FOX NEWS throwing in the towel?
On tonight's "Special Report" panel, they seem to be coming up with excuses as to why, if the Democrats win, "it won't be a mandate".

1. Whenever we win...
They NEVER think we have a mandate. Not even when we had the first two-term Dem. president since Harry Truman...so, what be their excuses this time? :eyes:

B-)

2. It is only a mandate when the GOP wins
Since so many of them are secretly dating men.

3. If the numbers warrent it...

4. Fox RW fake "News" for morons looking for lame excuses
Fox makes me think of what pure evil would do if it could have a TV station.

5. What's fascinating to me
is that, with all the numbers being thrown around (20 seats, 30 seats, 50 seats, etc.), if the Dems take the Majority by, say, 15 or 17 or 19, the MSM will crow about how it's a great disappointment that we didn't win by more. And, because of that, we must be in worse shape than people realize.

Doesn't matter, of course. They can have their precious talking points while we have the ability to set the course for our Country and investigate that which sorely needs investigating.

7. I say we stick with the Bush Doctrine here. 51% is a mandate.
Cope with it, Fox.

11. How come Haggard had to pay $200
for his mandate and Bush got his for free?
How much does Jeff Gannon charge, anyway?

I hope they have LOTS of them to minimize.

12. Well, they're right, you know.
A mandate is only when you get 50.01 percent of the vote. Getting 65% of the vote is nowhere near that figure! :evilgrin:

15. The rev says he just took Meth(whatever that is)

I haven't exactly been sheltered but I really don't know what "meth" is unless I had the inclination to google it.

17. George W Bush had a "mandate" even though Gore got 500,000 more votes..
So I guess it's a mandate if the Democrats call it a mandate. Sorry.

19. I was lurking among the cesspool tonight, and I've never seen anything like it
They're pretty despondent. For the first time ever, literally, I've never seen any of them spout anything but delusional "The democrats are so over!" stuff. Tonight, several of them are admitting next week is going to be bad. It's all over the place. They'll be jumping off tall buildings by Tuesday.

20. I heard Falwell on CNN yesterday say Tuesday will be a BLOODBATH ....




for the GOP.



So it's got to be really bad if he will say something like that in front of a camera.

22. NO They are not...They did the same in 04.
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 10:02 AM by Armstead
They did the same thing in the days before the 04 election regarding a Kerry victory.

I caught a few minutes of their morning shgow and they were going after the Democrats with hammer and tong, claiming that the terrorists were endorsing Democrats.
