Dems poised to take Senate; Update: Webb declares victory

Freelancer, I’m very sorry to say but you have to understand the reality of the situation.

If the Democrats control BOTH houses that the only party that will be doing the “governing” will be the DEMOCRATS. The committee chairs will ALL BE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS. The agenda will be that of LIBERALS.

LIBERALS, led (presumably) by Reid, with senior members such as Kennedy, Byrd, Biden, Leahy, Levin, Rockerfeller, will run the committees that will decide military, foreign, and domestic policy, start investigations of Bush and the Republicans, and approve judges.

Conservative bills will be tabled. And Liberal bills will be advanced.

Here’s an obvious one (one that I GUARANTEE the CHARLES SCHUMER WILL INTRODUCE on JANUARY 6, 2007):

Gun control WILL AGAIN BE ON THE TABLE, and this time there will be no “sunset” provision on a phony AW Ban. This time there will be a REAL “assault weapon ban” and this time it will be CONFISCATION OF ALL SEMI-AUTOS (it’s just so difficult to define what an “assault weapon” is, so let’s just ban them all, as per Diane Feinstein), lifetime limits on the number of guns a person may own (forget about 1 gun a month, more like 1 gun a year or decade or lifetime), Federal licenses to purchase guns, limits on the amount and type of ammunition that can be purchased (as in nothing more powerful than .22 solids).

And hang on to you hat on this one — A FEDERAL LAW THAT OVERRIDES ALL STATE CCW LAWS — and prohibits CCW nationwide!

That is what a LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC SENATE and HOUSE will do on this issue alone! Sarah Brady is creaming in her underwear right now, because she knows that with her inoperable lung cancer, now she can die happy!

Oh, and while I’m warming to the subject, you can kiss Rush Limbaugh GOOD BYE. Kiss Sean Hannity GOOD BYE. Kiss Laura Ingrahm, Tammy Bruce, etc., GOOD BYE. Not that I’d mind kissing Laura, Tammy, and etc. — it just that I DO NOT want to kiss them GOOD BYE!

And kiss our host’s blog good bye, because the nutroots have already demanded re-imposition of the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE that will muzzle OUR talk radio voices. As the left doesn’t have one (Air(head) America is already in the graveyard), there will NOT BE A PLACE on the public’s radio spectrum for “right wingnut” radio. Period!

And given how much support BLOGS have given to politicians, especially rightwing blogs, watch “campaign finance reform” shut down all political blogs. They left won’t mind this either — they’ll still have the MAINSTREAM MEDIA to push the liberal agenda. But we will be silenced….

So, unless Michelle, Allahpundit, Byran, and Ian, have wonderful chocolate cookie recipes to share, OUR voices are going to be stifled. Because that’s all that the “new world order” is going to allow as everything else “political” WILL BE CONSIDERED UNDER CONTROL of McCain/Feingold II.

Don’t think this will happen? Think that Bush will veto them?

Guess again.

1. Bush MAY NOT be there — Conyers has already promised that the first order of business will be an impeachment resolution, despite what Pelosi says. While I do not think there will be enough votes to CONVICT and remove BUSH in the Senate, even one such attempt will turn his presidency into a dead (not even lame) duck in milliseconds.

2. Ah, but you say if they succeed, there will be President Cheney — providing that they don’t impeach and remove him FIRST. Hmm..

3. So guess who the new POTUS is? Can you spell P-E-L-O-S-I? I knew you could!

Okay, let’s assume that I am right and Bush doesn’t get kicked out.

There are “must pass bills” that WILL have these odious provisions embedded in them. Bush will almost certainly have to sign them or all government operations stop — ESPECIALLY the GLOBAL war on terrorism. And as far as “deadly assault weapons” are concerned, he’s already agreed to sign one if it reached his desk.

So, Freelancer, there is no silver lining. And given the fact that we are at war with an enemy that intends to destroy us — an enemy that the DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR EXISTANCE — these aren’t like other times.

Especially if Iran or North Korea gives a nuke to Al Qaeda and they detonate it in any one of our cities….

I am afraid, very afraid, for our country if AP’s ‘prediction’ that we lose the Senate as well comes true.

Just a couple of things – There is a lot more infighting among the Democrats then we hear about and all the new blood is that of moderate democrats.”

Before the election, Pelosi spoke about some of the things she intends to have accomplished. She did NOT inlcude all of her wish list for fear of a backlash.

What I listed are some of those hidden agenda items. They are logical and obvious to me.

As for Democrat infighting? The reason Pelosi created a 100 day (or was it a 100 HOUR?) legislative plan was to OVERCOME any “moderate” or “conservative” Democrat opposition. Party disclipline is at its highest in the weeks immediately after a new Congress is sworn in. The “mavericks” don’t have time to set up alliances and fight the speaker.

Pelosi’s intent is to

1. Give no time for the voters back home to call their representatives and object, giving the members (especially the Democrats) a reason to object.

2. Strike while the opposition (ideological and/or party) is unorganized and incapable of resistance.

3. Strike immediately after she is elected by the party members WHILE THEIR NATURAL ALLEGIENCE is still strong.

So, yes. Holy crap indeed.

America is going to be under the effective control of a party that DOES NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE that America is at war. They are going to go after Bush for spite and because they hate him. They are going to push their agenda through and then spend the next 1 year and 260 days going after George W. Bush and the Republican party to (a) drive him from office, if possible, (b) DESTROY his legacy — they remember how Reagan is fondly remembered and they have no intention of allowing that for Bush, and (c) set up for 2008 by giving the voters *2* YEARS of “BAD BUSH/BAD REPUBLICANS” and “REPUBLICANS LIED/INNOCENT IRAQI TERRORISTS DIED!!” messages.

The Democrats and the media are going to do EVERYTHING in their power to insure Democratic control of all 3 branches of government for the rest of the 21st Century and beyond.

They intend to reduce the Republican Party to having the effectiveness of the Whig Party, today — in other words, they intend to destroy their opposition, forever!

That’s us, in case you were wondering.
