Republicans who comfort themselves with the mantra that the 2006 Big Blue Wave was a hundred-year flood that will have no impact on 2008 congressional races… avert your eyes! Because the Democrats have picked up yet another seat in yet another blood red district.
Louisiana Sixth CD (99% Reporting)
Don Cazayoux (D): 49% (49312)
Woody Jenkins (R): 46% (46282)
To put this in perspective, this is a seat the Republicans have held since 1974, in a district President Bush won in 2004 with 59% of the vote, and this special election victory comes on the heels of Democrat Bill Fosters’ win in IL-14 in former House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s old seat. If Democrats are competitive in these districts, they’re competitive almost everywhere.
And for those who delude themselves into thinking Barack Obama is a liability for down-ticket Democrats, like the brilliant GOP strategists who bombarded Louisiana airwaves with ads tying Cazayoux to Obama and Nancy Pelosi, chew on this:
The attacks linking Cazayoux to Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama didn’t work. They simply didn’t. Yes, the Republicans pulled in more votes and a greater share of the vote than they did last month in the first round of balloting. So what. This is a very Republican district and yet despite of this lean and the fact that the GOP tried to make this election about Jeremiah Wright, they still lost.
This race was very much put forward by the chattering class as a referendum on Obama’s coattails (which proved to be strong in the very Republican-leaning Illinois 14th congressional district earlier this year), and Obama’s coattails passed the challenge. Simply put, the Republicans may have thought they had found a silver bullet in Obama and Wright (and Pelosi, too, for that matter), but they didn’t.
Sure, November is still a long way off. But right now I don’t see any good news for Republicans.
Bye bye, GOP.
Yep – and watch the inbred right come into this thread and try to change the subject. They’re very worried. They’re all emailing Limpdick Limbaugh and praying to him for guidance. Their world continues to crumble and yet they remain stupid enough to continue to vote GOP.
They are doooooomed and life is good.
Yeeeeeeeeeeehaaaa!
Wingnuts, to paraphrase Marty Stuart:
“The right wing bullshit whiskey ain’t working anymore!”
LMAO!!
I hope somebody inventories the contents of the House & Senate Office Buildings, because those family values sumbeeches will strip it clean on their way out. Ashtrays, towels and those portraits of Washington–they’ll all be gone.
No, we’ll steal the B keys or the H keys from all the PC keyboards… Just like 1-20-2001
Hey wingnuts! The bell tolls for thee. It’s the death knell of your party as it writhes in its death throes. Even reliable Republican voters are turning their backs on the Greedy Oil Party. Anyone with eyes knows the GOP is a clusterfuck. Like the dodo bird, evolution has selected you out of nature’s survival plan — the stupid and flightless merely fucking die. Wingnuts are doomed!

@5 The sad, pathetic, gaunt wingnuts — having already gone through their body fat — are now reduced to living on their homespun mythologies …
Chew on that? It was a bad night for the GOP, and a bad night for Obama (and Pelosi).
Despite energetically disassociating himself from Obama, Cazayoux finished several points below expectations (per primary results and polls). He finished below 50%. He finished below the divided total vote of his rightwing opponents. And he was running against a weak Republican opponent (as was the case in IL-14, and as will be the case in many challenges this cycle) who ran a horrible campaign.
The primary Obama cheerleader on MyDD’s front page says this proves the attacks “didn’t work”? Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?
(The pro’s will grind out their own fine-grained analyses, and these may shed light on what worked or didn’t work … but Singer’s instant defensive spin is just a vortex in the Kool-Aid.)
@8 The Republican candidate lost in a district held by Republicans since 1974.
End of story. ### – 30 –
Let’s see you spin that.
Bye bye GOP and hello to what? I’m still not sure why everyone is jumping up and down. For example, of the top ten cities in the America that have the highest crime/homicide rates, wanna guess how many have a Democratic Mayor?
The cities are: Detroit, Baltimore, New Orleans, Newark, St. Louis, Oakland, D.C., Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Buffalo.
