Bush and Rove Only Republicans Not Worried About November
2006 October 15
It seems that only Bush and Rove are not concerned about the outcome of the November election. I wonder what they know…..does it have to deal with the electronic voting machines and the ease to which they can be hacked?
Dan, Either that . . . or they have already captured Bin Laden and are waiting until just before the election to leak the news
Their time is running short to convince Americans. Be wary of the 21st of October. Apparently that’s their possible October Surprise.
the democrats need to stay simple and on message…”i know you’re used to voting for that guy, and like him as a person”- BUT, look at his record. and see him vote a straight ticket- year after year, mindlessly and blindly backing everything you despise or disagree with
No, not all of us are worried. Even if we do happen to lose “control” of the Hill, it’s not like we (the voters) ever truly had “control” to begin with.
These days it doesn’t really matter who is in office… they’re all cut from pretty much one side or the other of the same cloth.
Andrew,
that’s a good message to run on. That’s what Bob Casey is doing against Santorum here in Pennsylvania, and is working very well. I like Santorum’s passion—he presents himself well in debates—but man, the guy’s totally abrogated his Constitutional responsibility to hold the Executive branch in check!
Woody,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I don’t know that I agree about not mattering who is in office today. I would have agreed before the 2000 election. Since then, something has happened to Republicans. They have shifted to an extreme never before seen in America. While they are in power, Democrats have had to stay somehow in the middle, looking like flip-floppers, but the only way to convert Republicans and independents is to convince voters that Republicans’s portrayal of Democrats is not as stark and bad as Republicans would want voters to think.
One thing I will be glad for when Democrats come to power is that they can push legislation that is in dire need of passing: raising minimum wage, cutting spending to match the lower revenue from lower taxes so our national debt does not continue to rise, making our children pay for our gluttony.
