    What sort of Republican cheating do you believe took place?



    If Hillary ever moves back into the White House, you will have as houseguests myself and the Missus, as well as four cats and a retrieving dog.

    I am an ale buff, but would beg your expertise in learning the fineries of rampant consumption.

    Hillary really showed what she was made of this time around.

    A few facts:

    She deigned her Republican opponent not worthy of a debate, and did precious little campaigning, as to do so would have been seen as acknowledging her competitor, which she was not about to do; she treated the election as if she were running unopposed.

    She won by a ridiculous margin.




















    She still managed to spend $30 million on her re-election, which is some sort of record for an incumbent.
    Hilary sucks ass.
    That's a good start.

    Perhaps by '08 you will have learned the first entire first bar of the score, rather than just the first note...

    Saddam sentenced to be hung and the British terrorist sentenced to 40 years
    just before the elections. Too much of a coincidence methinks.

    Ooooh, you're right.

    Just think of the international complicity required.

    Damn Republicans-their popularity overseas cannot be denied.

    They are called puppets. Bush pulls the strings or moves his fingers according to which puppet. I use the word puppet as an all-encompassing term.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Gee, you mean the Iraqis really don't want to hang Saddam?

    I think the majority probably do.

    Not those who supported him when he was in power tho', obviously.

    Democrats control the House and Senate.

    George "Macaca" Allen conceded defeat and did not demand a recount.

    He bowed out rather graciously as well.

    Now all we need is a Democratic (or Independent) President to seal the deal in '08.

    Republicans had their chance and they severely mishandled the ball.

    I am liking the changes Nancy Pelosi wants to make. They are severely logical.

    Watch Mr. Smith Goes To Washington and The Distinguished Gentleman.

    She wants to...wait for it.....make it so Congressman can't receive gifts.

    She wants to piss of lobbyists and special interests.

    She wants to bring some integrity to congress (that's been sorely lacking).

    Hell I can't accept gifts from customers and I'm just a grunt tech.

    Why the hell should people that affect everyone's life be able to.

    While congress is at it, why not change that stupid fucking President pardoning crap?

    Put some logic in this shit. I can see pardoning for some death penalty cases (governors can do it) especially if the conviction was questionable but being able to pardon some rich fuck like Marc Rich is ridiculous.

    I also like the Republican (can't remember his name) that is spearheading the fight against earmarking funds for pork.

    He ran unopposed in his state (people probably like his common sense).

    I think you mean Tom Coburn (R-OK).

    I wonder why you couldn't remember his name?

    Cos' I couldn't. I don't know about his other views but this one that he spearheads is quite logical.

    Bridge To Nowhere anyone?

    Might I add that this affects the entire congress and not just Dems or Repubs.