All Troll can muster is his shopworn, granpa on the porch, whittlin’ the hours away acontextual crime statistics.
@8–Talk about a fine grained analyses–you buffed that one with 2000 grit yourself. Cazayoux won’t be disassociating himself with the POTUS come January, ’09.
“I’m still not sure why everyone is jumping up and down.”
If those same cities had Republican mayors, the crime rate would be even higher, because the set of all criminals would have to include the Republicans in office.
@10 Is there supposed to be a correlation there? Poor cities have more crime. They also tend to have Democratic mayors. Republicans? They strip these places clean, then abandon them — leaving behind another mess for Democrats to sweep up.
All I’m saying is I’m not buying your steaming load of crap that when Democrats rule we’ll automatically be living in some sort of paradise.
McCain’s Reverend Problem (or Problem Reverend — Your Choice)
“John McCain likes to [advertise] himself as a straight shooter …. But at least one question does get him bobbing and weaving: why doesn’t he renounce the endorsement of Pastor John Hagee, the San Antonio televangelist who has offended Roman Catholics and other groups?
” … McCain tries to stay away from talking about Hagee. In New Orleans last month, he grew irritated when asked about the pastor’s views on Hurricane Katrina. ‘It’s nonsense …,’ McCain said when a reporter drew attention to Hagee’s 2006 statement … that New Orleans had suffered ‘the judgment of God’ because of its ‘level of sin.’ [But] McCain refused to disavow Hagee’s support. …
“McCain’s aides attribute the Hagee controversy to poor vetting. But even some Republicans … wonder how the pastor’s extreme views slipped through without notice.
“McCain personally wooed Hagee for more than a year. In early 2007, the Arizona senator traveled to Hagee’s Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, where the two men had breakfast. … While Hagee declined to publicly endorse McCain at that time, the pastor donated to his campaign and organized, with Jerry Falwell, a reception for the senator at a convention of influential religious broadcasters. … McCain … praised Hagee for his strong support for the war in Iraq and was a keynote speaker at the annual meeting of … a … group that Hagee founded.
“‘When someone endorses me, that does not mean that I endorse everything he stands for and believes in,’ McCain said last month. ‘I don’t have to agree with everyone that endorses my campaign.’ But that may seem insensitive to those who have been offended by Hagee’s more controversial positions.
“The pastor has made some outrageous comments. He called the Catholic Church, among other things, ‘the great whore’ and ‘a false cult system.’ … The Catholic League, which published a list of Hagee’s ‘slurs’ against the church, has called on McCain to renounce the endorsement.
“Hagee also … believes the United States has a Biblical obligation to support Israel, and he has advocated a pre-emptive strike on Iran to protect the Jewish state. He opposes a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, suggesting that if Washington backs such a plan, God might punish Americans by dispatching terrorists. …

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Why aren’t our wingnut friends who worked themselves into a froth over Rev. Wright denouncing McCain’s close ties to this nut? I guess it’s okay to be anti-American as along as you’re pro-Israel.
The difference between Obama and McCain is that Obama denounced the nutjob preacher who embarrassed him, and McCain won’t denounce the nutjob preacher whose remarks are even more inflammatory than Wright’s.
McCain = unfit for command
… Oh yeah, one more thing, the GOP has intimate ties to Rev. Sun Myung Moon, a slimeball who makes Marc Rich look like a Boy Scout.
“All I’m saying is I’m not buying your steaming load of crap that when Democrats rule we’ll automatically be living in some sort of paradise.”
Wingnut rhetorical method #2: When you can’t really rebut your opponent’s actual stance, make one up.
Conservatives love arguing against their imagined alter-egos. Those are the only arguments they can win.
The right wing turds are reduced to trumpeting that the Dem didn’t win by enough. Are you fucking kidding me? Is that all you got?
