When you don’t do your job, you get fired. Iraq is a mess because of Rumsfelds incompetence. The generals there are inco mpetent as well. And Bush is disgusting.
He said F you to his conservative base……and he screwed them by not firing Rummy two months ago.
Bush is a closet democrat.

No, no, no. We don’t want him. This Gates thing is interesting–he is completely Scowcroft’s boy. So with Baker guiding Iraq policy, I guess Poppy is getting his second term. Daaaaddddd……

Compito difficile, direi ingrato. Difendere Donald Rumsfeld oggi è forse la cosa meno simpatica che si possa fare. Se c’è un vero sconfitto di queste mid term-elections è proprio lui. Specialmente gli osservatori internazionali (europei) hanno…

I needed that. Y’all rock!

As I predicted, we conservative are about to “get it,” — only without any vaseline or rubber gloves….

A National Momentum Shift: Supporters of Common Sense Gun Laws Win Races From Coast to Coast

Over 95 Percent of Brady-Backed Candidates Victorious

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 /U.S. Newswire/ — In election races across the country yesterday, candidates who support strengthening America’s gun laws to fight gun violence defeated candidates backed by the gun lobby in U.S. Senate, U.S. House, gubernatorial and other statewide races and a number of high-profile state legislative races. The results should have a profound impact on the ability to fight illegal gun trafficking and gun violence in the coming years.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence won five out of five races for Governor and four out of four races for the U.S. Senate in which the group endorsed and went head to head with National Rifle Association endorsed candidates. In all, the Brady Campaign appears to have won 95 percent of the races where it endorsed candidates. In the U.S. House, it appears some 109 candidates either endorsed or A rated by the National Rifle Association went down to defeat, along with 18 candidates for U.S. Senate.

The shift in control of the U.S. House of Representatives, coupled with a U.S. Senate that will either see a control shift or be exceptionally close, will make it hard for the gun lobby to weaken gun laws and creates opportunities for passage of common sense gun proposals, according to Brady officials.

“In this election, the gun issue was in play, gun violence prevention groups won while the gun pushers lost, and there is now a shift in momentum on the issue of common sense gun restrictions,” said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

At least four of six U.S. Senate candidates that the NRA spent more than $1 million in total trying to re-elect went down to defeat, and the other two are losing. On the other hand, supporters of common sense gun laws in the Senate, like Dianne Feinstein, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Edward Kennedy, Deborah Stabenow and Richard Lugar were reelected handily.

In multiple key battles for Congressional seats supporters of tougher gun laws won, including Pennsylvania’s Joe Sestak, Ohio’s Betty Sutton and Colorado’s Ed Perlmutter. “I’m so grateful to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence for supporting me early on,”
Perlmutter said. “Not only did they help me win my primary, they’ve helped bring the issue of gun violence front and center in Colorado’s 7th district.”

The gun lobby lost key Gubernatorial fights where the candidates waged brutal policy battles publicly over guns in Illinois, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. It lost Governors’ mansions in other states as well, including Massachusetts, Maryland, New York and Colorado, where victors Deval Patrick, Martin O’Malley, Elliott Spitzer and Bill Ritter proudly accepted the Brady Campaign endorsement.

The NRA lost races in which it endorsed candidates many months ago, as well as at least one major race where it made its endorsement literally at the last minute. Gov. Bob Ehrlich of Maryland received the NRA’s endorsement some time between midnight Monday, Nov. 6 and
11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7 — and then lost to Baltimore Mayor Martin O’Malley anyway. O’Malley strongly supports passing a state assault weapons ban.

In New York State, a longtime leader in the fight to pass tougher gun laws returned to public office, as former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Andrew Cuomo crushed his opponent to be elected Attorney General. Appearing with Cuomo in New York last week to deliver the Brady Campaign’s endorsement, Helmke said, “rarely in the history of the gun violence prevention movement has there been a candidate for public office who has so thoroughly earned the movement’s support.” In California, former Governor and former Mayor of Oakland Jerry Brown, who aggressively challenged his NRA-backed opponent on the gun issue, was easily elected Attorney General.
Martha Coakley, endorsed personally by Helmke in Boston last week, was elected Attorney General in Massachusetts.

In state legislative races, the trend continued. In Maryland, Jim Rosapepe unseated State Sen. John Giannetti, who single- handedly blocked the state legislature from passing an assault weapons ban. “I couldn’t have won this race without the help of Sarah and Jim Brady and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence,” Rosapepe said. Brady backed candidates lead in a number of other races that have not yet been called.

