of college and cannot find work?

Expect to see the DEMS gets smeared in NOV, and if Obama loses by  landslide expect major LULZ charlie foxtrot int the media, the DNC, OPRAH and all the leftist groups.

I'll have to ask Gloria Steinem, where is you future now? Bitch!

 

26

Here's an idea: let's quit electing people from prominent political families.

Yeah. I am getting tired of Bushes, Clintons, Kennedys, etc.

However, I do think the Republican party and people who tend to vote that way, should start thinking about who will run in 2012. Nothing in stone, but have it in the back of their minds.

2012 could be a lot like 1980.  Clinton could run against Obama in the primaries in 2011, like Ted Kennedy against Carter.  Economic, political and foreign policy factors could bein play too. In 1980 you have 10%+ unemployment, stagflation, and a general view that the president was seen as weak in the middle east. Well we have the unemployment, Obama was seen as weak on foreign policy in Massachusetts, and I am willing to bet that inflation or stagnation hit America in 2011 due to the unsustainable deficits and spending.

 

That said. Paul Ryan 2012.

27
Sure,  Carnahan tried to fuck me over but if she really,  and I mean really,  promises to not do that again - she's got my vote.

28 Dip my ball in fondue?  Can do!

29 Ih health care is off the table I garuntee that Obama will be the gift that keeps on giving. one of his foriegn policy time bombs is due to go off within the next few months.

30
7 The dominoes are falling.

Shit,  dude!  I thought you spilled the Doritos®.  Be cool.

31 What does it say about Obama that he can't get anything done without a Congressional supermajority?

Not exactly a long time ago, 59-41 was still considered a massive Senate majority.

32 The statists need to take a lesson from their savior and start apologizing because at this point, that may be the only thing that will save them - the sympathy vote.

33 This is based partly on the health care issue, which may not be an issue for too much longer.

It may be "off the table (wink, wink)" but I don't think it will cease to be an issue for any but the braindead zombie electorate.

34 Even after this election, Health care is not coming off the table, Obama and HC is like the guy they cuffed on American Idol. He just cannot realize he cannot sing, because he had every sycophant giving him false reinforcement. Obama has the media, his party telling him that this bill is what the public wants and his detractors are just a small nuisance.

35 Blunt really needs to win this one if conservatives have any hopes of a good mid-term.  The seat is currently held by Republican Kit Bond.  So we're defending, not adding to our total.

All things considered, he should win.  Missouri went (narrowly) for McCain in '08.

36 Barry & the Dims needs to move further to the left. Keep pushing Barry's radical agenda. It's a winning strategy for them.

37
28 Dip my ball in fondue?  Can do!

Kiddie Fondue™ would be awesome for that,  if it didn't have the word "Kiddie" associated with it.  But it does,  so it's just wrong.  (sigh)

I disagree.  Obamacare is only a rallying point for opposition to Obama/Reid/Pelosi.  If Obamacare is pulled, then there is still the crippling deficit and the floundering economy. 

There is no bill that Reid and Pelosi can send to Obama that helps the economy without violating their core marxist ideology. 

There is no bill that Obama could sign that helps the economy without violating his core marxist ideology.

If the democrats in Congress split over what they think Brown's election portends, then the democrat leadership will have no means to push their lefty agenda.  This will leave nothing but battles over the debt ceiling if McConnell plays it right to keep that in the news until November.

40 Use whatever you can for as long as you can then find something else to

Then don't fuck it up.

Simple.

41 Obama and his party basically performed a "2girls1cup" video with the chicken for the past year. The reaction by the American people has been the same as the ones you see on thousands of youtube clips, disgust.

42

15 & 19, look for the left to go to one of its favorite fallback issues: gun control.

43 I'm not worried.  I am absolutely certain that the Democrats will come up with something batshit crazy and/or Stalin-grade evil to push before November.  It's what they do.  It's all they do!

44 wish we could hold the 2010 elections today

What would the American Idol judges know about "singing"?  Two words for ya - "Tom Fucking Petty"

46 Don't forget to click over to CBS's Grade Obama's First Year poll and tell 'em how you really feel!

Something tells me the results of this one aren't going to lead off the 6 o'clock news anytime soon.  (Hint:  It's no B+)

47 Getting rid of Boxer might be too much for my balls to handle, but I'd take one for the team.

48 Another positive sign is that Sen. McCaskill is running away from Obama, and has been since the town halls this summer.  Which is ironic since she endorsed Obama very early on in the primaries. She most recently has gone on record as saying Congress needs to slow down.

If she's bailing you can bet her people know something's brewing in Missouri, and it ain't Anheuser Busch (or the Scandi company that now owns it).

