Getting nervous.
I think it’s all the positive predictions. Every single poll says big Republican takeover. Gallup has a 15 point advantage for Republicans among like voters which is unprecedented. With everyone predicting a big Republican wave, it’s just feels like we’re getting buttered up to have the rug pulled from under us. At least the extremely liberal Newsweek is actually predicting an advantage among Democrats right now (“Democrats are going to do awesome you stupid Rethuglicans!”) which makes me feel somewhat better. It just doesn’t seem right to be posed for a huge win without lefties sneering about how we’re going to lose.
Still, has anyone considered the possibility we won’t take the House back? And anything short of that can certainly be considered a victory for the Democrats. What would we do then? Democrats had screwed up as much as possible, spent as much as possible, and been at their arrogant worst and we still couldn’t get rid of them? Wouldn’t that mean it’s pretty much over for this country? The only thing left for conservatives would be to make some new Heinleinian nation on the moon or something. Freedomtopia or something. Or maybe Don’t-Touch-My-Stuff-istan. It would not be fun to flee the earth, but then again no one will pester you about Earth Day.
So I hope we do well. In fact, I hope it’s like an extinction level event for Democrats and they are now done forever for being so awful. Yes, the Republicans are screw ups too, but I think we can manage them better.
So remember to vote tomorrow… unless you’re planning to vote Democrat. Then remember tomorrow to finally satisfy your curiosity on whether your head will fit in a bucket. Nothing bad will happen, I promise!
FrankJ! It is so BENEATH you to try to keep Dems from voting! The strength of this nation is based on a citizen’s right, nay, duty to vote. We all need to do our part and encourage others to do the same, regardless of their political preference. Together we are stonger!
Just to clarify:
Nov 2 – Republican voting
Nov 3 – Democrat voting
Mark it on your calendar and tell your friends.
We’ll be fine.
I know the feeling. It’s Charlie Brown, Lucy, and a football. The good ol’ round-headed kid just must connect and put it through the uprights this time! Quick! Someone put a frog down the back of Lucy’s dress!
“…it just feels like we’re getting buttered up to have the rug pulled from under us.”
That feeling has John Boehner written all over it.
It’s the aftervote (like an afterbirth which is much less pleasant that the actual birth) that’s got me anxious. I caught an article (most likely from H/A or Drudge) about Republican muckety mucks already planning to keep Palin off the ’12 ticket. Say what you will about Palin, these guys have a job to do that doesn’t involve Palin.
I’ve said it before — so I’ll say it again just to amuse myself — if the Republicans fail to lay their hands on a clue, they’re gonna get the size 11 steel toe to their backsides in ’12.
If the Republicans don’t win at least 70 seats in the house I’m gonna be bummin’! That’s because that will like totally humiliate Obama and Biden! That would be sweet! It would be even sweeter if they took like 100 and the Senate! I would have an erection that lasts more than 4 hours and would have to go to the hospital…
FormerHostage, Neal Boortz joked about that same thing on air a few years ago. The local elections officials (dems) complained he was fixing the election. It seems that some housing project occupants actually belived him.
We will do fine if the cheating isn’t too bad. Frank has a good idea about the libbies putting buckets on their heads. That way when they explode after the election the mess won’t be too bad.
Maybe that is why Obama axed the shuttle program and any other manned space exploration. He wants to make sure there is no way we can escape off planet and nuke the site from orbit. Our future now depends on Sir Richard Branson and his crazy space plane.
This election might be more like the prologue to the Gotterdammerung.
Someone call Barry and remind him to take TOTUS to India! We wouldn’t want him “winging it”… Now THAT would make us all look like the dullards that he is! He might be a bit distracted after the rout tomorrow night! Especially when Michelle get’s done with him! I think he will have his dobber down after she calls him a little b!tch for the 50th time…
Make no mistake. If there ever really is a free country/planet/space station/someplace and productive people start moving – the looters will pass laws to stop the producers from fleeing. Best to be amongst the first groups out, IMO. For instance, if Texas suddenly started looking like they might really secede. . . get there quick. `Cuz the libtards will slam that door shut as hard and fast as they can. Parasites have a solid understanding of how much they need their host.
If Texas succeeds in secession, the rest of the real American states won’t be far behind. The commie republics like new york and commifornistan will wonder why they sponge off of good folks anymore.
So is the “Hundred Year Starship” humanity’s last hope of maintaining a free society somewhere in this solar system, or Obama’s escape plan ala Khan Noonian Singh?
I agree with you Frank. The “generic ballot” is just like the “popular vote” for President and Unicorns. They don’t exist. Very few are giving race-by-race projections just yet.
I am trying my best to be positive but I’m a pessimist at heart (I’m related to Murphy you know). My biggest concern is the so what factor. So we get these folks in Washington and they go to the capital. How long will it take before the soulless zombies get them in their clutches and turn them into giant balls of slimy gelatinous ooze with no backbone, no spine, no internal moral compass.
It’s happened many times before.
Of course that still will be better than the evil demon enfant terrible that are in charge now, but I’m still somewhat concerned.
So you are saying move to the moon and nuke the earth?

#15 – Seanmahair,
That nice lady from Minnesota that all the dems are trying so hard to defeat (Michele Bachmann) has proposed a Constitutional Conservative Caucus which would be a group of TEA party freshmen (led by her) who would attend classes on the Constitution together, vote together, watch each others backs and force the Republicans to stay focused on the peoples business by threatening to block any big gov, big spending bills they might propose (kind of like McCains ‘gang of 14’ only in a good way, not a sucky way).
So hang onto hope until January at least.
