Repub. Pollster: "Worst political environment for Republican candidates since Watergate"
From New York Times cover article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/05/us/politics/05elect.html?hp&ex=1162702800&en=2053acbcb6f551e1&ei=5094&partner=homepage

“It’s the worst political environment for Republican candidates since Watergate,” said Glen Bolger, a Republican pollster working in many of the top races this year.

Joe Gaylord, who was the political lieutenant to Newt Gingrich when he led the Republican takeover of the House in 1994, said that based on polling he had seen in recent weeks, he expected his party to lose 25 seats to 30 seats on Tuesday. That general assessment was repeatedly echoed in interviews with Republicans close to the White House and the Republican National Committee.

“It’s very grim,” Mr. Gaylord said. “Things are dreadful out there.”

3. Hello?! Since Watergate or Including Watergate?
I seriously cannot imagine it worse. The party is riddled with indicted and convicted criminals of the most heinous sort.

I saw a Katherine Harris sign go up in my neighborhood overnight and quite honestly wondered about the sanity of the people who inhabit that house. Major disconnect from reality if you can seriously support Crazy Cat.

4. I predict it will be far worse for them in 2008.
By then, the depth of their treason will have been investigated by congress. Not completely, that will take much longer. But enough to expose their treason so that most Americans will know what we already know.

5. I won't dance on their graves, I just want justice.
The treason and the crimes that have been commited are of the worst possibe kind. What's even worse though, IMO is that the MSM has gone along with them this whole time, by not covering the worst debacle in American history.

It is all just so horrific, it's just amazing. Why has the media given them a free pass???

I pray the Democratic leadership will issue subpoenas. I really do. Anyone who's paying attention really should be outraged.

7. Yup....and they know it. It's literally a fight to the death.
They'll be spending millions trying to get elections overturned. Not because they are passionate about their political philosophy, either. It's a little baser than that. It's about the serious crimes that these rotten bastards have committed against this country. There's a fine line between their criminal acts and treason. I'm fully expecting dimes to drop all over Washington once we take control of the House and supeonas are issued.l.
