White House Gears Up for Disappointing Election Day

nice written Skip, in last comment.

If NJ votes for Corzine again, then all hope is lost for the state. As California goes, so goes New Jersey - right down the sewer.

We can only hope!!!

ACORN trolls are out with the Alinski propaganda tactics with the elections looking like a massive repudiation of the tax em to death & redistribute the wealth radicals.

Do you get bonus dollars for that many teabot buzzwords in one post?

NJ has the highest property taxes in the nation with more on the way if Corzine is allowed to continue to stay in his feathered nest.

I see Alyson and the usual ACORN trolls are out with the Alinski propaganda tactics with the elections looking like a massive repudiation of the tax em to death & redistribute the wealth radicals.

"These conservatives’ whiny cries of victimization also parrot a tic they once condemned in liberals."

"The more rightists who win G.O.P. primaries, the greater the Democrats’ prospects next year. But the electoral math is less interesting than the pathology of this movement. Its antecedent can be found in the early 1960s, when radical-right hysteria carried some of the same traits we’re seeing now: seething rage, fear of minorities, maniacal contempt for government, and a Freudian tendency to mimic the excesses of political foes. Writing in 1964 of that era’s equivalent to today’s tea party cells, the historian Richard Hofstadter observed that the John Birch Society’s “ruthless prosecution” of its own ideological war often mimicked the tactics of its Communist enemies.

The same could be said of Beck, Palin and their acolytes. Though they constantly liken the president to various totalitarian dictators, it is they who are re-enacting Stalinism in full purge mode."

Also from Rich's column: "Hoffman doesn’t even live in the district. When he appeared before the editorial board ... he “showed no grasp” of local issues... Last week it turned out that Hoffman’s prime attribute to the radical right — as a take-no-prisoners fiscal conservative — was bogus. In fact he’s on the finance committee of a hospital that happily helped itself to a $479,000 federal earmark. "

I read a great op-ed this morning about this race and hope you all have had a chance to read it. It's Frank Rich's column titled " The GOP Stalinists Invade Upstate New York." It's spot on in many, many ways. A couple of tastes:

"The battle for upstate New York confirms just how swiftly the right has devolved into a wacky, paranoid cult that is as eager to eat its own as it is to destroy Obama. The movement’s undisputed leaders, Palin and Beck, neither of whom has what Palin once called the “actual responsibilities” of public office, would gladly see the Republican Party die on the cross of right-wing ideological purity. Over the short term, at least, their wish could come true."

"It's time to elect politicians that are anti-Washington."

And that would be Republicans right? Hahahaha . ..

Good riddance Scozzafava.
Drain the swamp.
It's time to elect politicians that are anti-Washington.

Scazzafava up to her neck with the unions--and Obama gives her a thrill up her leg.

Scozzafava has endorsed her previous opponent- Bill Owens. Doesn't this prove tha argument that Scozzofava is in the wrong party? How could she have ever been nominated by the local GOP?Is there a local GOP?

Valerie Jarett say the GOP is becoming more extreme.
This from an administration to the left of France and Germany.

So extreme that Chavez was complimenting them for taking over a car company.

I think you just helped to prove her point.

"To the left of Germany"? As if that is meaningful. Are you not aware Germany currently has a right leaning government?

Are you aware Chavez is democratically elected? Do you understand the concept of democracy?

Pot..meet kettle.
Hypocrites

Hey what does a win by a Dem gov in California say about Obama and the GOP loss of the seat? just asking or CA doesnt matter any more?

Do you mean the election scheduled for a year from tomorrow, Bill?

Netanyahu 1, Bammy 0.

'Difference between Obama and Reagan is that within minutes of Reagan's inauguration the Iran hostages were RELEASED..."

Isn't it interesting how that worked out? It's almost like Reagan was negotiating with our enemies before he was even elected... Should we think it was just coincidence then that this same administration then covertly allowed the sale of arms to the former home of the hostage takers to fund terrorist activities in Central America that killed thousands of civilians including women and children? Reagan bought the hostages freedom for blood money.

MayBee posted "Obviously, the Republicans spent too much...but they haven't controlled Congress in almost 3 years. Bush has been out of office 9 months.

How long can Democrats go without claiming responsibility for something?"

---------------------------------------
Faurtz8 posted "I'm still waiting for the Republicans to claim responsibility for something?"
Most of them claim the same old BS story about how everything went bad after the Democrats took control.

You are acting like the prior 6 years of total Republican control had absolutely zero effect on our country. BS!"

---------------------------------------
To which Fascist responded: "I'm still waiting for the Republicans to claim responsibility for something?"

What the heck--why don't we start with, say, the crumbling of the Berlin wall, the liberation of Eastern Europe, and the disappearance of the Soviet Empire? Will that do?

--------------------------------------

I think Maybee was asking the Democrats to take responsibility for things that she perceives as being problems. Faurtz8 then asked for the Republicans to take responsibility for the current state of our country which I believe the consensus is that it's not very good. -To which Fascist responds by lauding the same old Reagan laurels that the Republicans have been lounging around on for decades now. Either he believes that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a problem or it's clearly a cheap non-sequitur that, even though Faurtz8 cared to continue, really didn't warrant further debate.
