Six months ago I bet my husband $50 that the democrats would win both houses.  Last night he finally admitted that he might be in danger of losing that bet.

I'm not counting on anything, not anything.  I may just stay in bed on election day and drink.  But oh my, things are starting to look up...

But I am not going to count my votes before they are stolen

That was a great line.  Sad state of affairs, but it made me laugh on a day that I feel invaded by the ghost of Hunter S. Thompson.

Yep. That's those are watch words. " But I am not going to count my votes before they are stolen."

Against 2 more years, with a backdrop on the loooong war on terra,  I doubt that Dems will savour the victory.

Unless, the win in both houses will be large enough to sustain Articles of Impeachment.


Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

even if they win, Hoyer and the other Republicrats will do everything they can to insure that John Conyers doesn't get anywhere near that Chairman's seat. Do you think that he won't use the very same change in seniority rules that he attacked the Republicans for?

It sucks to be them.
My eyes are welling up.  

He's made history as Speaker, according to his site: (1) the first Republican Speaker in more than a century, (2) one of two Republicans to be reelected Speaker for four consecutive terms.
  And now ??? (3) first speaker to resign just before election day for ignoring/covering up a Republican scandal ???

I wonder where people are getting their news on this? The MSN, including PBS and NPR, are treating this like victorian ladies hinting at the existence of sexuality. "Inappropriate messages" seems to be the favored euphemism for what was in fact blatant obscenity. Anyway, good for us.

Being me, I can't be 100% happy that Hastert and the GOP got away with so many murderous lies and swindles and incompetencies, only to be brought down for being an enabler in a sex scandal. Kind of like Al Capone finally going to the slammer over tax evasion while getting away with murder, kidnapping, extortion, and all the rest. But we've got to be grateful for whatever finally bursts through the media's supine Bushlove.

Anybody know if Hastert could be forced out of his leader job without an impeachment-like proceeding? If he absolutely refuses to resign, can he be pushed out by party leaders? That would seem to be the worst of all options for the Godly Old Pederasts.

FDR's response to progressive demands: "I agree. Now go out and make me do it."

for the past couple of decades.

godDAMN

On the very issues that they beat progressives over the head about.

The gift that keeps on giving...

At least we know the difference between gay and pedophile.  The way they are spinning, a few hundred heads are going to explode over the mass confusion.

Oh, I want Hastert to resign.  I WANT HIM TO.

It may just stop that Naval squadron going from Britain to Iran, as London Yank at the Orange Zone has alleged.
