Am I just paranoid or...
...does this seem a bit too easy? Could they be rigging this mid-term our way so we get just enough to take the House but not enough to get anything done, or to be able stop SCOTUS appointments. Then they can use this as "proof" that there's no vote rigging thereby setting up the big steal in 08?

4. True
It just seems they could use this to discredit truthseekers who may be getting a bit too close. It just smells fishy.

9. They're the 800-pound gorilla. We have to be the fire-breathing
Godzilla to defeat them. I hope those cloak-of-invisibility scientists have a Dem conscience.

think George Bush is an idiot and will be happier then hell to see him leave office. Same with all his thugs. There is no way they can repair the damage done to America over the last 6 years.

3. Hey the GOP has screwed this country and the world so badly
that I could care less about them retaining power. Let them own up to the screw job they did on Americans and the world and finally be accountable.

6. You're paranoid. They concede nothing They are strident
ideologues. If we win, its simply that we did a better job in getting voters to the polls and voting our way.

7. I hope you're right
Someone else's comment about Chimpy's apparent overconfidence being indicative of his "knowing something" sent up some red flags for me and I started wondering what that something might be. Especially in light of the fact that we've done a great GOTV job in the last two elections and the results defied all logic.
