Oliver, if you care about good government, you might want to pay attention to who is going to be in the Democratic leadership.

If you don’t hold the Democrats’ feet to the fire, they’ll disappoint you. And your response to the Murtha-Hoyer race seems to basically be, “I’m going to stop paying attention now”.

Say it ain’t so!

Last week I got to hear the regurgitated lies of neocon talk show hosts like how Clinton did more damage to the military than any other president, how Kerry hated the military, etc. After the "terrorist message" last week, I'll get to hear about how much Al Queda was happy that democrats had won:

The American people have put their feet at the beginning of the right path to save themselves from their predicament, and they have begun to realize the treachery and subservience of their president and his clique to Israel. Thus, they voted with some sense in their latest elections. ...Are they going to redress the huge deficit of budget, which was wasted away in a stupid losing war? Will they realize that the tax payers are actually paying the price for the bullet with which their sons are killed in the quagmire of Iraq?

When did terrorists become economic experts and physical conservatives? The so-called conservatives think only neo-con republicans are patriotic and the only ones who can fight terrorism and protect America. It's too bad they are buying this hook like and sinker. The only hope is there is enough sane Americans to recognize the difference and keep these maniacs out of power.

A republican friend of mine said that nationally the 2006 vote was trending GOP in the final days, thanks to the hoopla over the dumb Kerry joke, and he went on to lament the firing of Rumsfeld after the election. He actually thought it would have scored political points for the Repubs to have removed the R-feld prior to 7 Nov. I don’t know how these people get themselves so out of touch. Again, I hope the GOP never starts questioning their policies.

I hope the GOP is able to see what is clearly obvious —that the Rupublicans lost because they were not conservative enough. It may just be spin (or denial that the voting public gave the party the proverbial finger), but it’s interesting how the policies they trumpeted in past elections are suddenly no longer conservative polices when their party loses.

It’s okay if they want to spend the next couple of decades doing everything wrong because they think they didn’t do it wrong enough. I’m fine with that!

When boy wonder came in there were the reports of the mythical W’s missing on all the keyboards in the White House.

Now in the last 6 years these bastards ripped apart the motherboard of the entire government. But somehow the CPU is still (mal) functioning.

Yeah, there’s a lot to do.

I saw FOX pushing Michael Steele as Mehlman’s replacement.

“…if these nutcases go around a little more to the right they’ll have to come full circle to the left.”

Before that can happen, they’ll have to come to grips with their corporatist and militarist inclinations.

My favorite theme today throughout the conservative nutjob radio network was that “we’re not conservative enough”. Full speed ahead, Neocon Nitwits. You know, I’m convinced if these nutcases go around a little more to the right they’ll have to come full circle to the left.

Despite their “smaller government” talk, the GOP has always increased the size of the government and increased spending.

You mean we get to offer them advice about how to run their party? Just like they’ve been doing to us for the last six years?

Bonus!

Oliver…stop telling the RNC how to learn from their mistakes.
