(2006-11-08) — President George Bush, in an effort to lift the spirits of dejected Republicans after Democrats yesterday took the House and perhaps the Senate, this morning issued his Top Ten list of Positive Outcomes from the Election.
10. New York Times and CNN will carry much less negative news about Congress.
9. Rhode Island Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee lost and Connecticut Democrat Sen. Joe Lieberman won, a net gain of two for the GOP.
8. We may finally get to see the Democrat plan for victory in Iraq.
7. Taxpayers will be relieved of the burden of making so many investment decisions.
6. Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is now available for Supreme Court appointment.
5. Possible reduction in attacks on our troops in Iraq, since terrorists fear attorneys.
4. NSA agents could soon be freed from having to listen to annoying terrorist chatter.
3. Lynn Swann will be remembered as a great wide receiver during the Pittsburgh Steelers 1970s dynasty.
2. Since a lot of the polling places are in church buildings, millions of Democrats actually went to church yesterday.
1. C-Span could get a ratings boost for new reality show: Impeachment 2007
In addition, the president noted that “millions of American Democrats will sleep more peacefully now that they are assured that Karl Rove doesn’t control everything.”

#2 was the funniest.
But as I said on the previous thread, yesterday’s word was vote. For the next 2 years, we will probably be seeing a lot more of its anagram: veto.

“8. We may finally get to see the Democrat plan for victory in Iraq.”
Yeah, hand it over to the terrorists.
I had so hoped that the American people would think for themselves and not be herded by LLL/MSM lies. I’m disappointed.
I fear that all the gains of the last six years are down the toilet.
The future of this country is in real jeopardy.

Good one, Scott!
With respect to the War on Terror, the Democrats have made good on their suicide pact. Unfortunately it affects us, too.
Last night I got the impression that the Dems conducted themselves like a bunch of drunks in a bar who, after being left the last ones standing, declare their “victory” a just cause.

As many of you know I worked the voting booth yesterday. My top ten list is-never work the polls again. I ached so bad and my mind went kapoot like a burst balloon. Thank God we were not one forced to stay open till 9, like many.
Our ballots were way to long (you can no longer smoke in Ohio) and they would not tear from the sheets, so they were shredded before the get go.
I worked in a highly Democratic area and they showed up like crows in a garbage dump. I don’t know how many Republicans showed up, but the Dems were angry, you could see it on their face.
So roll on big government. Ohio is a creepy place to live and now will be a more creepy place.
But Ohio Repubs, by and large were so corrupt they needed to be tossed out. sigh

How can United Possums POSSIBLY support Arnold Schwartzenneger for the Presidency?! The man is the biggest RINO who ever lived. We’d get a more conservative presidency from Hillary. You’re nuts.
Rick Santorum was the only truly conservative candidate with a strong chance of nationwide victory in 2008. His campaign went down in flames last night, and while that doesn’t necessarily kill him for a national campaign, he now has a record as a loser, which doesn’t give me high hopes for him winning the nomination in this increasingly power-obsessed, RINO-controlled party.
In a word, we are FRAKED. The best we can hope for is JOHN FREAKING MCCAIN. Don’t kid yourself.
Ironically, here in Tennessee was one of the only places in the country where a Republican actually defeated a Democrat, but it was a liberal RINO defeating a Blue Dog conservative Democrat. Naturally all our talk radio stations are spinning this as a Republican “bright spot.” Whatever.

Last night was a failure of Republicanism not conservatism.
Unlike the Democratic Party of no ideas and no agenda but cut-and-run and impeachment, it’s time for conservatives to do the heavy lifting and make another contract with middle America over the next two years. We can write off the lunatic left fringe since it would be impossible to wean them off their kool-aid of hate. I believe the coming attempts to ramrod the radical policies of the left will prove to be the DemDonks Achilles heel in the coming years as well as the gathering storm clouds of global Muslim fascism as we witness Europe gradually succumb to an ever encroaching Islamic caliphate skillfully disguised as “multi-culturalism”.

Every once in awhile Israel would go off on a tangent worshiping false gods and God would bring His judgement on them. Slavery in Egypt for hundreds of years was one, extermination under Adolph Hitler was another.
America has so turned it’s back on God, that yesterday we were put under the heel of God’s dicipline. Eight years of Bill Clinton wasn’t enough, so He allowed Satan a temporary win. Satan and Osama Ben Laden are partying big time today.
I hope and pray that America will repent and turn again to God. It will be difficult with the Communist wielding power in the House of Representatives but it can be done.
Jonah 1:2 “Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me.â€
Nineveh did it and so can America. We have moved a long way from “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” now we have “Desperate Housewives” and “Sex in the City” to educate our children. It may take quite awhile to regain God’s Blessings. If it can be done before Jesus returns.
I think it was Will Rogers who said: “People usually get the kind of government they deserve.”

