Maybe we can convince the right-wing religious nutjobs that there's some divine message in the bible that says they should all stay home with their children and spouses tomorrow, reading from Leviticus? :laugh:

You should be happy. I saw this morning where Santorum is trailing by double digits!

DrummerDeanna 11-06-2006 02:05 PM

The thing that makes him so dangerous is that he's not that typical old fart conservative republican that we see on tv these days. The guy has fresh looks, but he's purely evil otherwise, at least in his political views.

Who knew politics had such a power over you?

I can't wait to sit back and watch the election coverage tomorrow. Too bad I can't watch at the White House. Oooh to be a fly on the wall in the Oval Office.

My favorite was back in 2000, I was in London on election night getting ready to come home the next day. you shouldve seen the media people over there making fun of us that night. It was highly entertaining!

David, my friend, Santorum has made COUNTLESS asinine comments about gay people. Just about every time he speaks, he finds a way to get in a derogatory comment about gay people. He's obsessed.

Personally, I think he's another one of those closet-case whack-jobs who doth protest too much.

Here are some races to follow tomorrow night as we watch to see if the Dem's can take back control of either or both houses.

Senate races:

Tennessee: Harold Ford Jr.(D) Vs Bob Corker(R)
Missouri: Claire McKaskill(D) Vs Jim Talent(R)
Virginia: George Allen(R) Vs Jim Webb(D)
Pennsylvania: Rick Santorum(R) Vs Bob Casey(D)
Ohio: Mike DeWine(R) Vs Sherrod Brown(D)
Montana: Conrad Burns(R) Vs John Tester(D)

There are more house races obviously that are competetive, but Pennsylvania is a swing state, watch the hosue races there closely. Also, there's a very interesting thing going on here in the first district in Minnesota. Gil Gutnecht, the 6 term Republican rep from Rochester is facing a fierce battle from Democrat Tim Walz. The interesting thing is Gutnecht has won each race with at least 60% of the vote each time. He really hasnt had any personal scandals, so the fact that he's facing a serious challenge to his seat is very interesting.

Has been for about a year! Seems the Republicans have pretty much given up on him.

You guys did hear about how he compared the war in Iraq to the Lord of the Rings, right?

:laugh: Well there is that quote flying around, "Frodo failed, Bush has the ring"

Sugar 11-06-2006 04:13 PM

And I quote:

"As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the Eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else. It's being drawn to Iraq and it's not being drawn to the U.S. You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don't want the Eye to come back here to the United States."

You just can't make this **** up.

Don't worry. I'll be voting tomorrow. :)

Reading that mess just made me lose a few IQ points.

estranged4life 11-06-2006 06:28 PM

I am the evil incarnate...
 
in the eyes of some in this area, since I tend to vote for who I think can get the job done instead of kissing a political parties ass.

Let's say that alot of state Demos will be lucky this year in regards to receiving my (Independent) vote...I guess it's my early X-Mas present for 'em.

You should add the Rhode Island race to the above list. Chafee (R) vs. Whitehouse (D). Dems are poised to take that state.