LOL! Barry's failing in nearly every category. Afghanistan was the only one that was close. I still gave him an F there because the guy dithered so long before he made a decision.

F's in every other category. This guy is EPIC FAIL. Hell, he's COSMIC FAIL.

51

I can't believe Boxer is still leading in polls. That pretty much sums up what's wrong with California. Mental illness.

It's time for a Boxer Rebellion.

52 These polls don't mean much yet in MO. We are the quintessential swing state. 2008 was the first time in something like 20 years we didn't go to the presidential winner. (McCain by 800 votes or something). And, the only ads that are running right now are anti-Blunt, by some environmental group hammering him for voting "with Big Oil." They are smart not to say that he voted against Cap and Trade. That would be an endorsement around here. Carnahan and Blunt would be even on the political family thing. She has too much name recognition to go after her without an extremely self- and well-funded unknown. She lost the hard-core pro-lifers with her twice-struck down ballot language (got slapped by the judiciary twice for ballot language that said darn near the opposite of what was actually being voted on, and that was just on life issues.) She's almost as liberal as McCaskill, who only won a close race against Talent because Matt Blunt, who beat her narrowly for the governor's office, turned out to be a pretty bad governor and buyer's remorse was strong. Blunt has the religious vote locked up by his opposition to gentleman's club ads on highways and casino expansion. But he lost the casino expansion fight last year, and it's out of most voters' minds these days. The tea party movement is strong here too. I'm not sure whether Blunt has embraced them, but I'm certain Carnahan won't. But the economy here is not as bad as elsewhere. Unemployment is lower than the national average, and most businesses here depend on commodity prices, which have held or increased. While there is plenty of anger, I'm not sure the big city Dems will bail on Carnahan, especially for Blunt. So, no matter what the polls say now, count on this to be a tight race to the end, unless something happens to the local economy or Carnahan gets slapped again by the judiciary.

53

Still trying to make certain that his record for abject dishonesty can never be broken, the jackass in chief attempts to absolve democratic politicians of any responsibility for forcing banks into making risky loans that triggered the meltdown of '08.

54 A Field Poll finds Tom Campbell has jumped ahead of DeVore and Fiora

That's a little weird, because last week they were all within 6 points of her.  Honestly, though, I think Campbell's the only one who has a prayer here.  DeVore is too conservative for the general population in California and Fiorina, jeez, I just wish she'd go away.  I'd like the chance to something other than vote against Boxer and Fiorina won't provide that opportunity.

55 Oh, I'm sure that "health care" will continue to be an issue, since I'm pretty sure that Harry & Nancy and the rest of their lunatic posse won't be able to bring themselves to...shall we say, pull all the way out of that chicken...come whatever may.

And didn't I see something about them still wanting to raise the national debt ceiling aby another trillion-odd dollars? Like they're still thinking about going back for another round of stimulating shit-sammiches?

I'm confident enough that they (meaning the Democrat leadership) will continue find new, innovative tone-deaf ways to piss off the electorate...it's what they're good at.

56 Before he went to commerical rush said Chuckie has called for hearings on the Surpeme Court decision....

57 @48 McCaskill had to hear the tea partiers and town hall folks. We shut down her office in KC. She and her wimpy staff closed and ran for the hills because they didn't want to hear from the little people. Pansy would have to turn or go into hiding for fear of people telling her what they think.

58 actually, Kit Bond is retiring, so this would be a hold. But this would be huge in MO given the clout the Carnahan name has in this state

59

OT but...John Edwards is in Haiti with a group of doctors trying to "help."

 

60 Blunt sucks. But I'll vote for him just to keep another Carnahan out of the Senate.

61 Before he went to commerical rush said Chuckie has called for hearings on the Surpeme Court decision....

Thereby proving that it is possible to up the ante on douchebagginess.  Frankly, I'm still surprised IndyMac didn't institute a black ops on his sorry ass.

62

I recall the Minority Leader campaign. Blunt was heavily involved with DeLay's K Street Project, and the blogosphere on the Right run an "Anyone But Blunt" campaign as a result. That's why Boehner is Minority Leader now.

One worry we should have over Blunt is that he has skeletons in his closet. He needs to come clean about those because, if I can remember why he's not Minority Leader, then so can the Democrats.

63

Let me know how the Cemetery vote is breaking, and I'll get back to you.

I got ACORN on my speed-dial.

64 One worry we should have over Blunt is that he has skeletons in his closet.

It's Missouri.  There probably isn't a single resident who doesn't.  And a good portion of those "skeletons" are likely to be livestock. 

