HousingPanic Stupid Question of the Day


What's the mood out there on the upcoming elections?

Democrats take house and senate?

Democrats take senate, lose house?
Republicans hold senate, lose house?
Republicans hold both house and senate?

Does it matter?

What impact is Foleygate having?


What impact is housing crash having?

Are jingoism, hatred and wedge issues alive and well?

Is Hannity already spinning that it's not a big deal to lose congress?

A VERY Liberal (I). Who is ashamed to be associated with the DNC.

Predictions:
Repubs hold onto both house & senate because people are stupid, dems can't mobilize, and because of low turn out. Gas prices spike, and people are afraid to go the the polls because of the roving gangs in the streets.

If the dems can't find a way to leverage this foleygate, macaccagate, and BW's state of denial book, they deserve to be sent to gitmo and water boarded until they grow a sack or some gills.

What's the mood out there on the upcoming elections?

somber mood...economy contracting in spite of the hype...jobs that are out there pay next to nothing..$6 to $10/hr range here

Democrats take house and senate?
democrats gain the House for sure...and perhaps the Senate

Does it matter?
Perhaps...if democrats hold investigations into the rampant fraud from iraq to katrina to housing bubble

What impact is Foleygate having?
Playing big with core conservatives...who probable sit out the elections

What impact is housing crash having?
depends if a market crash happens before election


Are jingoism, hatred and wedge issues alive and well?
until Foleygate came alive

Is Hannity already spinning that it's not a big deal to lose congress?

you bet

registered Independent...always votes across party lines

Dems take the House and Senate, but with slim majorities and no clear mandate. They will attempt to extract revenge for '94 and may even open impeachment hearings against Bush and Cheney (payback for Clinton).

In the end, the Dems will show voters they have no meaningful agenda beyond revenge against Republicans, and this will screw their hopes for a successful democrat Presidential candidate in '08.

If Dennis Hastert resigns, the Foley issue calms down by election day and it'll be close, real close.

If Dennis Hastert stays as Speaker, the Foley issue stays in the headlines until election day, and the Repubs lose control of the House in a landslide.

And Sean Hannity will blame it all on Bill Clinton.

Stupid question of the day:

Why is FOX NEWS the most watched "news" channel in America?

It doesn't matter what happens, both parties are incompetent. The men and women that lead this country today are not worthy to be mentioned with the leaders of the past who founded this country, built it into the most powerful nation, and led it through civil and world wars. We are like Rome in its decline, falling from within.

A fiscally conservative, socially liberal(I):
Dems win both houses in NOV
Waste 2 years with impeachment hearings and investigations into, well everything
Lose presidency and both houses back in 2008.
Nothing changes, our government is still made up of some of the weakest minds and souls of society.

PS. I am voting for whomever will repeal the crappy anti-online gambling law they snuck into the Ports bill. I need my poker.

"foleygate"

Are you Dems really that stupid? Ever hear of Gerry Studs or Mel Reynolds? The antics of those two big-D congressmen with "young people" make Foley's shennanigans look like a Sesame Street episode.

Both dipped their wicks and both admitted fault. Neither one resigned and the voters in his "progressive" district actually reelected Studs.

At least Foley had the dignity to resign. And I don't remember anybody asking house speaker Tip O'Neil to resign, even though he fully knew about Studs' fondness for certain pages.

Someone corerct me, but in a fascist regime - are there Dem and Repubs?

Is Hannity's show any worse than The View? Neither one are news programs, and both serve up talking heads. One leans right and the other leans left.

Does anyone claim ABC News is a "left-wing tool" because The View is shown on the same network?

If you Dems want any credibility with voters, please prove you have a few working brain cells.

The bush administration will launch another false-flag "terrorist" attack prior to October 20, likely nuclear, on US soil. They will blame it on the Iranians, and launch world war III in response. They will declare martial law, and start rounding up the people on their lists.

There will be no elections this fall, or for a very long time in this country.

Lord I hope I am on that list...I could use a vacation. In the meantime I am going to sit here and enjoy my drink with Elvis, Jim Morrison, and the little green men.

If the control of Congress gets too close the Rs still have their ace in the hole. Repeat after me until you understand the implications of:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. D, CA.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. San Francisco, D, CA.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. San Francisco, D, CA. Third in line of succession.

Doesn't matter if youare personally unswayed. This sends shudders through the ranks of moderates and conservatives across the nation.

