<< HILTON FOR MILTON? ~ MAIN ~ THIRD BUSH TERM DOOMED >>
MIKE’S MOMENT
Michael Moore rejoices:
You did it! We did it! The impossible has happened: A majority of Americans have soundly and forcefully removed Bush’s party from control of the House of Representatives. And, sometime today perhaps, we may learn that the same miracle has happened in the Senate. Whatever the outcome, the American people have made two things crystal clear: End this war, and stop Mr. Bush from doing any more damage to this country we love. That is what this election was about. Nothing else. Just that. And it’s a message that has sent shock waves throughout Washington—and a note of hope around this troubled world ...
I can’t tell you how proud I am to count all of you as part of the greater American mainstream we now occupy.
Moore featured barely at all in this election, which may explain Democrat gains. Do enjoy his photo gallery of broom Americans. Over at Daily Kos, Lamont-supporting Koslims were excited prior to polling by a ballot they believed would handicap Joe Lieberman:
People report it is even harder than they thought to find Joe Lieberman on the ballot. One correspondent: “You’d have to be stupid to vote for Lieberman. And then they make it hard for stupid people to find him. It’s not fair!”
Ex-Democrat Lieberman, running as an independent, won easily.
The Broom people are required to sweep up the crumbs from Moore’s last meal.

But with the majority the Repub’s have had for the last 6 years they really probably should have achieved slightly more… I sometimes think Howard here in Oz could have been a bit bigger in his thinking with the majorities he has had and weak oppositions…
If Bush thought the last 5-6 years have been tough (and they look like they have aged him quite a bit), the next couple could be doozies!!! :o)
As someone said—if the bright spot of this election for Republicans is that Joe Lieberman was re-elected things did not go well.
Still, the glass-half-empty for Dems was Mickey Kaus’ quip “What does it tell you about a political party if in a year of epic disaster for their opponents the best they can hope for is a 51-49 majority in the Senate?”Posted by Jim,MtnViewCA,USA on 2006 11 08 at 09:59 AM • permalinkThe pundits (especially those on the left) seem to think that every US election in recent years is some sort of significant portent for the future. The Republicans staying in power for a while means that America has gone fundamentally conservative. Or the Democrats geting back in means that the public is overwhelmingly anti-war. And so on.
The fact is that, as in many Western countries, no one governemnt tends to stay in power for too long. And there’s a fairly even Republican-Democrat split amongst the US public, so small shifts in opinion can see a government turfed out. Plus people eventually get sick of even the best politicans after a couple of terms.

And then what Mikey? Then what? Whacha goin do when the terrorists declare victory and bring the war to the US and the West? When they begin blowing up buildings and shopping markets? When the streets run wet with blood? Then what?
Nothing. That’s all you ever do to remove a problem. Bitch, moan, and do nothing. You’re fat and feckless and very much inconsequential. You should be institutionalized.

not because…
o/t Three men (one named Mustaq and two brothers named Shahid) have been found
guilty of the racially motivated murder
of a 15 year old White Glasgow Schoolboy.(the men were in their thirties.)
Mustaq and the Shahid brothers who fled to Pakistan after the murder -denied the charges.
The boy was abducted and taken on a terrifying 200 mile journey across Scotland.
The boy was stabbed 13 times and then doused in petrol and set on fire while still alive (he was found dumped with 70% burns).Two other men had also been charged, one who was sentenced to five years for abducting the boy.
This story was on BBc U.K. Page not WORLD.
link on the same page to “Islamic Relief”.
Thanks BBC.Now we have to work with the new majority. It sucks but that is the hand we have been dealt. Our only real option is to pick off some of the less insane ones on important issues like the war. Everything else is secondary-the President’s first call today should be to Lieberman, then Gene Taylor, Ike Skelton, John Spratt and so on down the line. It’s not going to be easy to pick off the 15 or so we need to maintain the war effort, but we have to make it our highest priority-the moonbats will be pressing the new House leadership to retreat and surrender.
Wait a minute! I thought Bushitler was running a dictatorship here. Everybody (the BBC, the Guardian) said so. So how did all these broom-waving people manage to elect so many Democrats, especially since the election was all set to be stolen? I demand answers!
It will be hard to listen to the sanity-challenged crow about their victories, but that won’t last long. The Democrats and their nutroots base have to put up or shut up now, and that’s going to be a lot tougher than they realize.
What Mikey and the rest of the moonbats want is an American defeat in Iraq and the end of America as a superpower and the end of her influence on the world. Period. As long as what follows is anti-capitalist and anti-American they’re fine with it. The left has never care about freedom. Ever.
Posted by Mark Razak on 2006 11 08 at 10:49 AM • permalinkThere’s still a chance Moore will strangle tonight with a chicken leg lodged in his throat from his celebratory bucket of the Colonel’s finest…
What? Can’t a fella can dream?
I’ll bet anyone $100 (US) that me and my unit will still be in Iraq for the remainder of our tour. As we should be. The Dems have been woofing the we’ll pull out now lie more than a teenager in hormonal rage on Friday night, and its BS. Their exit strategy will be as it already is: We leave when Iraq can go it alone. Any other is impossible.
I’m with you, Texas Bob. It’s one thing to be sitting on the side lines, flinging poo, just to entertain the nutroots. It’s another thing to be in charge, and listening to everyone.
The Dems will dance the tune, however ungraciously. I expect Kos and the rest of the loonie left to turn on those who do so, the same as they did to Lieberman.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2006 11 08 at 11:17 AM • permalinkNow I usually leave threads about other folks’ elections alone, but considering I voted for the ‘67 Corvette Stingray (cheers again Wron), I almost wish these lefty fucks got what they wanted.
If the States suddenly lost its global power, you could kiss the USD value goodbye. No more cheap consumer goods imported from whereverstan.
Now while this would actually reduce the cost of a new V8 Holden (Chevy engine, with German 6 speed, I LOVE this country) here in WOZ, it would royaly fuck almost every American, especially lefties, coz they wouldn’t buy American if their smelly lives depended on it.
Reminds me of that song where the roof was on fire, and the folks didnt care…

