Hello ;) Thanks heaps for this indeed!… if anyone else has anything, it would be much appreciated. Great website Super Piano Links http://www.klavier.m256.net Enjoy!…

From the Peter du Pont’s OpinionJournal column:

Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi has indicated she would like to put Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida in charge of the House Intelligence Committee. As a federal judge, he was impeached in the House by a 413-3 vote, and removed from the bench by the Senate for bribery, corruption, and perjury. Rep. Hastings would lead the oversight of America’s antiterrorism policies.

Pelosi is going to give the chairmanship of the INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE TO AN IMPEACHED AND CONVICTED BRIBE TAKER AND PERJURER!

Liberal lite” or “Conservative lite” is a lot closer to the truth. You see, most Libertarians want two things. Fiscal Conservatism, and Social Liberalism (or “Government out of my pocketbook and my lifestyle”).

I find it hard to describe libertarianism as “lite” in any capacity. Libertarians are not socially liberal. They are, however, far left of the Democrats in terms of personal freedoms, and that is due to an inherent faith in purely free markets, which is actually an ideal of the right. Libertarians do not advocate drug use or prostitution, for example, but they believe in the right of consenting adults to engage in such behavior if they so choose.

The war on terrorism and Iraq has split genuine libertarians right down the middle. I cannot believe that any libertarian would vote Democratic, particularly after the horrifying Kelo decision on property rights, which was approved without blush from the left side of the bench.

Yo, and I’m mixin’ ‘em. I got two turntables and a microphone.
We’re rebounding. There’s a tide a-turning! Leon Wolf sites the Tom Reynolds race, in which Reynolds has regained the lead. Senate?

The most recent Rasmussen poll ($) shows that……

And then he went in to what would happen under a Democratic House, such as say buh-bye to the tax cuts he passed.

There was a good turnout of ticket-buying supporters, a strong contrast to the lame turnout of moonbatty protesters. I gotta say I’m feeling better about the Republicans holding both houses at his point.

I’m sorry if you mistook Libertarian for “Republican Base” but that isn’t really the definition. “Liberal lite” or “Conservative lite” is a lot closer to the truth.

You see, most Libertarians want two things. Fiscal Conservatism, and Social Liberalism (or “Government out of my pocketbook and my lifestyle”). For major policy points, when considering other parties, we like about half of each.

Which major point is the current Republican Administration helping with? Neither. Democrats can’t do the Fiscal Conservatism, but they tend to promote the Social Liberalism side. The Republicans have neither side at this point, if this is “Fiscal Conservatism” then the Dems have nothing on the Reps regarding overspending.

The Republicans can count on the Libertarian Hawks (because the Democrats on Defense is creepy), but the Doves and undecided have no real reason to favor Republicans?

I suspect many Libertarians will vote for the (L) candidate this year, which may make it the best year in quite some time for the Libertarian vote %. Maybe even enough to make some of the state’s limits on who is allowed in the public debates…

Is that “liberal lite”? If you feel like calling that, go ahead.

Normally I keep an open mind about the candidates in the local races,as we sometimes get a decent democrat in races without a republican……not this year….I’m going straight R.

sure it’ll be a toss up

even mean? Doesn’t toss-up inherently mean you can be sure of the outcome?

Maybe the (R) October Surprise is that there won’t be a big surprise. Like the “shock and awe” that wasn’t. Maybe Rove is counting on the Dems to continue to damage themselves with their overreaching and outright dementia.

VP Cheney is saying he thinks Rep. Pelosi ‘helps our cause’ with all of her blathering as of late (my phrase, not his).

Only in Rahm Emanuel’s dreams…

If the Democrats do NOT will both Houses, I predict that the nutroots will do a political “Jonestown”. They’ll throw a tantrum, rail against the “dirty repugs”, claim the election was stolen (what else is new), and possibly threaten violence by taking to the streets ala Mexico.

Just remember, Libs, you can’t have a fun “Jonestown” party without GRAPE KOOL-AID in the punch bowl.

I continue to predict that republicans will keep both houses of congress, and I must now leave for the VRWC meeting so that I get my marching orders as I am actually working to make it happen.

This is a very important mid-term. Everyone should get out there and “Get’er done”

Oddly may slightly backfire in that it may motivate Republicans to not sit back and let the dems take over. And fill the dems with overconfidence.

Keep the crow recipees ready, and don’t forget to VOTE!

What are the talking heads going to say if the Republicans do hold on to the House and the Senate? That will just be really fun to watch.

They’ll say the Republicans stole another election. And this is the first time in PA for the electronic voting machines; so if Santorum happens to win…

the dems are getting ready to make this 2000 and the Mexican election X ten. Watch.

If they can’t win at the ballot box then they will DO ANYTHING TO WIN IN THE COURTS.

Yep. Every close GOP win will be challenged in the courts. These people don’t give a flip about the will of the people, they just want to be in power. And they won’t be playing by the rules.