I didn't think gerry studds or barney frank were in charge of protecting children from predators

I didn't think gerry studds or barney frank's behavior was sheltered and hidden by the speaker of the house

I didn't thing gerry studds or barney frank were from the self-annoited party of god, the party of family values, the party of morals

see now how the comparison doesn't hold water?

parties in glass houses should not throw stones

Registered (R). Thoroughly disgusted with both parties. The federal government is going down under the weight of corruption, incompetence, and lack of fiscal restraint. Expect to see a rise in invidual state's powers in response to an ineffective leadership in D.C.

The current polls are showing that the Republicans hold the house and the senate by slim margins.

A lot of political experts, including Dick Morris, are saying that the Foley scandal is actually going to hurt Democrats.

I think people are going to vote on gas prices and The Dow. With both of those "looking good" people are going to keep the Republicans in office. I didn't keep the link, but there was a recent article on how Bush's approval ratings are inversly proportional to gas prices. If prices keep going down, the Republicans keep everything.

I also agree that if the Democrats took both houses in congress they would start impeachment hearings as payback.

Does anyone know if Nancy Pelosi was hot when she was younger?

Anonymous said...

No Keith, the "party of God" is Hizbullah. At least try to get your countries straight once in awhile.

People in red states aren't as stupid as the typical urban voter in big-blue cities. They know and use the "white-man's" logic and can clearly see the difference between a Mark Foley and a Gerry Studds.

Urban "gangsta" logic blurs the difference and for typical Dem voters, and in their minds makes Studds the better man no doubt.

This whole thing will backfire on Dems because it only serves to dredge up forgotten memories of party bad boys/deviants like Studds, Kennedy, Reynolds, Clinton, etc.

Hannity was on the radio the other day trying to scare his listeners. How did he do it?

Speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi, BOO!.

Anonymous said...

Republican, embarrassed by his own party.

Predictions: With the republicans having lost the way, the democrats still deciding what exactly they stand for, one cannot blame the electorate for being lost. Does it really matter who one votes for?

My main prediction is a huge upswing in Independent votes, caused by both Democrats and Republicans sick & tired of their own parties. Second part of the prediction: a very low turnout.

Whatever happens, it needs to something that makes Hannity irate daily. That Faux troll needs punched right in the forehead.

I'm with FC John. People are like frogs in a pot of cold water - by the time they realize the heat's been turned on, it's too late.

Bush et.al. continue to borrow money from communist China, spend it on Halliburton/KBR, Titan, CACI etc. in Iraq. People get screwed because it's all deficit spending.

Creeping fascism continues to develop.
I expect bin Laden to show up any time now.

"Either way us poor folk lose. But that being said, you've got to be a MORON to vote republican. We all know how bad it's been with them in office. There is just no way to spin that!

A friend of mine during the last presidential election didn't vote for Kerry because he said "I need a better option".

Give me Pelosi, Hillary, Jack Nicholson, Al Sharpton, Hugh Heffner, Anna Nicole Smith, Kobe Bryant, Terrell Owens, even the kid with the 2 million dollar loans...anybody but this fu*king MORON we have in office now.

I would bend over for anyone who was running and wanted my vote, if he promised to impeach the DEVIL.

IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH, for treason against the American people! And for just being plain STUPID!

At least all Billy Boy did was get a blowjob for himself. Bush is bending us ALL over and sticking it in our a**.

I will admit though if I ever run into Mr. Clinton that I would slap him, not for getting caught, but for not getting blown by a better looking braud! Other than that the man deserves a pat on the back."


You Go Man!! Say it like it is!
Maybe some white trash scum and hypocritical religious nut jobs that blindly support Republicans will stop drinkin the Kool-Aid.
You gotta be real STUPID to vote Republican this election cycle.

No, it does not matter. Recall that Bush did not "win" either election. He was illegally appointed by the "felonious five" Supremes. For the next election the Diebold company stepped in. Obviously, they can get away with anything. A bunch of Democrats would possibly be less wontonly destructive, but it still won't matter because our politicians are incapable of percieving and/or dealing with the several severe crises simultaneously underway (I'm referring to both financial and environmental problems). All is not completely bleak - just don't expect solutions from 'the system'.

Democrat, with reservations; left of center, but that doesn't mean pro-wasting tax dollars!

If the votes were actually counted it would be landslide dems but the will of the voters is irrelevant.

The votes won't be fairly counted, again.

See - James Tobin, Ken Blackwell, Katherine Harris, etal.

This is the biggest part of the reason the GOPs behave as badly as they do.

They KNOW the will of the voters is irrelevant as it is their own minions that count the votes without an audit trai, so they can f*** us over at will and never have to be accountable.

To boot they also have partisans in the clerks offices everywhere in case a fair election did actually attempt to break out, they act suppress that possibility rapidly. See above.

So, look fo the 51%R 49%D tough election etc, blah blah blah, again.
