LOL! Listen to Freepers on why they lost and how they wish they'll win back Senate in '08...

[woldnewton]

To: "staytrue"

That's the winning attude this place needs!
We've really, really, got to get the message to all our candidates to go farther right. The cowards always think they have to go to the middle, but in the end, conservativeness always wins.

They lost this election because they went too far left in Washington. Even the democrats were running farther to the right than many of our people.

On edit -- another interesting tidbit. I just *had* to post this here...

"This, of course, presumes that our nation will survive that long. Given the encouragement the Democrats' victory gives to terrorists, and that party's unwillingness to oppose them, I wouldn't consider 2008 elections taking place to be a given."

[whistle]

1. They all have the madness of King George

[twilight_sailing]

2. Please do.

"We've really, really, got to get the message to all our candidates to go farther right."

Please, please, please.

[Zookeeper]

3. We can only hope they take his advice....

and we'll keep our new majority.

[texastoast]

4. That's Rove's M.O.

You see, the "middle" is relative to two finite points. Otherwise, there is no middle. If a nutjob like Rove is taking the right even farther, what happens to the middle? A lot of Dems fell right in line like Rove expected (while he laughed at them).

The fascists didn't win because the people spoke and said "enough." That's what old clueless staytrue doesn't get.

15. Actually, it was 'concerned about politics' who wrote that...

CAP was just responding to something some other Freeper weirdo named 'staytrue' posted.

Anyway, I'm also monitoring there look forward to 2008 chart of Dem senate seats they consider vulnerable (or far from it). Check it out...

Arkansas: Pryor (D) U

Delaware: Biden (D) K

Illinois: Durbin (D) K

Iowa: Harkin (D) K

Louisiana: Landrieu (D) P

Massachusetts: Kerry (D) K

Michigan: Levin (D) K

Montana: Baucus (D) U

New Jersey: Lautenberg (D) K

Rhode Island: Reed (D) K

South Dakota: Johnson (D) P

West Virginia: Rockefeller (D) K


Code:
U = Unlikely
P = Possible
K = Are you kidding me?


Meanwhile, here's their take on their own seats up for relection:

Wayne Allard - CO (very vulnerable)
Susan Collins - ME (likely safe)
Thad Cochran - MS (likely safe)
Elizabeth Dole - NC (possibly vulnerable)
Pete Domenici - NM (potential open seat, vulnerable)
Chuck Hagel - NE (likely safe)
James Inhome - OK (GOP advantage)
Pat Roberts - KA (vulnerable, if Dems recruit Sebelius)
Ted Stevens - AK (safe, as long as he lives)
John Warner - VA (very vulnerable, Mark Warner will run)
Lamar Alexander - TN (potentially vulnerable)
Saxby Chambliss - GA (likely safe)
Norm Colemans - MN (very vulnerable)
John Cornyn - TX (likely safe)
Lindsey Graham - SC (safe Republican)
Mitch McConnell - KY (GOP advantage)
Jeff Sessions - AL (likely safe)
Gordon Smith - OR (vulnerable -- it's Oregon)
John Sununu -- NH (very vulnerable -- NH trending badly)
Mike Enzi -- WY (likely safe)

5. Is "conservativeness" a word now?

nt.

[Ellis Wyatt]

6. parrotting

What Rush said yesterday.

If by "conservative" they mean fiscally, then sure they have a point. A lot of republicans and libertarians either sat home or voted out the republicans because Bush & Co have been absolutely atrocious on spending. The fiscal right hated the Drug Bill, and have hated the fact that while Clinton cut federal jobs by 200,000 during his term, Bush has increased them by 85,000.

If by "conservative" they mean: step up the hate on gays, immigrants, and women who get abortions, then wow, that's just frighteningly retarded.

[Penndems]

7. "We've really, really, got to get the message to all our candidates to go farther right"

Wow, they didn't learn anything Tuesday night, did they?

[Totally Committed]

8. Is "conservativeness" even a word?

But...: "Even the democrats were running farther to the right than many of our people." Jeezuss..... makes me shudder. Why? Because he's partly right... er, correct. But, not all the Democrats.

[Lochloosa]

13. Believe it or not....Yes

Con`serv´a`tive`ness
a. 1. The quality of being conservative.

9. The Dems were running further right than the Repukes???

Like Casey was further right than Santorum?

Like Nelson was further right than Harris?

Like Whitehouse was further right than Chafee?

Like Lamont was further right than Schlessinger?

Pah-leeeze! These people are absolutely insane. If nothing else, we won several key races by running moderates (i.e. Casey) against their right-wing nutbags (i.e. Santorum). We approached the center while the right pandered to their "base," and the right paid for it royally.

[lazyriver]

10. I have to wonder...

what color is the sky in their little bizzaro world?

[Ferret Annica]

11. Considering they will be defending 21 seats to the Democratic 12

the next election, they can dream, but it is delusion at best to think the Repugs will get the majority in either the House or Senate any time soon.

[AllegroRondo]

12. good point - which seats are up in 2008?

[Ferret Annica]

19. Here is an article about the upcoming Senate races:

[rep the dems]

21. I don't know a whole lot about most of our seats there, but

Durbin, Kerry, and Biden should have no trouble.

[Javaman]

14. So beyond fascism, what is further right than that? anyone? nt

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

16. The worst thing you can do to a minority hater

is put them in the minority.

[Rocknrule]

17. "In the end, conservativism wins"

Yea, like how conservatism "won" in 1944 Germany

[LeftishBrit]

18. Go further right????

How could they, without falling off the right-hand side of the world? Which they probably still do believe is flat.

[Az_lefty]

20. considering Genghis Khan is their role model, I'm not surprised at this

their going to get clobbered again in 08'

[Renew Deal]

22. To the right of Santorum and Hayworth?

Go for it.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

23. I'm not sure where 'farther right' will be

Mandatory executions for not doing it in the missionary position?
Being arrested for not having a Bible when a police officer stops you?
Women banned from voting, and a wealth/property qualification for voting rights?
Life imprisonment and huge fines for accidentally seeing a titty?

[Arugula Latte]

24. Yes -- "Hitleresque" should be the Republican goal, Freeps. Good strategy there!
