Washington Journal: Here we go!!

[malaise]

Can't wait for the weeping and gnashing of Freepers!!

[Skidmore]

1. Maybe they'll be under barstools and we can have a morning

in which to greet the dawn in style and peace.

[Gin]

2. is it possible that the Abrahmoff investigations could bring down

more rethug Senators?

[acmejack]

3. We can but hope.

I see Rahm's golden child lost. Edit: Tammy Duckworth, I hope it was worth slapping the grassroots & progressives in the face like he did.

[sendero]

9. You noticed that too..

... well at least Brown won.

[sandnsea]

11. I noticed Lamont lost

I hope it was worth slapping the centrist Democrats, who've donated time and money for 20 years, in the face.

Why can't there be one day without this petty name calling.

[riderinthestorm]

31. I'm grassroots and progressive. And I worked my ass off for Tammy's campaign

Please give me a fucking break. I will never for one moment believe that Christine could have done better than Tammy in this red fundy hell.

Lay the fuck off. Some of us picked ourselves up after Christine lost, and got behind the Dem who won. Tammy ran a great campaign and I dare you to say differently. This however is Dupage Fucking County and it's just a fucking miracle it's even purple at this point.

Just. lay. off.

[KharmaTrain]

33. Cegalis Wouldn't Have Done 40%

I supported Diane during the primaries, but Duckworth put up a valiant fight against lots of money and slime. I'm firmly convinced the non-stop Rovo-calling did enough to supress and confuse enough votes to make the difference. Hastert spent $10 million to win two seasts and barely won one.

Duckworth is positioned for a rematch in '08. While I would prefer more Progressive candidates in this area, there would be no way Cegalis would have beaten RoScum. I've lived in this area for 25 years and am grateful to see the Democrats getting stronger and stronger here.

What would be even nicer if the state legislature takes a page from the Texas book and redraws the districts before 2008. Make it not only easier to witn the 6th, 8th, 10th and 11th but also make it possible for more Progressive candidates to run in those districts.

Rahm's a bastard, but he's the 900 pound gorilla now. Be assured he's gonna come back for another shot at Roscum and Hastert.

[malaise]

4. Quite possible

Damn the Freepers really don't know when to STFU.

[Skidmore]

5. Here we go...godless one party government.

Did she forget that * is still there?

[halobeam]

6. LOL!!

:rofl:

[malaise]

7. What a moran n/t

[blogslut]

8. Cute how the host

...is challenging the Dem callers. Who is your Representative? Trying to slip the caller up. I don't watch this guy much. Is he always like that?

[malaise]

10. I thought he was offensive when

a caller said I'm so hapy and he said Why? Fugg him too. I'm very happy.

[Cha]

32. "Happy!" Because there's a chance

our country isn't going to go down in the toilet with the bushits NOW!

It's a damn good start! If someone is too dense to know then let them have it with the truth!

[H2O Man]

12. I think that

our republican neighbors sound a tad bit bitter.

[ClintonTyree]

13. We're all going to die!

:eyes: Yes, we're going to just lay down and let every terrorist into the country to slit the throats of Americans. And we're going to raise everyone's taxes, especially the middle class. We're going to teach Homosexuality 101 in every American school and make even the mention of God a felony.

Yep, the radical "Liberal" agenda is on the front burner now, America. You might as well get in the toilet paper line while you can, rampant communism is finally here. :sarcasm:

These people have been so brainwashed by the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity and O'Rielly that they have no idea what the issues really are and how to handle them. They're in full panic mode. Bush's campaigning didn't help that. He make it quite clear to the wing-nuts that a vote for Democrats meant a vote for terror, high taxes and hot man-on-man sex. The sad thing is that these people BELIEVE this alarmist crap! They stopped thinking for themselves long ago, so now they're a rudderless, captain-less ship in uncharted waters.
Perhaps they'll start thinking for themselves again, that would be nice, but somehow I doubt it. They'll keep looking until another fundamentalist, strict disciplinarian RepubliCON comes along and does their thinking for them again. Then they'll feel safe. Safe from thought, safe from decision making, safe from having to do anything but donate money and push the (R) button every year.

[A wise Man]

18. They've had the house, the senate

the pres. and the judiciary. They've driven this country in the ground allowing this pres. to get 2,000 plus troops killed an a lie. They've done absolutely nothing about the economy or the citizens of this country. Everything was about corporate interest and the hell with us. They've filled their pockets with enormous bounty while still believing Iraq had something to do with 9/11.Now they are angry because they can't continue to rob this country anymore. Totally amazing bunch of beings they are.

[Cass]

35. You are so right on with your post. Excellent analysis.

:thumbsup:

[sampsonblk]

14. Fill your cellars!

My favorite call so far:

"This is just what the terrorists wanted... All I can say is I hope all of you have your cellars well stocked. Because the terrorists are coming after us now!"

[H2O Man]

15. That was pathetic. n/t

[Tesha]

16. Well, we have some drinkable wines, but nothing fancy: We're Democrats.

> All I can say is I hope all of you have your cellars well stocked.

Well, we have some drinkable wines, but nothing fancy: We're Democrats.

Tesha

[Habibi]

34. Heh. I'm going to use that line the next time

we have dinner guests. It's pretty much true!

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Let Them Come!

I'll fight them here. I don't need to "fight them over there". I, unlike people like that idiot caller, am not a coward.
The Professor

[mikeytherat]

20. I'm with you, Prof. Bring it on. C'mon, boys - bring it.

Well? I'm waiting...

mikey_the_rat

[ProfessorGAC]

Triplcate Post?

Weird

[ProfessorGAC]

22. "Don't Sing It"

The terrorists had a FIELD DAY WITH THE REPUBS IN COMPLETE CONTROL! Right now, the terrorists are thinking "Uh Oh! Now what?" The last thing Al Qaida wanted was for Silverspoon to lose some of his death grip on power. They liked having an out of control, and unrestrained idiot in charge.

Goerge Bush was Al Qaida's best friend!
The Professor

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Sorry

.

[baldguy]

19. 'puke from CO: "If you think those a-rabs - uh...TERRORISTS

are going to use that oil for *social programs* and not weapons to light up a couple American cites - and I'm going to invest in companies that make body bags so I can make a lot of money."

[BigMcLargehuge]

21. OMG, this has been hilarious this morning

We've got three open lines today -

Democrat Callers
Republican Callers
Batshit Insane Callers

The guy from West Virginia had me doubled over with laughter.

[malaise]

25. The batshit insane

are seriously sick.

[BigMcLargehuge]

26. I keep thinking "this HAS to be a crank call..."

and it ISN'T...

:rofl:

[Tesha]

29. Maybe Democrats can improve mental health care in this country?

"Just put down the phone and step away from the TV, madam."

Tesha

[Obsolete]

24. Another caller saying...

Be prepared for taxes to be raised and cities to be "lighted up" ! :nuke: :rofl:

[ProfessorGAC]

27. Then Bush Will Have Failed.

So, now the all powerful, unitary executive, Li'l Georgie Bush, will be unable to protect the country, which they said is the first job of the gov't. So, if the cities get lit up, it will prove that his entire strategy was a failure.

Happy now, you conservative buffoon?
The Professor

[baldguy]

28. "With the Democrats in charge, the terrorists will light up American cities."

Second time I've heard that this morning. New RW talking point?

[Obsolete]

30. somehow, 9/11/01 wasn't under Bush's watch

I like the call from the Repub earlier who said that Bush has protected us from terrorists (well, if you don't count 9/11) and the terrorists were running wild under Clinton. :eyes:
