I think the time for introspection was some time ago.......... stick a fork in the gop..........................
Resist!
Nonsense. Every time they lose, they blame the loss on third party "spoilers," not on their own shitty candidates and policies.
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, RATS ain't got the message to whup the GOP.

Democrats are winning Republican seats by running candidates that are more conservative than the Republicans. That should say something right there. Looks like we're seeing another political re-alignment going on.
Change doesn't always make things better. Often times, it makes things a heck of a lot worse.
That should say something right there. Looks like we're seeing another political re-alignment going on. Well for sure we can depend on more Democrats to do what they promise..;) Funny, when the push was that the GOP needed a bigger margin in Congress to move the peoples agenda, what happened when 'the people' obliged??? We got screwed. When those frauds were bounced out and dems swept in on the promise to end the War, what happened??? We got screwed. Ba-a-a-a-a-a- Ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
That should say something right there. Looks like we're seeing another political re-alignment going on. Interesting observation, if true. Can you give some examples of the conservative political positions of recent successful Dem candidates? I'm curious but am too busy to do the research myself. However, if you have already done the digging I'd appreciate it if you shared your findings. Thanks.
Mostly anti-amnesty and anti-gun-control.

Yep. The Dems came into power and spent their time playing political games instead of doing the People's Business. There is a lot of anger and resentment out there.

They never intended to deliver, and the newest war funding bill will include more spending for projects. Both wings of the bird are unconcerned about doing the peoples business rather more in favor to do it TO the people.
Hey, welcome back.
Mark If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers - normally good Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free - Americans who have been lulled into a false security (April 1968).---Ezra Taft Benson, US Secretary of Agriculture 1953-1961 under Eisenhower
When those frauds were bounced out and dems swept in on the promise to end the War, what happened??? We got screwed. Ba-a-a-a-a-a- Ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a Well, at least they're (all) consistent ... and we're easy to screw. Ba-a-a-a-a-a- Ba-a-a-a-a-a

We need to stop bending over.
RATS ain't got the message to whup the GOP. Whup? Huh? Oh well, anyway....... The only message that the democrats will need can be summed up in 3 words, "No more bush." The vast majority of Americans have seen their quality of life and their prospects for improvement plummet during the bush administration. The congressional elections of '06 were just a warm up. It won't even be close. Remember '94? Remember the ass-kicking the democrats took by a fed up population? Fed up doesn't begin to describe what the middle class is feeling right now. Sorry, my friend, the republican party is about to be defeated, disbanded and forgotten.
What was I thinking?
LOL...I've only got three votes that matter for GOPers, my Congresscritter (Cantor), my Senator (hopefully, Gilmore), and POTUS. Sorry, but I can't vote for an Envirowhacko like McCain, but Cantor will win in a cakewalk, and I'm going to be volunteering extensively for the Gilmore for Senate campaign. I've got no control over what everybody else does...but WeThePeople shall defeat the ObamaNation...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, Cantor is a socialist big government moron that believes McNuts is some sort of savior...total pubbie ass kisser.
You don't know squat...I've met Cantor multiple times and talked to him at length. He's a solid ReaganConservative...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, You, MUD, are a bootlicking ass kisser so I'm sure you guys hit it off great...you'll be right there with Eric smooching Juan McAmnesty's pooper before the (s)election.
Damn Mud, now I've seen everything, a walking billboard just insulted ya. ;-D
LOL...I'm more thick-skinned than most...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, As I type this, I am looking at a photo of Eric hanging out with my kids...he's a good dude...MUD
Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, Once the Dems restore the Fairness Doctrine, people like Limbaugh and Hannity will be taken off the air by the stations' bosses. I read in today's Financial Times that a deal has been struck to sell Clear Channel.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
Do you have a link to that story? Clear Channel was the company that destroyed my interest in radio. I used to be a huge fan of radio, listened all the time. Then Clear Channel came along, and pretty soon the stations I listened to were running more ads, and more ads, and yet more ads, then even more... pretty soon all I could here in my mind were the ads ads ads ads ads. Their stations started to sound like this: "Welcome back to the Clear Channel radio show! Say, Clinton sucks! How bad does he suck? Let's hear a word from our sponsors!" (ten minutes of ads) "And now back to our topic. Does Clinton suck? We'll be right back to discuss that!" (ten minutes of ads) "You're listening to the Clear Channel radio show! Clinton, boy does he suck or what? We'll discuss that after this word from our sponsors!" (ten minutes of ads) "The topic is Clinton, does he suck or what? Let's hear what our callers have to say about that after this message!" (ten minutes of ads) "Hello caller, do you think Clinton sucks?" "Yes, I do" "Thank you for that, and we'll be right back after this brief commercial message!" (ten minutes of ads) ...... At this point you could not pay me to listen to radio. Just thinking about radio annoys me. Thank you Clear Channel for destroying that particular medium.

And I am amused by the billboard. No matter, I agree, vote for Baldwin. Split that vote for McCain up. It's not like you, I and everyone else aren't screwed already anyway even if you don't and he's elected. ;-)

First, I doubt that the "FAIRNESS DOCTRINE" will ever be more than a red herring, but for argument's sake we'll consider it the new law of the land. Let's think about this.................. limbaugh and hannity bring in lots of advertising dollars. So they're not going anywhere. The stations that carry their shows. however will be compelled to run an equal amount of opposing view programming. Not really very scary is it? Besides those two blow-hards will have something new to whine about! Right?
Once the Dems restore the Fairness Doctrine, people like Limbaugh and Hannity will be taken off the air by the stations' bosses.
