Foot Meet Bullet
By Johnny Roosh
Michael Regan thinks a great GOP resurgence may be afoot.
Republicans have dramatically turned around their fortunes with two high-profile gubernatorial victories in Virginia and New Jersey — both by comfortable margins.
Wouldn’t it be swell if this anticipated resurrection were due to the GOP being on point, producing a clear and wide message to voters and not simply because of Che Obama’s blowback?
In almost a year, the Obama administration and congressional liberals have focused their efforts so far left so much faster than anyone envisioned…and at the same time accomplishing nothing. They are making the Gingrich years look productive.
Nancy Pelosi is dancing a jiggly jig having passed a health care bill that has no chance of surviving the Senate in tact while unemployment climbs higher than predicted without the stimulus.
[gulp]
Not that anyone predicted this.
…and Americans are getting pissed.
Imagine the possibilities if the GOP actually gets it’s ducks in a row.

Resurgence? Ask the voters in New York’s 23rd District about that.

…clinging on to that one with your fingernails aren’t ya.

Don’t count the House bill out as dead yet. The Senate is going to pass something. Then both bills will go to committee and the result may end up a lot like the House version.

Ask the voters in New York’s 23rd District about that
You mean, the almost fifty percent who voted for a third party canddiate – and not all that great of one, at that – who had about two weeks to mount a campaign agasint both the major parties?
Hold that thought ’til next November, Clown.

Hey, Clown – you were kinda quiet last week.
Training your new associate clown, Mr. Corzine?

The 23rd ain’t about the voters, Mitch. They’re Republicans. It’s about the far-right kooks who dictate to the national party – Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin – blowing a safe seat by purging a moderate who would likely have won in favor of an idologically pure wingbot. Looks like the GOP wants to remain the party of God-bothering racists.

ALmost 50% of the 23rd District are “far right kooks?”
If everyone’s an “extremist”, then nobody’s an extremist.

You’re not getting it. It’s a moderately conservative district that never elects Democrats. If the Republicans were a normal party, it would have won that special election in a walk. But for some reason the far-right nuts who run the party to the tune of the Deep-South value ideological purity over winning votes. Bad for the dwindling number of Republicans, good for normal people.

The brain wizards who keep score by the little Rs and Ds after the names on a tote board thought they’d defeat a moderate Dem by running an R who was further left than her opponent. Those who keep score by judging the effect, or potential effect, of how a candidate will vote determined there wasn’t enough Chianti in New York to make Scozzafavva palatable.
And now Owens, who presumably can count votes and judge wind direction, will sit attentively on the edge of his just-won seat and seek to ingratiate himself with the district. If Scozzafavva had won she’d be laughing up her sleeve and thinking, “Suckers!”

Hmmm. Who’s not getting it now, AC?

.But for some reason the far-right nuts who run the party to the tune of the Deep-South…
…and give us candidates like Snowe, Collins, Graham(nesty), McCain and Scozafazza. Yep, Far-right wing-nuts have decimated the GOP. Sure. Like I said in an earlier post: To battery acid (pH 1) even Milk of Magnesia (pH 11) can seem extremist.