Since 19 fucking 74 moron – that’s how long the GOP has held the seat. In a district that went close to two out of three for Bush in the last Presidential election. For a Dem to even come CLOSE to winning would have been a big deal. To win by ANY margin is a huge blow to the right. And further evidence that the Bush regime is taking down the entire GOP!
Good News for the Republicans … the Blethen Times trifecta, today:
#1 is Devericks’ Jeremiah Bullfrog ‘toon;
#2 is Leonard Pitts’ evisceration of the Religious Wright;
#3 is neocon Krauthammer’s (neocon is the fashionable compassionate tolerant liberal progressive way of saying Jeee-eeeeew) evisceration of latter-day saint Barack H. Obama. Free samples:
This is why Reichert will lose. People are sick of Republicans, and few will continue to vote for them.
Oh, give me a break. “Neocon means Jew.” Grow up. Yeah, Dick Cheney’s a big fat Jew.
@20 like I said you fucks need to change the subject because in the real world – you’re loooosing big time.
But wait! It gets even better, for normal people, and even worse for Goldycrats!
Check this out, from Senator Obama’s chat with Russert, this morning, Meet the Press:
“And, as a consequence, when Reverend Wright, who married me and baptized our, our children, when he made those statements, or I learned of those statements that I found so objectionable, I, I felt that they didn’t define him.”
Smirk about a submarginal LA leg district if you must, but it’s your last smirk. Ever.
You’ve got it now from the saint’s mouth or the horse’s whatever: The racist Rev is married to the post-racial senator.
The Jayson Blair Times yells that Wright’s over, that (as Krauthammer paraphrases) “any future ads linking Obama and Wright are preemptively declared out of bounds, illegitimate, indeed ‘race baiting.'”
Over? Hell, the fun’s just begun because Obama and Wright are very very linked. Married. To each other. Obama said so this morning. And while they don they now their gay agendas, a thrill runs up Chris Matthews’ leg, and Grampy McCain — who has a bad dose of Bush-in-mouth disease — wins in a landslide.
Dick Cheney is a big fat Paleocon. Get your taxonomy straight or get out of the game.
@18 Their defense of the GOP’s total clusterfuck is that Democrats aren’t 100% perfect. True, but a 95% success rate is better than a 0% success rate.
@19 This may be a harbinger of things to come in WA-08 … hell, maybe for all three of Washington’s GOP-held seats. I’d sure like to run the table on these bastards and reduce their congressional representation in our state to zero!
100% 95% 0%
More ‘accounting errors’?
@20 A rightwing propaganda sheet runs rightwing propaganda pieces — this is news??
@24 “a submarginal LA leg district”
They all count the same in congress, and this morning your party has 1 less and we have 1 more — that’s a net gain of 2. Suck on it, wingnut!
Oooh — and don’t forget, in 2006 the Democrats didn’t lose a single seat in the House or Senate while the Repubs were getting their clocks cleaned.
“I’d sure like to run the table on these bastards and reduce their congressional representation in our state to zero!”
Time to resurrect our doomsday weapon, Linda Smith.
” …rightwing propaganda pieces — this is news??”
Roger ‘Accounting Error’ Maggot thinks Leonard Pitts is a rightwing propagandist. That is news!!
@25 3500 B.C. sounds like about the right carbon-dating for you paleomorons, give or take a thousand years. Everything above your necks is 100% fossilized.
Actually, some submarginal LA leg districts count more than others … the district of William Jefferson, D-LA, for example.
@33: Running interference for Love Daddy? Rabbit got his tongue?
@28 The 95% is an estimate; the 0% is not an estimate.
@31 “Time to resurrect our doomsday weapon, Linda Smith.”
Yes! yes! yes! yes! yes!
“… denouncing McCain’s close ties to this nut?”
Maybe because McCain is not closely tied to this nut? Your first clue is that the citation you cite is “News”week, a wholly-owned hole of the Democrat Party.
Oh Great Mother Rabbit Spirit, please puh-leeze let them run Linda Smith against us!!!!
