The Republican's pollsters are telling them the cold, hard fact now. They will lose the House and Senate next year at this time.
They probably can't stop it. More bad news every day.
No, not every other day. Every day.
It is our time.
The Wingers can only call me names now. They can't talk politics anymore.
Weasels they are, and some will be suspended.

Mr. Murtha, a 73-year-old Marine Corps veteran of Vietnam combat, lashed back at Vice President Dick Cheney, who in a speech to a conservative group on Wednesday night condemned critics of the Iraq war. "The president and I cannot prevent certain politicians from losing their memory, or their backbone, but we're not going to sit by and let them rewrite history," Mr. Cheney said in an address to the group, Frontiers of Freedom, in Washington.

Mr. Murtha was disdainful of the vice president's remarks, saying that "people with five deferments" had no right to make such remarks. Mr. Cheney, like millions of other young men of the era, avoided military service during the Vietnam war.

Murtha is very credible and even conservatives cannot diss him. He's as pro-military a guy there is and he says END THE WAR NOW. He knows best. He's right.
