FAMILY VALUES VOTERS should make sure that THEY hold everyone to the same standard. (Hypocrisy is NOT a family value!) If they would call for a DEM to step down over an affair, for instance, then they should call for the REPUBLICANS to do so as well. And if they voted for a wingnut Republican because of his supposed "family values" they SHOULD change their vote either in the next primary or next election. (And don't give me this "forgiveness" excuse. So-called "family values" voters are about as forgiving as tight yellow spandex.)

The thing is, you take a risk when you court the hard-core fundamentalist wingnuts, and motivate them by painting an opponent as immoral.

You've got to WALK the WALK because they WILL turn on you. (Arguably rightly so, based on what you RAN on!) And they started to give up on the Republicans after the Mark Foley situation (A REPUBLICAN, letter writer!), and now Craig, Haggard, Ensign, Gingrich and most recently Sanford are really killing thier motivation to get to the polls. STRANGE HOW THE LETTER WRITER DIDN'T MENTION THE MORE DIVISIVE AND DAMAGING REPUBLICAN POLITICAL SCANDALS?

I'm not saying that the poor white trash that elected these knuckle dragging Republicans are "seeing though them" or anything, but they are getting disheartened. And that helped the Democrats as much as anything in '06 and '08. The Republicans are in trouble if all they have supporting them are rich, white men and their wives. Without the trailor coalition they're are good as whigs.

Conservative Concedes in Upstate Congressional Race

A staunch conservative conceded defeat to a moderate Democrat early Wednesday morning in a hard-fought contest for New York State's northernmost Congressional seat, a race that exposed divisions among Republicans over how far outside the party's base they should reach as they look to rebuild.

With 88 percent of precincts reporting, the Democrat, Bill Owens, was leading with 49 percent of the vote, while the Conservative Party candidate, Douglas L. Hoffman, had 45.5 percent.

As for "the country changing," a few boutique issues and races for governor doesn't mean the Republicans who nearly drove America into the next Great Depression are doing anything but hunting around for their next subject to smear.

That's all they can do, they're devoid of anything but serving the most ignorant with meaningless divisions. Elect enough Republicans and eventually the demage to America won't be repairable.

Oh, and in Maine ... how to the wingnuts claim "victory" when TABOR lost, among others the wingnuts favored.

Such small minded people, these wingnuts.

You guys are Hilarious :) Both parties are corrupt! not one party has less than the other. You guys need to stop acting like children and fighting among yourselves and tried to reason, that both of these corrupt parties are guilty!! of destroying this country!! No there's no RIGHTEOUSNESS IN Washington, they serve the special interest and foreign countries not this country and while we get the same corrupt gov, we will eventually loose our sovereignty and no longer have our freedom!!

THINK ABOUT IT!!

Four hundred million dollars missing from the Diebold ATM's care to explain David? Or, could it be that the money was looped back and placed back into Republican donations. Read that on ZDNet they seem to have the news down pretty well to a practical science on what truly goes on technologically speaking it is better to have seen that. Really catches some of my Republican classmates off guard when they storm on and on about Obama when I noticed that are party also received contributions from Diebold which had manufactured are voting machines it seems to me that it was corruption that should never have been allowed in the first place. That is why I switched to Linux after noticing the blemishes against Windows servers and hacking attempts made on those servers.

Ah, here we go the self-righteous Honu has spoken. Here's a flash for you. The Ashcroft and Gonzales witch hunt had to end, the AG's office had nothing as far as evidence. Have you noticed how it quietly went away. It was all done to stir up resentment so as to get a democrat (liberal at that) elected. And poor man, do your research. You'll be surprised at what you find. Like this one liner."The only difference between democrats and republicans when it comes to sex offenders is: Democrats have more, and re-elect them."
