Liberals in Panic!

[Le Jacquelope]

McCain probably could have run a more agfressive, finger-pointing campaign. He could have strongly pointed out that Dems controlled Congress when the economy collapsed, which they did, and had for over a year. I realize the causes go back more than a year, but the Dems did nothing to change what was happening during their watch. McCain could have made much out of this, but he didn't.

The Dems can't be blamed for being stopped at every turn by Bush. They didn't have a veto proof margin. C'mon, man, seriously.

Is Ron Paul a Conservative? I always thought he was more of a liberal Rep.

How so?

As for Barr, he would have been seen as too much of an idealogue. Voters won't vote for extremists of any kind, which is why Goldwater and McGovern and Kerry lost, even though running against an incumbent who was generally disliked.

I stil say the reasons McCain lost were the ones I mentioned earlier.

Bob Barr and Ron Paul couldn't even get the Republicans who wanted smaller government... you know, like Joe the Plumber.

"Stimulus equals Spending?" Portrayed as an 'oh, duh...' moment, the new administration, withering under accusations that the much promoted and pork ridden 'stimulus program', is just another word for government, 'spending' programs.

"Ya think?" Asked the new President to an audience that responsed with sparse laughter.

Okay, so a decade of 'paybacks' to loyal democrats across the nation, pouring money into their covetted programs, costing nearly a trillion dollars and creating precious few employment opportunities, is acknowledged as just another left wing spending program for social programs. Yhe new administration 'fessed up', and admitted today.

Vowing to work until 'dawns early light', to iron out details of the spending program, democrats retired for the evening at 8:30 pm Washington time for crumpets and trufles.

Such a deal!

There may be a vote this weekend. There may not be a single Republican yea vote. Doesn't matter, say the dems, we can pass it without them.

Hmmm.

I mean, like who doesn't want 'free money' in the form of a government check?

Look for the word, 'cloture', as the weekend approaches and ripens, if them dems call cloture it would mean they are fairly certain of passing the legislation or are taking a big risk by bringing it up for vote.

The plot sickens.
