		<description>I, too, am unwilling to write off the rethugs.

They never, ever, never stop going for the jugular.  They were a party of the dead who were brought back to life by the phoney-baloney tea party crap and, I can&#039;t even get started on, Glen Beck.

They are harping 24/7 about the dangers to the country being caused by   the muslim, nazi, radical marxist, socialist Obama and the left.

They have their minions worked up and frothing at the mouth - they will show up in droves to vote.

Will we?</description>

		<description>Oh, and I forgot the most important part.

After the GOP does win in Virginia, THAT&#039;s going to be THE NEWS all over the media for at least a week, probaly longer.  Gotta reinforce the idea that the GOP is still alive as much as they can, so they can in fact remain alive.  It&#039;s great when you own the media.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So try as hard as they can, the Thugs cannot generate the kind of votes they need to take critical elections.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

See Virginia, in two weeks.

And it partly be my fault I guess, cause I ain&#039;t voting for Deeds.  Just not gonna do it.  And this complete fundie, wingnut is going to be Governor of Virginia.

Bank on it.

The GOP is far from dead.  In fact, the latest &quot;generic&quot; Congressional polling I saw had them within 3 points of Democrats.

Write off the GOP at your own peril.</description>

		<description>Carnival barker Beck an Rush (for the money) Limbaugh are not journalist or commentators. They are leaders of the left behind and the right turn only set.</description>

		<description>The first problem the Republicons have is if they were ever honest about their true agenda, they&#039;d find themselves hanging from lampposts throughout the country. 

Eisenhower&#039;s Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, admitted:

&quot;... somehow we find it hard to sell our values, namely that the rich should plunder the poor.&quot;

William Kristol confirmed this much more recently when he said:

&quot;[Among conservatives] there&#039;s been too much pseudo-populism, almost too much concern and attention for, quote, &#039;the people&#039;.... After all, we conservatives are on the side of the lords and barons.... We...are pulling up the drawbridge against the peasants.&quot;

So, the Republicans are left with nothing to do but to engage in fearmongering, lie blatently about the intent of their legislation when in power, and use lies, slander, derision, and character assassination to try to make their opponents look as bad - if not worse - than they, themselves are.  

This usually works, because the Democrats have historically been far less willing to dive into the festering cesspool from which people like Karl Rove, Ken Melmann, the late Lee Atwater, and most of the current Republican leadership, pundits, talk-show hosts, and wackaloon websites and issues groups are so comfortably ensconced as they heave their buckets of steaming, liquid pig sh*t at anybody who dares to disagree with their radical and reactionary views, or dares to get in the way of their abject service to their plutocratic masters.</description>