@36: If Arthur Anderson says it, maybe I’ll believe it. When you say it, I save myself the trouble and MoveOn.
Please hold your hairball orgasm. Was just making a feeble attempt at humor, since Ellen Craswell isn’t available for comic relief.
@34 I’m glad you brought that up! Jefferson’s a crook. When he got caught in the cookie jair, his caucus — the Democratic caucus — stripped him of committee assignments. That was all they could do; they would have ejected him from the House but couldn’t because Repubs controlled the House and, well, they didn’t want to set a precedent given that several dozen of their members were in the same predicament. When their members got caught stealing they lied and covered up and protected them. That’s a major difference between Dems and Repubs — and don’t kid yourself that voters don’t know it.
@33 What’s it to you? Our side is a team. Working together, we’re going to bury your side in a slime heap of your own lies, fantasies, failures, and corruption! Suck on it, wingnut.
@38 “Maybe because McCain is not closely tied to this nut?”
We can dispense with the “maybe” because unfortunately for you he is.
@40 I certainly understand why Arthur Andersen is your favorite defunct accounting firm. As for your other observation, I don’t give a rat’s ass whether you believe me. I’d rather you didn’t. Rabbits get judged by the company they keep, you know. P.S., presidential candidates do, too.
@41 Carlson — isn’t he the guy who got, like, 38% of the vote against Gary Locke?
Ellen Crasswell — didn’t she get 38% of the vote against Gary Locke, too?

Being married to a batshit preacher is a close tie.
Accepting $250,000 and a sweetheart real-estate deal from sweathog Tony Rezko is a close tie.
Getting a peripheral endorsement from a peripheral shouter, who recanted his loose-lipped disrespect of Catholics, is not a close tie. Unless, as lawyers and liars do, you redefine definitions and cover all angles by making them obtuse.
” … given that several dozen of their members were in the same predicament.”
Several dozen GO-Pee congresspersons had $90K+ in their freezers? And commandeered rescue equipment to rescue the stash? Who knew! Who are they?

“Being married to a batshit preacher is a close tie.”
What’s Hagee’s wife got to do with this?
“Accepting $250,000 and a sweetheart real-estate deal from sweathog Tony Rezko is a close tie.”
Rezko? You mean Rove’s business partner?
“Getting a peripheral endorsement from a peripheral shouter, who recanted his loose-lipped disrespect of Catholics, is not a close tie.”
Agreed. Wanting to preemptively nuke Iran isn’t close to anything except the batshit-crazy Republicans of the early 50s who wanted to preemptively nuke the Soviet Union. The Far Right is just as suicidal today as they’ve always been. Trouble is, they want to take the rest of us with them.
“Unless, as lawyers and liars do, you redefine definitions and cover all angles by making them obtuse.”
There’s nothing obtuse about the fact that Obama repudiated Wright but McCain didn’t repudiate Hafee. That’s straightforward — and telling.
@49 I fixed at, but persuaded by your suggestion, I unfixed it. “Crasswell” is a better descriptive than “Craswell” so I’ve decided to leave it that way.
Let’s have a moment of silence for the Piper, Baptist and gentleman, a man of vision who clearly came to understand that hanging at this skank venue is wasting time while time is wasting us. (Hope his sons in Iraq are well.)
Hafee?
@50 That’s not my keyboard; that’s a rabbit laughing at you. Haven’t you ever heard rib-tickling, side-splitting, raucous, uproarious bunny laughter before? Stick around, you’ll hear a lot of it here, because there’s a lot of wingnut morons posting hilarious inanities on this board.
“Wanting to preemptively nuke Iran …”
Oh, puh-leeze. Must we again defile a lovely day by bringing up Howling Commando Hillary’s threat to obliterate an inconvenient nation-state?
