I am a little worried that there's so much talk about 2008 when the 110th |
|
hasn't even seated itself yet. More talk here and on Cabal News about who's running for prez than how to extricate the US from the disastrous state the GOP has placed us in.
Focus. Let's get the country back on its feet, and WHOEVER we nominate will win in 08

1. Thank you for that post |
|
For a Bears fan, you make sense. But really, it's still too damn early to worry about '08 just yet. The Congress has a lot of work to do.

3. I can understand MSRNC and ConNN and FauxNews wanting to |
|
talk about 2008 - their boys have had a very bad year. But we should be focussed on getting the new Congress to do what we were hoping for when we elected them - fix the mess that BushCo has wrought.

4. That's EXACTLY why they're doing it |
|
Notice most of their talk is either "____ Democrat has no chance" or "_____ Republican could be a strong candidate." It's all about pretending the catastrophic losses in 2006 didn't happen and pretending that the country didn't just reject the GOP en masse.

2. I'll be worried if this continues after January |
|
But until then, 08 is just easy filler for the lazy MSM.

that presidential campaigns keep starting earlier and earlier. I mean, Bill Clinton didn't announce his candidacy till October 1991, a mere 13 months before the election. The MSM also is filling a news void before the next Congress begins.

6. I think it's just because outside of |
|
* foibles there isn't that much else going on. Congress isn't in session and there are dems announcing so people here and on the corporate media talk about them. Once our Congress gets going with investigations and hearings candidates will be put aside for a while.

8. Part of us is soooo happy to have taken the Congress and Senate |
|
that we can just taste a Democratic Presidency. It is just excitement for the day when Bush and his failed presidency is nothing more than a bad memory.

9. they're just trying to create a distraction........ |
|
especially cable news.....they'd rather talk about a future republican win than talk about the democrat's successes now.
