2010 Election: Worst Case Scenario an Unlikely Scenario...?

[evildevil]

Likely Voters and Unlikely Scenarios

As I've been telling people all week here in Pittsburgh, there's ample reason for Democrats to be worried -- perhaps deeply so -- about 2010. Without major intervening events like 9/11, the party that wins the White House almost always loses seats at the midterm elections -- since World War II, an average of 17

To me, this is nothing short of the BEST CASE scenario! Democrat losses for the win!

If the Republicans didn't cut taxes on the Americans who are most able to get by, all the while dumping trillions of dollars into a bogus war, the recession would never have happened.

Your side caused the mess we're in. Own up to it, for fuck's sake.

. We consistently care about lower taxes.

FOR RICH PEOPLE

seriously, hon.. where have you been during 2000-2008? These were the most irresponsible times for deficit spending

I was there supporting Bush all the way. I still support him to this day.

I still support him to this day.

so that 9-11 commission was .. hogwash?

and this is your next savior?

*sigh*
Why do I even bother

[bluetooth16]

I read the 9/11 Commission Report. I interpreted it as it's all Clinton's fault.

like cancer and tsunamis

and the sludge in the WH garden (which can be traced back to the Reagan administraion)

okay, whatever. Just don't move from NYS, where your vote on the national level will never mean anything anyway.

[bluetooth16]

I'm definitely planning on leaving NY. I want my vote to count!

[squid_ink]

NYS says good riddance and don't let the door hit you on hte ass as you leave

[bluetooth16]

And I'm telling the Libs in NY to kiss my ass.

Was Clinton there to hide that memo about "Al-Qaeda determined to strike within the U.S." that George so flippantly ignored during one of his monthlong vacations right after he took office? Or perhaps Clinton put on a Bush mask and told the CIA officer who presented him the memo "don't worry, you've covered your ass" as he tossed it on the other side of his desk? Clinton could have nabbed Bin Laden a couple times sure, but you don't think Al Qaeda could have still organized some dudes with plane tickets and boxcutters even without Osama? Bush was careless at best, complicit at worst, period. This has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with ignorance and incompetence.

[andyh3000]

By the way here's just one (many to choose from) source for that "you covered your ass," story. Our president failed us. Face it.

Mhm.

And people yelling at each other to "shut up" is contributing so well to the town hall discussions, right?

[bellichka]

Hey I've tried contributing to discussions with her. Sometimes you just get frustrated at seeing the same ignorance and "yay I hope Obama/the Democrats/anybodywhoisn'tSarahPalinorGeorgeBushorRepublican fails! Woohoo!" over and over and over again.

[squid_ink]

she'll be cheering if there's another terrorist attack because this is " so great for Republicans"

[bellichka]

Seriously! The backwards-thinking mentality astounds me.