@50 (continued) Hey, are you new to this board? I haven’t seen you before. I’m the ex officio greeter of newbies, so allow me to inform you of the ad hoc HA posting rules:
1. This is a liberal blog.
2. Anyone can post here except JCH.
3. There is no censorship.
4. As liberals, our mission is to verbally kick the living shit out of you unpatriotic fascist goatfuckers.
5. No mercy for wingnuts!
6. Our terms are unconditional surrender; there will be trials.
7. Klake is a nazi.
Any questions?
To repeat: Wright married Obama. Hagee did not marry McCain. Repudiations and divorces are cheap, so the devil’s in the Wright/Obama prenup.
@53 Did someone die? You have my sincere sympathy. And my genuine grief, too! We hate to lose every single wingnut, and prize the few we still have left, because your numbers are diminishing daily and we won’t have anything to do after you’re all gone.
#57: Think that’s the 3rd (?) 4th (?) iteration of that official-greeter-excreter stuff. You must have it macro’d on a fx key.
@54 What’s he got to do with this?
@56 You’re the one who brought it up. If you like McCain, you ought to love Hillary.
“Haven’t you ever heard rib-tickling, side-splitting, raucous, uproarious bunny laughter before?”
Yeah, but don’t get any goofy ideas about giving me one of your sweaty 240-pound raucous uproarious bunny hugs.
@58 “To repeat: Wright married Obama.”
No, Mrs. Obama married Obama. Wright married Mrs. Wright.
“Hagee did not marry McCain.”
Of course he didn’t. Texas doesn’t allow same-sex marriages, and neither does Arizona, so they’re shit out of luck. McCain had to settle for a rich beer distributor’s daughter — i.e., being a gigolo.
@61: That was your own blowback, and your own spelling, coming back at ya. Just wondering if you’re tweaking again.
@64. Go to 24, above. Go to the Meet-the-Repressed link. Wright married Obama. I didn’t stutter.
“If you like McCain, you ought to love Hillary.”
Like, huh? Because of a gas-tax holiday? You gotta be kidding.
@60 I see you’re not a brand-new newbie, but if you’ve seen it only 3 or 4 times, you’re a newbie. It bears repeating so you of limited intellect will remember it. Or anyway, remember part (4), even if you forget the rest.
@63 What makes you think I want your ticks and lice?
“Did someone die? You have my sincere sympathy. And my genuine grief, too!” Must rip your dark heart out, not having Piper to kick around any more … particularly since kicking was your only effective defense mechanism. That, plus spitting, hissing, and ejecting pellets.
As an intellectual contest, it was nolo contendere, bro. He pounded you into the ground.
@65 Rabbit Blogging Tip Of The Day: It’s easy to make you look foolish if you don’t wait for the editing function to close. =:-D
Of course, you don’t need my help to look foolish …
Speaking of tweaking, which hand are you typing with and which hand are you, er, tweaking with? Just curious …
Better a goatfucker than a rabbitfucker. Any fucking way. Any fucking day.
@67 As I recall, the subject was bombing Iran. You sure have a short attention span. ADHD?
@70 “Must rip your dark heart out, not having Piper to kick around any more … ”
Nah, we’re used to trolls cutting and running. Happens all the time. Piper, to his credit, lasted longer than that sissy John MacDonald, who fled back to USP after only 3 weeks of getting beat up here.
Welllll … isn’t this special. Rabbit’s a Blog Consultant. Almost sounds like gainful employment. For a change.
@72 What’s wrong with rabbitfuckers? I’d rather fuck a rabbit than a goat. A goat can’t make more rabbits.
@75 You didn’t know that? There’s lots of other things you don’t know, too. Everything, in fact. You merely think you know what you think you know. Unfortunately, thinking you know something isn’t the same as knowing it.
John MacDonald? My itinerary differs from his: I fled USP (too many intelligent people over there) and came here. HA’s my kind of dumb downscale place, for sure.
@78 We’re always glad to get fresh meat here, especially if it comes from Stefan’s suckly little blog.
There’s the known knowns. And the known unknowns. And the unknown knowns. And the unknown … my stars! One needs a goatfucking rabbit to keep it all, um, straight. So to speak.
