You gotta love Freeper political analysis. It's just now dawning on them that they may lose both houses of "congrss."

Yep! The only thing that will keep the dems from taking both Houses in November is to overplay it. We're fast approaching "Game - Set - Match."

3. And even more f**king imbecilic:

They'd rather NOT have a congress than to have one controlled by reasoning, thinking, non-imbreds.... :silly:

10. give them time, first crawl, then walk, finally one day maybe they
will learn to run. This is great on one hand for the entertainment value, on the other hand it is still sad because we know how far the taint stretches in DC.

7. "Overplay"
Edited on Wed May-24-06 06:11 PM by Tandalayo_Scheisskop
In fweepie parlance, it means to make any mention of it, no matter how veiled. Even ignoring it courts overplay. The only solution they might like is for the entire Democratic Leadership to jump to the defence of Hastert and, if he is convicted, serve his sentence for him.

6. Oh, my favorite is the one who says that Gingrich and Armey
were the moral compass:

Hastert was a crony that DeLay installed as Speaker. DeLay was the power behind all of these shady deals. It doesn't surprise me that Hastert got his hands dirty.

I didn't realize how devastating Newt's departure was in 1998. Newt kept DeLay and company in check. Once Newt (and finally Dick Armey) left the leadership, there was no moral compass to stop the government-by-lobbyist scheme of DeLay.

19. And then, the oblivious show up.
To: SolidSupplySide
IMO, DeLay wasn't in on any "deals." The Dems went after him because he was strong. Hastert is responsible for his own wrong actions, if there are any.

22. Truth be told, many of them would privately be relieved if the Democrats
took back Congress. They'd rather be out of power, complaining...knowing that the Democratic agenda would be better for them and their family. They like being in the Party of "rugged Reaganesque individualism", they just don't like the results of the policies so much.

25. Hmm, this guy actually makes an intelligent remark about Hastert letters
Edited on Thu May-25-06 06:12 AM by Leopolds Ghost
What a load of crap. Congressmen write letters to departmetns in the executive branch asking them to do all kinds of things.

The Executive department pays about as much attention to such letters as newpapers pay to letters to the editor.

It goes on all the time... A lobbyist goes to a congress critter and asks for a letter. The letter gets written and copy is shown to the lobbyists client.

The client thinks the lobbyist has big influence and pays the lobbyist big bucks.

Every congressman who has ever lived has written lots of letters to goverment agencies to ask them to do stuff. Not much of anyone pays any attention.

When I was young and quite naive I once asked a congressman to write a letter to the FCC asking them to grant me a Radio Station licence. He urged me not to have him do it. The congress critter said the chairman of the FCC did not like interference from Congress. If I wanted the congressman's help, he said it would be better if he wrote the FCC a letter demanding they turn me down.

Illegal influence does not get put on paper and get sent through the mail to make a permanent record. Everyone who has spent much time on capital hill should know that.

The way illegal stuff works is the congresscriter with enough clout tells the agency head their budget will get cut by a bunch unless X gets done for Y. It is never written on paper anywhere. X gets done for Y and the department budget gets its requested increase. There is no paper trail.

26. This guy has too much inside information to how corrupt the Repuke
Congress is.

My guess is "Common Tator" is either Newt Gingrich, Tony Snow, or Rush Limbaugh.
