There's a rumbling in the heartland
This port issue is messing with georgie's* world here. Yesterday when my wife was at the Dentist, a man in the waiting room was loudly berating the monkeyboy*, especially on the ports.
Another woman joined in the fun, then Marshmallow joined in and told them to come here they'de like it.
The chimp* is so fucked, our repug nazis running the state are fucked, our nazi reps are so fucked, damn this is going to get fun.

1. It would if they weren't still buying anti liberal propaganda
Don't kid yourself, most of those folks will still vote pubbie. They blame Stupid for everything, but Stupid is not running for anything.

Will the anti Stupid sentiment translate into more votes for Democrats? Yeah, probably, but not enough of them to make a pemanent difference.

14. No matter how much they hate Republicans, I feel there is a good
chance they will hate Democrats more.

This is why the congressional Republicans are positioning themselves against Bush. They feel they can keep their majority together so long as they outflank Dems on the failed President issue.

5. If only the hearlaners would stop listening the Dobson, Hagee, and Rush.
They are all alike but come the braindead from different directions. Until libs can get the financial backing to put up more talk radio and TV talk shows that truly inform people about the issues nothing much will change as the DeLay vote in TX proved.

8. I'm even finding previous outspoken rethugs are now.........
.....silent when confronted with all the crap the boy king is pulling.:toast: They either have no defense of their idol or they now think they might be attacked with the same arguments they used to use against us. Either way, the tables are beginning to turn people. SO DON'T GIVE UP YET keep the pressure on.

11. You know sometimes things just get so bad
that voting isn't the way to change things if you know what I mean, things may approach that before long.

15. They've got a whole slough of issues that one vote won't
cover for. And they still have to deal with the "mangos for nukes" trade deal.

17. seems to me
that many of the Chimp supporters are still clinging to their devotion to him, but are blaming everything on congress now.

The idolatry of Bush is still there, but it looks like congress is going to have a shake-up. That's the face-saving solution for thos ewho sold their souls to the devil.