Who gives a flying’ fuck what anybody’s preacher says? This Wright shit has been going on for too long. Obama is NOT that jackass Wright, nor is McCain that fucking nimrod Hagee.
What I want to know is how McCain, Obama, and/or Hillary plan to wrap-up the Iraqi adventure, secure the borders (especially the southern one), and come up with a substitute for oil so we can tell the A-Rabs to go fuck themselves.
Anything else is petty bullshit.
Speaking of Stefan, I wonder how his lawsuit against Dean Logan and KCRE is coming along? Stefan, long-time readers of USP will recall, solicited his readers for contributions to his “legal action fund” to file a monetary claim against King County taxpayers for alleged violations of the Public Records Act. Even though King County gave him 600,000 documents, the full-time assistance of a staff member, and free use of a room in a public building for several weeks — all at taxpayer expense — Stefan filed suit hoping they overlooked a page or two. But he’s been awful quiet on this subject since filing the suit over 2 years ago! Which makes me think the judge laughed him out of court. How much money has he returned to his “investors”? Have they heard from him? Have they put a skip trace on him — and on their money?
HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR
Stefan, along with McCain, is an example of a Republican gigolo. Stefan plays amateur lawyer while his wife brings home the bacon as a real one. She should make him get a job. He has too much time on his hands.
Speaking of C&R, gotta go. Just so a sweaty sucky goatfucking blog-consultancy maggot rabbit can claim the pyrrhic victory. Love Daddy had the right idea: bail out of this shit pit while the sun do shine.
@80 I don’t have any problem keeping it straight, only you do. For example, just a few minutes ago you were calling me a “rabbitfucker,” which is true — I admit it — and is only true thing you’ve posted all afternoon. But now suddenly you’re confused about which species we respectively fuck. Reminder: I’m the rabbitfucker, you’re the goatfucker. Gawd, thse wingnuts can’t even keep straight who’s screwing who without prompting. Maybe you should print out your comments and read them before you comment again.
Roger @ 83,
One might argue that a certain middle-aged rabbit, who frequents this blog, has far too much time on his hands, too.
“lawsuit against Dean Logan”
Well, counselor, Stefan otta do a little class action with LA Democrats. LA, where Dean Logan buggered yet another election. See the pattern? Yet?
@81 “Who gives a flying’ fuck what anybody’s preacher says?”
Republicans (and the so-called “liberal-biased” media, which is owned almost entirely by rich rightwing Republicans) seem to. That way, they don’t have to talk about what a mess they’ve made of Iraq, the war on terror, the economy, Katrina, deficits, congressional ethics, and everything else they’ve touched.
@84 Looks like another ass-kicked wingnut is slinking off with his tail between his legs. I sure love to see ’em go this way … it does for me what the smell of napalm used to. =:-D
@86 Why argue something that’s obvious? The stock market is open only from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., our time, and closed on weekends, so as a gainfully unemployed capitalist I have plenty of free time! Sure beats working! I earn more and pay less taxes for doing no work and producing nothing. Frankly, I think that’s crazy, but I’m like a cork bobbing on the ocean — I don’t control this thing, I’m only along for the ride.
@87 No, I don’t see a pattern. Stefan sued King County. What’s LA got to do with that? Stefan hasn’t told us how his lawsuit against King County turned out. If he won, he’d be bragging all over the map, so it appears we should surmise the judge laughed him out of the courtroom. Or maybe his beer kitty money ran out and he was too cheap to pay the lawyer with his own funds. That’s what supporters liek you are for, you know — cannon fodder for the latest wingnut crusader to come along.
@87 et seq.* Looks like another ass-kicked wingnut ran off with his tail ‘tween his legs, too.
* There is no et or seq., which is the point.
With all the wingnuts run off this board, there’s nothing more for me to do here this afternoon, so I’m gonna go make some more rabbits. Later, wingnut traitors! I’ll see you when I see you, unless they hang you first.