In some contests, the message from the voters on whether they favor tougher gun laws was quite unambiguous and specific. In Cook County, Ill., voters were asked whether they believe the State Legislatures should pass a ban on military-style assault weapons. The referendum passed with approximately 78 percent of the vote.

Bush: “Hello?”

Pelosi: “We won. Big time.”

Bush: “Yes, I know.”

Pelosi: “So now I get to ask for favors, Chimpy McHalliburton.”

Bush: “I suppose, you old Commie hag.”

Pelosi: “Bring me the head of Donald Rumsfeld on a platter.”

Bush: “Fine, but you leave Condi alone.”

Pelosi: “Rove?”

Bush: “Nope.”

Pelosi: “Cheney?”

Bush: “Nice try.”

Pelosi: “Okay, we’ll settle for Rummy, but the Nutroots will be upset with us.”

Bush: “That’s your problem.”

Pelosi: “Hang on…someone wants to talk.”

Howard Dean: “Yaaaaahhhhhhh!”

*Bush hangs up*

Pelosi: “Are you still there Chimpy? George? Mr. Bush?”

Keith Olbermann: “This was as good as I expected it to be.”

Pelosi: “We’re done with you. Go away.”

Dean (Howard): “We’re going to take Virginia, then Montana, then…Yaaaaahhhhh!”

Dean (Esmay): “Muslims are our friends!”

Pelosi: “Oh, dear God!”

Sec Rumsfeld took away the Demcrats ability to demonize him and through him the Administration and the military and the troops he so deeply cared about.

Rather than give them a pretext for seizing the initiatve, Rumsfeld took away the Democrats ability to distract the American people from the position are troops are in and their all important mission.

Hopefully thet’ll pick Condi as his replacement.

I used to think this until I discovered Condi doesn’t have a problem with the current immigration problems. Nope, I won’t vote for her.

Charles Shumer just said on O’Reilly that if Rumsfeld had resigned before the election the Republicans would have held the Congress.

Piss on Shumer. If Rumsfeld had been fired before the election, the dems would have found some way to define it as a stunt.

I don’t buy this “fire Rummy, win Congress” crap.

The Dems won:

1 – Because the dems who picked up seats ran heavy right, and/or preteneded to by republican.

This new term of “Bue Dogs” is bogus. Try “bait and switch democrat.”

2 – Because people are flat out dumb enough to believe the clap-trap the Dems have been pushing since Algore lost.

All the bushmchilterchimpy BS doesn’t hold water around here, but we pay attention. People who don’t keep up with events can’t/don’t/won’t see behind the green curtain, and they still think CNN, NYT and the AP are repsectable.

Not to say that a goodly number of reps didn’t deserve to get ousted by running crappy campaigns, but, the American public, by and large, have no idea what’s going on. They just lemminged their way to the polls and clicked “D” because, for the most part, that’s all they hear in the media.

Ask one person who voted democrat what is the difference between Hamas and Hezbollah, .. just one. Ask them who the AQ #2 is. Ask them anything even remotely related to the GWOT and I betcha’ you get a blank stare.

Maybe this will all work out for the best, but if it does it’s DESPITE the dems, not because of them.

And a**holes like Shumer giving hindsight advice is just stupid.

Rummy doesn’t deserve the lynching he’s getting. He did a heck of a job. And had anyone reproted it properly, people would know that.

Big apologies for the rant, but I don’t see this as a mandate of the people as much as I see it as the public just got f’d in the A by a bunch of slight-of-hand artists.

…I cock my head to hear a yawn from the Republican base….

Alot of great conservatives worked at the grass roots level to energize the base, and the message they received was screw you! Well, good luck in getting those hard working conservatives back to assist in the 08 elections. Maybe the stay at home conservatives will offer to volunteer, but I doubt it. :oP

Hilary in 08!

I’m not sure this is even worth the effort, but here goes…

DannoJyd, I was one of the cogs in Karl Rove’s GOTV machine here in Florida. When central Florida proved insufficiently exciting, we received orders to call FL District 16 to tell folks to “Punch Foley for Joe Negron!” I spoke to many voters who were motivated to vote for Joe Negron, but thought they had to do a write-in or something. So, I personally made a difference in a few votes. Not enough, as it turned out, but I’m still glad I made the effort.

My motivation in ’08 will be …. to do more to help Reagan conservatives. I hope you’ll join us.
