Risultati contradditori nell’ultima ondata di sondaggi sul generic congressional ballot effettuati nel weekend. Time e Newsweek registrano un fortissimo vantaggio democratico (rispettivamente di 15 e 16 punti percentuali), mentre Pew Research (+4%), ….

LOL

No worries.

Islamo Facism is problem, but the President and his team have not been what you call ether forthcoming on how we deal with that issue in detail, nor especially competent in their conduct of the war. The mime of “Stay the Course” wears thin without any real concrete plan for what that means along with an Iraqi government which is pretty ineffective. Couple that with outright refusal by the President to consider that a mistake may have been made in creating one Iraq instead of the “Three Little Iraq” model, leaves one wondering when being sure of a course of action is the a good thing, and not just stubbornness. Perhaps this is more of case of the famously poor communications skill of this White house, but it does give one pause.

Having said all that, I really don’t believe that all Democrats are loons, nor do I believe that the Mertha “cut and run” position will prevail in the Democratic party, one of the many points I tend to part company with from the more Red Meat denizens of places like Red State and other dispensers of true believer Flavor Aid. I’d rather not see Democrats be in the mix, but there has been a dearth of real dialog on this issue, at least from the current Republican majority, maybe this election will change things.

One thing is for sure, after the election it’s going to get real interesting.

Sorry – my bad. I misunderstood your point. Yes, we need more than sound bites. But the Reps have a good point about the Dems whistling past the grave of Islamo Fascism.

I know. I know. I liked the 1960′s comment….sorta true…..
I’m just not a TV watcher. Here and there. Not much. Had cable for awhile but the service and the cost didn’t thrill me any. Just a cheap ol codger, political junkie, shotgun across my lap, and a glass of buttermilk….ah…..thats the life!

Ahhhh…sorry, no intent to insult you about the views on the polls.

Third grade, heck I got those from my High School kids….buda bing bada bum. But all respects to polls, there is a smell about the old GOP, and no poll is going to pick that up.

But serious now, I have gotten tired of the “Scare and Fear” campaign that is all the GOP is running on right now, I think the party offers up much much more. The banner of running under the “We Suck Less” is not one that I support.

As I type this, Newt is on FOX making sense, he’s putting forward a positive Republican position on the war, it’s very refreshing frankly and it’s not beating the Democrats over the head with “Cut and Run:. I keep hoping that after this election there will be a wakeup call in the party and maybe a swift kick in the arse. Who’s going to pick up on that kick and start leading with ideas, I have no clue.

Right now, I’d dearly love to see a New Contract with America, dealing with things that matter, like the line item veto, like a sensible immigration plan, like the one the President put forth. I’m not sure what those ideas will be, but ideas are what drove the party I changed to from the Democrats back in the late 70′s. There’s not a lot of ideas of late.

LOL! what you compensating for? I smell a serious case of insecurity there kid.

You need to get into the 21st century! Get DirecTV if you can afford it! We have it and I LOVE IT! DirecTV’s Tivo/DVR is AWESOME! You can set it to record every one of your favorite actors shows or movies!
It will work even out in the sticks! This ain’t 1960 anymore!

There’s something in the air, some smell, it’s like the smell you get in your ‘fridge when something goes off a bit. It’s the smell of the Republican Majority bereft of any ideas who is well past it’s use by date.

Rancid, smelly, limp, you name it; No matter how much the old fear campaign against something “New and improved” is used, the consumer ain’t buying more of the same old same old.

Maybe someone will come up with a New Contract with America from the Republican party for ’08, hard to say.

Carol…wish I had Tivo!….out here in the sticks all I have are rabbit ears…probably the last pair in the country!

OT, but I hope you won’t mind. “Obsession” is on Fox News tonight at 8:00pm EST. A MUST see if there ever was one!