Talking and writing till 8pm with few if any breaks….at least it was busy so the time flew until about 6pm. I live in one of the poorest precincts in town and it’s always depressing!

32 Ms RightWing, Ink // Nov 8, 2006 at 10:47 am
Now that I had a shower and washed the film of liberalism off my body and a few aches have been toned down a bit, I can maybe think with a little logic.
If you lived in Ohio there would be no surprises this morning. Governor Rhodes was a do nothing leader that let business race out of Ohio like a mule with kerosene up his rear. He was a country club Rhino with an administration as corrupt as anything we have seen in modern times.
Now, I must agree when when it come to political decisions, Ohio still had a large number of Demos in the state house, but I am not going to cry about that. The tax code for new businesses was terrible, as was the codes for existing businesses. If it was not for medical facilities-we would be bankrupt. High taxes and no labor jobs killed Ohio.
Ohio is a blue collar union state and when there is no factory jobs for the laborers, then the Demos have a hemorrhage. And when the governor falls into corruption, then all Repubs go down with him.
Conservative issues like keeping gambling out of Ohio passed, so issues can pass but delegates don’t. So after a long, long day of people saying we need a change, but not knowing what direction we needed to change, they “lemming” themselves into the ocean of sorrow,

Well guys…it is bright and sunny today, but I fear that there is a black cloud that is here for awhile.
I am furious at the Republicans who stayed home…and they did according to the news…because what they have done is said that they are not really Republicans who honor our right and our duty to vote, or who believe in standing for conservative values. Shays, Chaffee and Dewine needed to go, but to vote out Allen and Santorum and Talent? I truly think that there is going to be a third, conservative, party form…I know that I will join it…and the Democrats will be far left, the Republicans will be a combination of more conservative Democrats and RINO’s in the middle standing for whatever feels good at the moment and the conservatives will have a new party of accountability, smaller government, fewer taxes, more state control and more support for the military.
As it is now, we get to look forward to this for the next two years. Thanks loads, to those who asked for this.
Just remember:
They said to him [Samuel], “You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, like all the other nations have. But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you…The people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. :We want a king over us. Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us…” 1 Samuel 8:5-20
Well, in a nation that God actually took out of bondage from the land of England, the people have asked to have political correctness and entitlement to be their king, rather then God, demanding that the US of A be just like the other nations. God gave Israel a king. God has given the people of the US what they asked for. God help us.

I think the important thing about this election is that the Dems who won had to run as conservatives. Everybody in this election was against illegal immigration. Nancy Pelosi said that there will be no impeachment. They all pretended to support tax cuts. Either they will vote the way they promised - in which case we’re fine - or they will about face on campaign promises and ensure their ouster in 2008. The leaders cannot act as centrists, so I figure it will be the latter and that will only help the GOP in the next presidential race. Besides, now we get to see the secret plan.

All the “voting irregularites” that were being reported yesterday by the LSM no longer exist. Reports of “voter intimidation” are also no longer an issue. No one on the left is whining about malfunctioning Diebold machines today. Of course, all of this is absolute PROOF that “disenfranchisement” only exists when dimocraps lose. It’s good to know that Osama/Al Qaeda/Iraqi “insurgents” were successful in getting out the vote here in the U.S. And, I’m certain you had a lot of help from the cemetary/felon/illegal alien vote, just like you planned.
To all you celebrating liberals, patting yourselves on the back for your “victory,” congratulations! You’ll all get “the government you deserve.” And, without doubt, you liberals deserve every bad thing that will happen as the result of your “choices.” Dance in the light of your “father’s” flames…bask in the warmth.