Just needed to catch a few dying rays of this bright bright sunshiny dying day.
Almost forgot, since Roger Rumsfeld’s in spew hyperdrive, that along with the known unknowns we also have the roger-maggot-know-it-all unknowns … pretty much everything. Especially about which lower life form (rodents! rodents!) copulate with goats.
Disregard all previous or subsequent assertions to the contrary.
And speaking of Mr. Know-It-All, gag me if anybody tries to pull a rabbit out of a Bullwinkle hat.
Sic semper rodentia.
” … what supporters liek you are for …”
Liek, I am so ashamed.
(And look on the bright side: Dean Logan’s a uniter, not a divider. WA Republicans hate him; California ‘Crats hate him.
” … a certain middle-aged rabbit, who frequents this blog, has far too much time on his” greedy grubby little plutocratic paws.
I’m middle aged. You are probably middle aged. Rabbit is post-middle aged and over the hill. That’s why he is always here. He has nothing better to do.
That’s why he lives here. Mrs. R can’t stand to have the smelly sweaty little bugger around the house.
“You sure have a short attention span. ADHD?”
Better my ADHD than your PMS.
(” … which lower life form (rodents! rodents!) copulate …” … And, in addition to being hyperactively disordered, I’m grammatically challenged.)
@94 et seq. Really sucks to be you, doesn’t it?

If you can afford therapy, you should seek it. I would recommend consulting first with a psychiatrist, rather than a psychologist or a counselor. Psychiatrists actually are MDs, that means they can prescribe medications. I think you need medications. So, please, consult a psychiatrist. Talk therapy ain’t enough for you, my boy.
PuddyHistory lesson for you 24hr 16%ers.
Last year there were two special elections hyped here on HA around December 11th by the 16%ers. One in Ohio 5th Congressional District and the other in Virginia 1st Congressional District. Your buds tried to tie the conservative to scandal-plagued former GOP governor Bob Taft and jailed lobbyist Tom Noe. FAILURE!
The 16%er crowd was waiting with baited breath over the loss of two Republican seats. Well the electorate spoke and the seats stayed conservative. Ohio by 13% and Virginia by 24%. You could hear a pin drop on HA. Puddy remembers.
Now we had an election with a weak Republican candidate and your side barely won. Okay you won. What does this portend? What does it hold for the future? All this speculation over what? A 3% win? Based on the blaterings here…It should have been a landslide…
What’s interesting is this LA guy will become an uncommitted super delegate. Now that’s strange…
103 Pud
That’s “bated” (as in “held”) breath…
Actually, Puddy, the district where the Democrat won was a very reliably GOP district, which voted 58% for Bush in 2004. A 3% win for a Democrat there is extremely significant. So you are quoting last year in your efforts to spin this? Is that the best with which the RNC can supply you?
And, I’ll say again, it is an indicator of the reason that Reichert will lose in WA-08.
Daddy Love: You are right bated.
Regarding the election in LA. Spinning? Extremely significant? No I deliver PuddyFacts. Things you hate to read…
I remember looking at the polls weeks before and this Don Cazayoux guy was up by what? Double digits? For him to win by 3% is kind of shocking in this “year of the democrat” as your clueless idiot likes to proclaim ad nauseum. This guys should have kicked his but by over 10%.
Now all politics are local. For the local Repubs to bring Obama and Wright into the mix to me was wrong. And I think the same in NC. What if Heilary wins? See my point. They played their hand tooooo early. Discuss the problems with this Don Cazayoux character. Also Daddy Love with Donkey controlling the House, they felt they would get more pork as possible. Also from what I read many people are pizzed at Richard Baker for leaving in the middle of his term to head the Managed Funds Association, the industry group that represents the $1.8 trillion hedge fund industry. With a salary and comp package over $1MM maybe they were pizzed he left in the middle of his elected term. I look at other indicators you puddle jumpers never research or investigate.
