"Republicans Blame Election Losses on Democrats"
Republicans Blame Election Losses On Democrats
November 7, 2006 | Issue 42•45


WASHINGTON, DC—Republican officials are blaming tonight's GOP losses on Democrats, who they claim have engaged in a wide variety of "aggressive, premeditated, anti-Republican campaigns" over the past six-to-18 months. "We have evidence of a well-organized, well-funded series of operations designed specifically to undermine our message, depict our past performance in a negative light, and drive Republicans out of office," said Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman, who accused an organization called the Democratic National Committee of spearheading the nationwide effort. "There are reports of television spots, print ads, even volunteers going door-to-door encouraging citizens to vote against us." Acknowledging that the "damage has already been done," Mehlman is seeking a promise from Democrats to never again engage in similar practices.

11. Actually it's more pathetic. And to think we let these people
get control of the U.S. government for awhile. Scary really.

13. Indeed!
How strange has our world become that we can read something like this and imagine the Pukes actually saying this?

Well, today my heart is lighter and I can again smile at their inanity. God (or who/whatever)Bless the Democrats!

8. So they lost because we campaigned better?
That's how it's supposed to work, I think. Of course, it's ignoring the things they did to lose voters, but they haven't admitted their failures yet, and I doubt they will until we see them in court.
