second?
Go for it.
dammit.
it's gonna be a beyooootiful election, not because the public has learned to think but because the GOPerverts have been outed.
I just posted below--someone was asking about AAR in New York. It hasn't vanished, just moved over to 1600 on the AM dial. Harder to hear and some very weird program scheduling but definitely alive.

I mean, really, fuck Haloscan.
So are people like Harold Ford, Barack Obama and Joe Lieberman going to act like real Democrats if the Dems take control of both houses? Or are they going to run around pretending to be centrists?
Or are they going to run around pretending to be centrists?
It wouldn't take much pretending.
Good one from Roy. Choice passage:
...(Crazy Jesus Lady Peggy Noonan) tells us, liberals and Democrats lack "grace," and "What also seems missing is the courage to ask a question. Conservatives these days are asking themselves very many questions..." Oh, I bet they are! Like "How much of this government money can I stuff into the trunk of my car before the voters turn me out?" and "Is now the time to start screaming about fags getting married, or should I wait until the week before the election?" and "If they caught Foley, does that mean they can catch me, or the guy that sold me this cocaine, or the prostitute that is currently sucking my dick?"
Atrios, your blog policy on elections is sounding scarily like Bush's policy on Iran.
Let's hope the third time's the charm.
After 2004's crushing nightmare, I'll believe it when I see it. The prevailing attitude in DC is "I got mine! Fuck you!", and a lot of voters seem to like that kind of national representation.
GOP is hoping some "big event" will happen between now & election day. Does this mean that they're rooting for a terrorist attack??
Whoo-Hoo!
Hi, mena!

If this ends up being like rooting for the Chicago Cubs or the Brooklyn Dodgers, I'm out.
It's always almost election time here. I wish we did it like the canadians. We're like fish swimming around in a tank that never gets cleaned.

Whatever it takes to win. They don't give a flying fuck about America, they just want to make sure they keep their snouts at the best part of the trough.
fuck you, haloscan!
I'm trying to not think about it much, honestly. We should win this one. If we don't, I dunno -
*sigh*

How about a trifecta?:
1. Dems win Congress
2. Dems win Senate
3. Lamont beats Lieberman

Sounds good to me. And I'm betting #3 will happen. 20% of the vote goes to the unsupported, invisible GOP candidate with the gambling problem, through sheer inertia. Yep. That's what he'll get, due to straight-ticket, force-of-habit voters. Mark my words.
.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Lamont but the last poll I saw wasn't very good.
Does anybody have the latest?

Because, you know, North Korea blowing up a nuclear bomb isn't a big event.
600,000 additional dead in Iraq isn't a big event.
The destruction of an American city isn't a big event.
I'd hate to see what a big event looks like.
How can it possibly come to pass that a clear majority of Americans are extremely pissed off that the nation is headed in the wrong direction during an election year, yet I guarantee you, many will nonetheless vote Republican Nov. 8.
I just don't understand.
PARDON ME!?!?
But I do believe we have the advantage this time. And the repugs are actually going out of their way to help us even! The only way they can pull this one out of their ass and win would be to rig the voting machines, which I suspect they may and probably will try to do. But with their most recent faux pax, I do believe they'd get caught red handed if they tried.
The real question I have is once the Democrats regain control over the Legislative Branch, what's their agenda?
mena-- Canadian elections can't be Diebolded, either.

I hope so, Moe. I'd like to believe there's a sytem somewhere that can't be rigged.
i've scheduled a day off from work the day after the election so i can celebrate here on Eschaton. I did that too in 04, but ended up crying all day!. But not this year. I'm sure of it (unles the voting machines get really fixed by the GOP)

I don't think they have the huevos to do it, honestly. Besides, they would have had to start the publicity campaign already, and North Korea queered that narrative.
Thanks, Kim Jong-Il!

Yep. They aren't going to do that and I started to say something along those lines myself. I'll bet money they won't attack Iran.

I kinda like Pelosi's agenda.
Cleaning up the swamp that congress has become.

Good point. I think that the Oct Surprise deal is overblown. Might work in a close race, but this one appears to be shaping up to be a pretty big Democratic deal.

I'm fixated on this, too. I've always expected an eleventh-hour, "wag the dog" style strike on Iran, to rile up the wingnuts. But I would have expected more lead-up. At this point they'd have to get Iran to attack us (or at least make it look like they did) to have a pretext for action in such a short time frame.

The only thing that could possibly work for them is to scare people badly enough to distract from yet another, and this time pretyy obviously, stolen election. Are their balls really that big? No. Are they really that crazy? i don't know.

As I posted way earlier, I really think we're gonna see a progressive revolution. The complacents have arisen. Admit it. Seven, eight years ago, would you have visited Gilliards blog, or Greenwald's . Would they have even been moved to start blogs? For that matter, would you be coming to Eschaton?
That's "looser."
Aw c'mon Molly, have a heart. Trollie's just got PWN3D and he's having a hissy. Anybody'd forget his spelling in a time like this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W...h?
v=WfbneDm4miY
This sounds okay to me:
Democratic leaders, increasingly confident they will seize control of the House in November, are laying plans for a legislative blitz during their first week in power that would raise the minimum wage, roll back parts of the Republican prescription drug law, implement homeland security measures and reinstate lapsed budget deficit controls.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) said in an interview last week that a Democratic House would launch a series of investigations of the Bush administration, beginning with the White House's first-term energy task force and probably including the use of intelligence in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. Pelosi denied Republican allegations that a Democratic House would move quickly to impeach President Bush. But, she said of the planned investigations, "You never know where it leads to."

I'm crossing my fingers for you, Terry.
I'm phone-banking tonight, quite curious to hear what people have to say.
canadian voting:
1) Go to the voting poll with the card Election Canada sent you by mail teling you where to go
2) they check your ID and give you a piece of paper and a pencil
3) you write an X by the name of your chosen candidate
4) you put the vote in a sealed box
a couple of hours after the last poll closed in BC, we get the final results. Too simple for America!

mena, I honestly believe that it would backfire on them. I think people would be furious. The war we already have is extremely unpopular. People are wise to the scare tactics, too. It's being talked about - a lot.

Odd, "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!" was always mine. Followed closely by, "Surrender Dorothy!"

that's a bet.
I think what they are going to do is provoke Iran into attacking us then use it as an excuse. A couple of months ago I didn't think so. Now. I put nothing past these child predators. Nothing.

Nah - things are too far gone for then, even for that to help!
Kerry is a closer.
Lamont is polling so well, things are bound to go well.
Wait, what?
Don't be going counting chickens just yet.
Even if these fuckers do lose, they will fight and challenge every fucking election, go to court, lie, manipulate, cheat, these fuckers never give up.

Most swamps are infested with aligators. When skinned and their hides tanned, they make damn good boots! I wonder what are a pair of boots made from tanned repug hide will go for?

Well, it'd be nice to have a fair election. Too bad about the Diebold machines, though.
I wonder, though. It seems that the Dems should be headed for a blowout. If it happens (and this is likely) that the GOP comes away clean with this one, will the voters be able to put 2 and 2 together and realize their votes have been stolen?
Or will they just quietly whimper like a sad sack of bloated whales, and then go back to watching TV?

Staying the f%&* away from liitle boys, getting the f&*% out of a secular country that had nothing to do with attacking us on 911, going back to the table with N.

How about stop being in bed with K street and the rest of the corrupt slime balls in DC....? I could go on but I am running out of space.
