RW'ers redefining the election
Lurked on some boards, saw what the RW'ers are saying, and this is it.

"The minority party usually retakes Congress in an off term election."

So apparently, they expect us to win.

:rofl:

1. Generally Conceding Defeat Before The Contest Is In Bad Taste
Edited on Tue Aug-08-06 02:38 PM by ThomWV
But I can live with it this time.

If A Republican is feeling like a looser its just fine with me.

3. Yes - I think some of them are resigning themselves to it
On the other hand, the Limbaugh Brothers and talk radio types are very much the other way. SO much so that I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Republicanoids adopt a "stab in the back" mentality after the election.

4. Yes, this is just a typical "trend", huh?
Just like global warming is a trend. Funny that RW'ers think there is no such thing as cause and effect. It's all just cycles.

5. they pick and choose their cause and effect
there is no cause and effect between Imperialism (American and British) and the Middle East violence; they are just evil and hate freedom...


there is no cause and effect for us not liking Bush's policies or his destruction of America; we just hate him because we're told to by George Soros or alternately because he's rich/a common guy and we're jealous/elitist....


evolution (to them) is not cause and effect, it's random chance, which they also don't believe in....




the only cause and effect they do believe in, it would seem, are economic; business will regulate itself through supply/demand, and poor people are always lazy.

I often wonder how they wrap their little brains around it - like Orwell said, it requires amazing mental acrobatics to be able to be simultaneously logical and yet so illogical.

6. Call me paranoid, but
I think they are setting us up for major depression after they once more manage to steal the election. Laught then.:tinfoilhat: :cry:

If they can eleiminate voters in future elections because they think it does no good, that makes it even easier.

Hey! you want to laugh at me after the election? I'll join you with pleasure.