Actually, Pedro-the-illegal-Scrappleface-alien, last night was not a referendum on Bush, but on Congress. The average loss in a 6th presidential year election is 43 seats. The Republicans lost 32…so how is that a landslide? Considering all of the disasters like Katrina and Rita and the earthquake and on and on, I think they did remarkably well.
But as to congress - Have you read the exit polls? Number one reason for dissatisfaction was Congress. And what was the number 1 issue? Corruption and lack of ethics - IN CONGRESS!!!!! The last time I counted, Congress was made up of both Democrats and Republicans, but since the Republicans were the majority, then corruption falls into their laps. If you look back over the recent years, corruption has been rampant in both parties, but the Republicans have to take the responsibility because they were the leaders. This election was about “Throw the bums out” - the incumbent bums that is. And so, Mr. Pay-me-yer-dough, ya’ll just keep thinking that this is about the President and just keep operating the way you have, because when the American people find out that ya’ll have been lying and can’t make this country have lower unemployment then 4.7% and that you won’t make our taxes lower (since you plan on letting the cuts expire) and that you really have no plan for Iraq and so nothing is really going to change and that spending is not going to get less, but more out of control with earmarks, and that you aren’t going to do a thing about stopping the influx of illegal aliens, and that you are just going to whine that you can’t get anything done because of the President…the people will then eventually throw the Dems out on their keesters too and maybe the Republicans will have realized by then what it means to be a conservative.
Crow indeed. In my state, we chowed down on nachos, chicken, meatballs, casseroles and tons of desserts at our watch party…because in our state, Republicans gained a seat (just four from taking over) the Senate and elected a very conservative Republican to the US Congress. My two local Republican representatives ran off with their elections and we just had a marvelous time.
It’s ok..Playdo - this country has a higher power in control then the political parties or the President and He gives us plenty of rope to hang ourselves, just so that we will finally realize that He is in control and we are just going to have to trust.

I’ll try an spell it out very clearly: The separation of powers doctrine refers to the 3 branches of government-executive, legislative and judicial. The legislative refers to both houses of congress-the house of representatives and the senate.
The doctrine has nothing to do with party affiliation. It has everything to do with the executive stepping on the shoes of the legislative or judicial and vice versa.

I couldn’t resist listening to Rush’s monologue this morning. He made a request that all conservatives record these benchmarks on the day the Democrats “changed the political landscape of America”.
1) No terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11
2) Gasoline is at 2.08/gallon national average
3) Americans are benefitting from a tax cut economy
4) Stock market is at an all time high above 12,000
5) Inflation is under 3%
6) Unemployment is at 4.4%
This is what Democrats and a significant number of Americans VOTED AGAINST!

Jericho,
Your rationalizations are irrational but I know how difficult it is when you get backed into a corner.
Please show me where “my leaders” claimed that the separation of powers has to do with party affiliation.
I suspect that your confusion stems from the fact that the republican led congress has rubberstamped the executive’s agenda without any oversight. However, a responsible republican congress could have provided such oversight just as well as a democratic congress. In fact, if they had, they likely wouldn’t have received such a whupin’ last night.
Now change out of your pajamas and comb your hair. You’re late for the bus….

Were the Dhimmis concerned about corruption? William Jefferson LA 2nd headed for run-off.
Where are the corrupt R’s today? out of office, in jail, under investigation
Where are the corrupt D’s today? Headed for re-election??????

I knew the smart folks up in the treasure state would see the light. Another crooked politician has an early retirement.
Oh, and Darth, regardless of what that drug-addled bloated radio host says, the country voted against a failed policy in the middle east and corruption.

Maybe when the Islamists recruit ALF/ELF to off the P and VP they can take out Holy Joe the Jew too and thereby the Islamists can get the Senate after all.
77 Pedro // Nov 8, 2006 at 12:53 pm
Jericho,
I don’t have an answer for you. But I reckon that the reason has something to do with Jefferson’s opponent and the voters in Louisiana. Oh, yes, having an (R) next to your name doesn’t help either.
By the way, the abortion ban went down in SD; the gay marriage amendment went down in AZ; and the stem cell initiative passed in MO.

Hank: 25 years old and dealing with brain cancer? That saddens me beyond words. My sincere sympathies to your family and to hers.
All Scrapplers: I suggest we all look at the BIG PICTURE here. What happened yesterday was not a bad thing. It was a very good thing, in fact, for the American system of checks and balances. The Republicans lately have been overreaching and often completely off-track-most of us have admitted this to one degree or another. They had become exactly what caused America to turn against the Democrats in 1994: entrenched, petty and a bit arrogant, characterized by infighting, corruption and attempts to micromanage Americans’ private affairs.
This is exactly what is to be expected when a single party has too much control for too long. Last night’s elections were merely what stock market enthusiasts call a “correction”.
Far from being depressed about the outcome of yesterday’s elections, I’m marveling at how well a system that was put into place 200 years ago protects us from the most un-American thing I can think of: consolidation of too much power under one roof for too long.
Regardless of what some here may think, this is America at its very best.

