Running Election '06 Thread

[dooley_womack1]

Well, most politicians who want to, you know, win, are against gay marriage. Funny how I didn't read "he's against civil unions." And guns, like abortion, haven't been a national issue for years. And how is he for guns? Most politicians favor hunting guns, but are against Saturday night specials. I doubt that Casey won on guns. This is Pennsylvania, a fairly moderate to liberal state, not Alabama.

Nothing to see here but spin.

Iowa’s 2nd: Dave Loebsack (D) 51 percent, Jim Leach (R) 49 percent

I figured we'd see much more celebration here that the guy who got gambling on the Interwebs banned went down.

Just checking in to offer my congrats to Fenian, dog, and all the board Dems.

I mean, God help the unborn,

As opposed to "God Help The Born" with a GOP Executive, Legislative and Judicial trifecta.

It's just too bad there aren't more Dems like Bob Casey Jr. We'll see if he gets railroaded out of the party like his Dad.

And that's bull****, too.
The party ran Casey for governor of Pennsylvania and, before you come back with the endless myth about the 1992 convention, he wasn't allowed to speak because he refused to endorse the national ticket.

You've got the official party line down very well, my friend. That's not what Casey himself said. Why don't you tell everyone here what he wanted to speak about at the convention?

I saw Zell Miller mentioned. I wonder how he's feeling today?

 

[terrier]

SNL, if you're opening with a political sketch this week, PLEASE work Zell Miller into it.

Why is CNN using MO as it's abbreviation for Montana? That's not even the postal abbreviation. Asshats!!!!!

Postal abbreviations are for nerds.

Champagne corks popping like crazy at Al-Qaida HQ tonight ...

Even for you, that's sad.

Now, move this **** off this thread. There's a perfectly good pissing match on Yawn's thread that you can involve yourself with.

Truth hurts, dude.

I suspect the stock market will sell off pretty hugely tomorrow, too. (Already is in Asia.)

The headline they just showed on CNBC: Dow sets new record close

Up 19.77 points, closing at 12,176.54. It seems investors are pleased at good news from the tech sector and Rummy's resignation, according to CNBC.

I don't understand. I was promised that a plague of locusts would decend from the sky to feed on the innocent and that the rivers would turn to blood if Republicans weren't reelected. This is discouraging.

And the other hilarious thing is this notion that somehow a party led by Schumer, Pelusi and Clinton will now become centrist, moderate and try and push an agenda that is middle of the road. LOL. That will last for about an hour, or just long enough for that goofball Murtha to start calling for indictments, grand juries and subpeanos and demands to be among the loudest voices of party leadership.

There ****in' well better be indictments, grand juries and subpoenas. The neo-cons' abuse of power over the last six years at least calls for that much.

If the Dem's take that course of action they will be in power in Washington for, well, two years. Americans do not want the same old Washington Bull****. The first faction of the mega party that so dominates politics here in this country that understands this might have a chance at surviving despite itself.

Hi, D_BYH!

 

[BYH]

HAHA sorry 2mCM. Just logged on for the first time today and remembered Lyman Little's sky is falling cries last night. Couldn't resist not wading thru 14 pages to point out what a fool he is, yet again.

Fool. Do us a favor and start a site for morons with Deep and Yawn and mlb2005.

 

[2muchcoffeeman]

Done.

More often than I'm wrong, but nobody's perfect.

At least I don't have my head up my ass, like some people whose posts I reply to.

 

[Lyman_Bostock]

Some would say you had your head up your ass last night, predicting the stock market would plummet because of the election returns.

It wouldn't have been the first time it happened in such a circumstance.

Like I said, nobody's perfect. Heck, you might even be a good person, despite what I think.

Republicans Will Pressure Allen... Soon
Top Republicans in Washington will give Sen. George Allen a few days to take stock of his legal and political options before beginning to pressure him to concede to James Webb. Senior Republican officials and White House aides believe that Webb won the race. Several outside advisers to Allen want him to make the decision quickly; others in his campaign want to make sure that there's no chance a cache of new votes will turn up. One question: when will the AP call the race? [MARC AMBINDER]

Ouch stop it Lyman you're hurting me.

Come over to our side. We'll welcome you with open arms.

SNL has to open with Baldwin reprising his Glengarry Glen Ross character.

They have so many options.
