certain “moderate voices” are urging me to cease my criticism of the media coverage of Mother Sheehan and the duncities of John Kerry. Perhaps, these same voices soon will say, it’s time to shut down the Plamegate investigation, in the interest of comity. I’m just guessing.
Now that the Dems are in control, it will suddenly be discovered that the war in Iraq is going much better than thought (now that the Dems have a Congressional majority), the economy’s in remarkably good shape, and some of the Democratic charges against Republicans, while necessary to bring a new dawn to the country, were somewhat unfair.
John Kerry still won’t realize he’s toast, and will insist that he’s the Democratic frontrunner for the nod in ‘08.
Gore will think that he’s deserving, still.
Hillary will barge in, and they’ll both try and gang up against her.
Thank goodness Fitz let that moron Rove off the hook.
A competent Republican in charge of the campaign might just have won the election…or at least held onto the Senate.
Laugha whilea you can monkeyboy.
Are ridicule and mocking considered criticisms?
depends on who’s doing the mocking. duh.
Does anyone else think that if Bush fired Rummy before the election, the Pubs woulda won?
In my estimation a “moderate” is no different than an “independent”. Just a person who doesn’t know what they really want or what is really important. I hope everybody keeps ragging on Cindy Sheehan and that idiot Kerry. When they want to shut their pieholes people will stop dogging them
monky–
No.
I live to mock.
Wait, I thought Rove was teh eeevil genius?
Republicans lost because they lost some of the hawkish Dems and a bunch of the libertarians. Social cons are often every bit as nannystatish and moralistic as leftists—though for the most part, they have the good graces not to try to settle everything through the courts.
Had the MSM been even modestly disinterested over the last several years, Repubs would have held both houses. They wouldn’t have deserved it—many of them have acted like the worst kind of Kennedy Dems—but the country is far more conservative than it is left-leaning.
Here in Colorado, many Democrats won, but progressive ballot initiatives almost uniformly failed. There’s a message in this. The Republicans had a chance to embrace South Park conservatives—who are really classical liberals with libertarian tendencies and a belief in a strong national defense and a strong sense of national identity, manifested by a belief, ironically, in rugged individualism.
These elections were a cautionary tale to the Republican party, but they were by no means a repudiation of conservatism, nor do they suggest any kind of mandate for progressivism.
Just ask Ned Lamont.
I never thought Rove was that bright.
He lost the 2000 election(votewise).
And after 9/11, the Republicans would have had to have been caught eating live babies on camera to lose 2002 and 2004…
Back to his losin’ ways.
– Would that be the knowing voice of one loser to another monkybutt?
now, Jeff, why are you wasting time in the comments?
– Hmmmm….. Reid said…”…and now is the time for change…”
– I thought the Dems just got in office.
Well, he doesn’t think too much of you, either. He told me so.
– Looks Like Vilsack isn’t going to let anybody get out in front of him for ‘08. First Dem to file for the pres. run.
– With Conyers announcement that impeachment is off the table, covering for Pelosi, looks like he wants that leadership position more than Mother Murtha.
– Based on what we’ve seen so far, I’m guessing Nancy isn’t planning on any trips to SF any time soon.
maggie–
He forgot his password.
– He had it written down Dan. I’m betting the ‘dillo ate it.
I completely agree! Cease the criticism of the media coverage, and criticize Sheehan and Kerry directly.
I’ll support him. The Democrats need a presidential nominee in ‘08 who makes people snicker because of his name instead of his character.
– McGehee – what could possibly be funnier than “Ketchup Slut’s Boytoy”….
True, BBH—but that nickname was because of Kerry’s character.
Now, for all I know, Vilsack<snicker>’s character might be snickerworthy too, but…
I’m wondering if all those Canadian homes, that the liberals moved to, will be available for rent now?
I don’t think Bush fired Rummy.
of course not B Moe, Bush accepted his resignation. ;D
I tend to agree with whoever said this will allow the next SecDef to focus on his job next year. instead of us seeing Rummy testifying in congress all the time.
And Rummy obviously knows that his ability to do the job would be horribly compromised by that. I think B Moe is probably right. This was more Rummy’s call that Bush’s.