Hey Lieger, where are all the whining by Democrats about Karl Rove and Dick Cheney trying to fix elections? And the typical moonbat rants about hidden Republican votes in Dieboldâ„¢ machines? Ya see troll, Republicans know how to lose with grace, cautiously trusting in an always imperfect voting system, but American leftists (including Mexican leftists and others throughout the world who riot when elections don’t go their way) always whine and call for endless recounts.
Now “idiot”, under election law in Virginia, Mr. Allen is awarded to what is essentially an automatic recount because the winning spread was less than 1%. It would be irresponsible for Mr. Allen not to avail himself of this legal avenue. However, I bet dollar to Pedro-nuts once the recount is done and if Mr. Allen is still behind he will simply congratulate Mr. Webb. Conversely, given the same circumstances, moonbats on your side of the aisle would have invented all kinds of conspiracy theories about why they lost and continued demanding one recount after another until they can corrupt the system enough to get the kind of results they did in the governor’s race in Washington state in 2004, for example.
BTW, Lieger, given the closeness of the races and the normal voting anomalies that crop up, name me one conservative or Republican who has uttered one word about these “elections being stolen”. If the roles were reversed you moonbats would be screaming into the nearest television camera or writing letters to the editor railing about your retarded stolen-election conspiracy theories. We’ve acted in a far more dignified and adult manner than the Donks and trolls like you have acted the last six years when it comes to election results.
So tell me, did Bush steal Election 2000 and was their a Republican conspiracy to steal the elections in Ohio 2004? Buwahahahahahaha! Slamdunk.
Oh, and it’s okay for you to celebrate, along with the rest of the Muslim fascist world, Donald Rumsfeld is stepping down. Maybe President Bush can find someone who to fill the position who is less of a yes man and would be willing to tell POTUS that we can’t keep dealing with Islamofascist in such a minimalist way. Pull off the velvet gloves, train up the Iraq security forces and let’s get on with the war on terror, or else let’s just bring the troops home and hope we don’t become punching bags for terrorists on our own soil.

“Tester Takes Montana”? Since when? I agree that it’s leaning that way (he’s leading by 3,100 votes), but I haven’t seen a final call yet, and I’m sitting in the capital city right now.
My poor fellow Montanans are just a bit confused right now, that’s all. Tester ran a flashy campaign against an old incumbent who’s been scandalized for doing what ALL Congressional leaders do, earmarking. Burns has seniority in Congress and a good conservative outlook. Tester (coupled with our liberal governor) are working way too hard to make people think Montana’s ready to be a Democratic state.
89 Darthmeister // Nov 8, 2006 at 1:10 pm
If Americans “voted against corruption”, then why isn’t William Jefferson (D-LA), Harry Reid (D-NV) and at least three other Democrats under investigation for wrongdoing not gone? Hmmmmm? Nice sound bite, though. Bet you didn’t think it up yourself.
90 Darthmeister // Nov 8, 2006 at 1:12 pm

More DemDonk corruptions here.
I wonder how many of these corrupt Democrats were thrown out this last election?
Despite whatever window dressing Lieger/Pedro/neverthink wants to hang on this election, it was triumph of Democratic partisan ideology which was bereft of any solutions or any real agenda of substance. It was a vote-for-me-because-I’m-not-a-dirty-Republican appeal to middle America.
But the Republicans did themselves no favors by being a party of doom-and-gloom the last three months and not unitedly acting on legislation which would effectively deal with illegal immigration, stop growing the entitlement government, and trying to out-liberal liberals.

I stand corrected Pedro. I guess I misheard it earlier on the Laura Ingraham’s show, but I’m sure your side will in the spirit of the fairness doctine be correcting that opportunity soon enough.
Well, further congratulations are in order. We now have in addition to the right to life (unless you are still in the womb) liberty (unless you want your vote to not be conteracted by ACORN’s illegals) ,and the pursuit of happiness (unless some liberal wants your home for a new public-private marina project) the right to pursue creating humans in order to do medical research upon them just as long as we destroy them.
Yep it sure is morning in America

Around here, we leave the “cross-burning” to people like Senator Robert “KKK”/aka/”Sheets” Byrd, D-WVA, whose toothless, brain-dead, inbred constituents returned him to his seat. Like I said before, ALL liberals/demoncrat voters totally deserve the consequences of the evil they have just perpetuated. May they forever reap what they have sown. God have mercy on the rest of us.
113 Godfrey // Nov 8, 2006 at 2:30 pm
Anyone how thinks Bush is “stupid” should take a look at who is controlling the news cycle today…when it should be all about the Democrats.
Bush has been humbled and has responded like a real president should. For the first time in the last year or so I remember why I voted for him.
Big changes are in the air. I am really looking forward to the next two years.