65 Blunt's an insider, more comfortable in D.C. than in his Missouri district. Wouldn't trust him farther than I could spit. Dropped his wife of many years to marry some Washington type lobbyist or something like that--pulled a Gingrich.

66

15 & 19, look for the left to go to one of its favorite fallback issues: gun control.

HR-45, S-1317.

It's coming.

I doubt the dems are quite that stupid.  It's been said that gun control cost Gore the Presidency.  With the recent boom in gun sales, pushing gun control right now would be suicidal for all but those in the most liberal districts- and it's those in red / purple districts who have the most to fear in 2010.  Hell, even Obama tried to (falsely) portray himself as pro-2nd Amendment.

I'm about as pro-gun as anyone, but I'm not terribly worried about HR-45, S-1317.  People have been talking about it for a long time, but it's been stuck in committee for so long for a reason.  I don't think it'll ever even see a floor vote.

67 Catherine are you in the 5th district?

68

And a good portion of those "skeletons" are likely to be livestock. 

Aw, dude. 

69

OT but...John Edwards is in Haiti with a group of doctors trying to "help."

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think that botox treatments and hair styling tips are what the Haitians are most in need of right now.

70

OT but...John Edwards is in Haiti with a group of doctors trying to "help."

And Sean Penn is there with George Clooney, both with backhoes, but they forgot to gas them up?

71

Hollowpoint 67, agreed. Gun control would be absolutely suicidal this year; and even if it did pass, the next Congress (which, guaranteed, would be more pro-gun) would repeal it. It's not going anywhere.

Gun control is for comfortable Democratic majorities in good economic times, which they use to drive Republicans nuts and to scare soccer moms.

72 Catherine and Jewells!  Nice to know there's fellow morons in KC.  Hoping against hope that Turk has a chance to win over Mister Clever.

73 Missouri morons:  Do forgive, I should have added present company excepted.

74 Carnahan is a dirty whore.


Please don't associate us with Robin Carnahan.  We have higher standards than that.

75 And a good portion of those "skeletons" are likely to be livestock.

You do know how they practice safe sex in Missouri, don't you?

They mark the ones that kick.

76

Hey JamesLee.  I was Jacob's neighbor for 22 years.  He's a GREAT guy and his wife is just a joy.  We are working hard this campaign to get Cleaver out of office.  Jacob's only problem and I hate to even call it a problem, but he is very very low key.  He's no Marco Rubio for sure, but he knows the issues and could wipe the floor with Cleaver in a debate.  He just needs to get some national attention!

77

@77

I was hoping that!  Dont' know much about him yet, but a couple weeks ago when Darla interviewed him, I thought he really sounded like the Real Deal.  I'm going to have to hit the website and try to do what I can for him.

Might have more help too, we have a newly-minted US Citizen friend who has heard us talking about all this for years, and she's really excited to be able to take part in it.

Any bets the plans on the Tea Party involve the Speedway?

78

James, it's so appreciated.  Anything you can do and your friend also, would be great. 

Don't know about a tea party at the speedway. 

79 @68: I think I'm in the 6th district. Borderline. Found the lowest property tax county in the state and live within commuting distance to KC. Rural life rocks. You should have seen the ol' farmers gittin' out the vote for McCain. And those skeletons ain't hurtin' Blunt. Carnahan does not want to pull out all the stops, or her terrible record as Sec of State is coming out and proud. This race will turn on whether the GOP can capitalize on the momentum and whether Blunt explicitly embraces the Tea Partiers. Those two happen, and Carnahan is done.

80 So you have Graves.  Wish we had opted for a little further out, but we didn't.  Oh well.

81 Yep, and since he beat Kay in 2008, I'd say he's pretty darned safe. I thought you meant state district. I can never remember where the line is these days on that one.

82 Uhh, Rush talked about this earlier, and he said Fiorina is within 3% (the margin of error) of Boxer.  Not that I necessarily like Fiorina.  Haven't seen too many specifics from her except that she thinks the interwebz should be regulate.  Not a good start in my book.

83 If healthcare is completely off the table in the next 2 months, there might not be the same anti obama intensity out there come november.
-----------------

Come November, there will be no intensity either way. Obama will be an afterthought.

The only out is if there's another terror attack, and in that case the anti-Obama intensity will be back up.

84 I think Blunt has an excellent run at this. I know our GOP group for McDonald County is endorsing but as one commenter already pointed our, Blunt will do well here in the Southwest.
Carn is already struggling trying to advertise himself though. His latest campaign comments are talking about how we residents want a "Outsider" and that Blunt is not that person. If thats the case then how does Carn figure himself in the running given his status? heh