Why o why hasn’t this last line applied to that drunken, disgrace of a senator from Massachusetts yet!!!!!
Wait, you qualified it with the term “best” politicians… Although did I read somewhere John Kerry labled him the greatest Senator or something????
Tex, I’d take that bet on the grounds I’d like to see all soldiers on our side home with their loved ones for Christmas, except for the fact that I believe in your mission and wish Iraq a secure and peaceful future.
Oh, and I refuse to bet on lost causes…
Posted by The_Wizard_of_WOZ on 2006 11 08 at 11:25 AM • permalinkTexas Bob and TRJS, I hope you’re right. Not because I want our troops to stay in Iraq, I’d give anything if we could bring them home tomorrow. But because if we leave now, Ira all the sacrifice was for nothing, and we would be in greater danger here at home as never before. I hope that our new “Democratic overlords” have the common sense to realize that.
It won’t last long when they actually have to do things, so let’s not deny Mike his moment blocking the sun.

You make it obvious why the US has grown as strong as it has and still has potential for the future. It’s the folks you represent that get things done and have the iron and grit to hold the line in hard times that made us and keeps us.
But, I do suspect, and fear, that you and those with you will be on the recieving end of more jihadi recruits and deeper pools of cash flowing in to fight against you.
This election will be taken as a sign of weakness. The enemy has been taught that Americans will quickly grow tired and quit the fight, even when winning. This will be spun to read for that script and encourage those that want us all dead or subjugated.
Michael Moore is a flipping idiot. Someone already noted his “impossible” comment. Just when I think this guy can’t possibly say something dumber than he already has. What the @#$% is so impossible about one party or another winning a regularly scheduled election?
The good news about this is that we won’t have to listen to two months of lawyers complaining about voter fraud, polling irregularities, and disenfranchised minorities. For some reason, that never happens when Democrats win. Just like nobody cared about “peace” when Bill Clinton dropped bombs. When George Bush does it, he’s a war criminal.
Posted by EmilyJones on 2006 11 08 at 01:09 PM • permalinkTexas Bob, I hope you are right, but I see a Viet Nam rerun right around the corner—hoping to be proven terribly wrong. We’ll see. They only have two years, after all.
I must admit that, on the one hand, it is very refreshing to have a losing party that isn’t swooning on their way to the couch or drug store. Perhaps it is because we know that there will be the next election—despite the fact that Bushitler has suspended the Constitution, axed all of our rights, and turned the country into the worst dictatorship since Hitler (always giving a pass to Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Saddam, and others).
I’m sorry, perhaps I’m just shortsighted since I’m an Aussie not an American, but—- WTH is so different about this election? No matter who is in power, people eventually get pissed off with them and vote for the other side, if for no other reason than “a change” or “to keep the bastards honest”. It was, surely, pretty predictable after such a length of time in power that, sooner or later, American people were going to say, “OK ... everybody outta the pool!” Can’t see any “miracles” in there, Moore, you sad and sorry fat sack of sh ...—or anything worth “gloating” over either. Once in power, politics and idealism inevitably and invariably give ground to pragmatism.
Why, why, WHY must Leftards be so goddamn dramatic?
because it’s all about them. It’s ALWAYS about them.
That’s why they’re embracing global warming now the way they embraced nuclear armageddon in the 80’s. They can’t accept that the world will continue when they’re gone…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 11 08 at 09:22 PM • permalinkI can’t understand Moore’s continuing appeal to the supposedly avant-garde, irony-packed progressives. Do they really stop in mid-sneer, black-nailpolished pinkies raised as they hold their doubleshot espressos (with a twist of lemon!) in the air, to applaud (with finger snaps, like old beatniks) this smarmy grandma’s eructations, which sound like they came straight out of a fifties-era instructional short on how to behave when visiting your elderly relatives? If you go to his website the smell of mothballs wafts from the computer, I swear to God.

And this time next week American troops will still be in Iraq - as they should be, along with the Brits and the Aussies.
