Repugs now calling it a landslide?
This is what some repug wrote on another site.

"I couldn't be more excited that GW pushed through in a landslide victory. Personally, in that last 4 years I've doubled my income and get $1000 child tax credits for both of my boys. The extra kickback is handy and makes a nice contribution to both of their 529 plans. I can't wait to see what happens in the next 4.

I feel optimistic our best days are ahead. The economy continues to grow, we will capture that rat bastage Osama, and get Iraq straighted out. I do hope for our efforts we can lay claim to some of the oil and bring gas prices down. Other than that I look forward to 4 more years of prosperity and kicking some a$$."

1. nice we have lowered our income under * and we
have no extra money for a 529 plan because gas costs us over $200 a month and we have high health care costs...glad this made his day...greedy son of a bitch

2. He's not living in reality- except for that last bit, where he admits that
Iraq is largely about oil.

4. the "529" plans?,...the letter is a fake
Anyone who's had $ in a 529 during the last 4 years KNOWS this is baloney...They LOST nearly 30%.

5. HEAVY kool-aid drinker
How sad what doubling income and child tax credits have made this person believe. They're in for a rude awakening when their tidy little world comes crashing down.

7. Let them call it what they want. Pay no heed.
We're in a position of weakness right now, but that'll have to be OK. Let 'em have their mandate, their landslide, their celebration, their overreaction. Use the time to think, plan, live your life, and wait for them to piss off yet more of the world and the American electorate.

You can argue with them that it wasn't a landslide (and you'd be right), but you'd be wasting your time. Anyway, if it's a landslide, then they own the mess "now more than ever". So print out the dead Iraqi children pictures that you know you'll be seeing on Jazeera in the coming days. Put those pictures on their desks and give 'em a high-five for achieving exactly what they wanted. And go visit them while they're standing on line at the unemployment office and raise their spirits by starting up a hearty 4 More Years chant. Get into the spirit of it, and do your planning in the background. But never let them forget that they get FULL CREDIT for this brilliant election decision.

That is all.

8. Why would they embrace reality now?
Just because they call it a landslide doesn't make it one. They play this trick all the time. They're not going to stop now.

They don't realize that it just emboldens the opposition.

15. Book It
Let 'em crow. Pride goeth before the fall. Who cares what they call it. Get out and start organizing. Put pressure on the Dems to get their act together. Expand lib media operations beyond the blogs and the net.

Get a fricking major cable channel for God's same. Expand Air America to more markets. (Hello, Harold Ickes. Pick up the clue phone.)

By the midterms, * will be hated even more than he is now. The economic pain that is coming will shut this happy talk down fast.

Bank on it.
