do they regard the last six years as a success?

2. 9/11, Iraq, Katrina, surpluses into deficits
The rich getting richer & the middle class and poor getting poorer.

Yes, the last six years have been a success.

3. Does she think the impeachment possibility is going to hurt the Democrats?
Go ahead, Libby, make our arguments for us. We don't mind. I suspect that the 31% of conservatives that want to see the Republicans lose are not going to change their minds because of the possibility of impeachment. It may motivate them to vote Democratic. It is amazing how far behind the curve the Republican leadership is.

5. That's the Republican line: "Democrats are Dangerous."
You'll hear "disaster" and "dangerous" all summer long. It rings hollow with the electorate, though.

7. Yup: father will protect you
from arabs
from nukular iranians
from mexicans
from avian bird flu
from gays
from negros
from unsanctioned intoxicants
from janet jackson's terrifying nipple
from howard stern's mouth
from grand theft auto video violence

FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR

and if that is not working most certainly it will be war.

6. "WE MIGHT HAVE TO PAY TAXES!" *GASP*
"We worked very hard to insulate ourselves from any responsibility to pay our fair share! They could take that all away from us!"

9. She's exactly right.
"She argues that empowered Democrats would ``increase your taxes, call for endless investigations, congressional censure and maybe even impeachment of President Bush, put the war on terrorism on the back-burner'' and ``Take over the White House in 2008!''"

Yup. That is about correct. Oh about that warnterra - putting the effort to bring the perpetrators of the 9-11 attack onto the 'back burner' would be a vast improvement over the current status of that effort.

Lets get it started!

32. Sounds Like She Is A Nominee For The Captain Obvious Award
And, once again, WAR ON TERROR! There is no war on terror, Libby, you twit! It's all just a made up excuse to spend more federal money with companies connected to the shadow government.

All that money has accomplished nothing. And you know why i can prove it, Libby? Because Rumsfeld and Cheney BOTH said, more than once each, that we are going to be attacked again. So, we have the "terror warriors" themselves admitting they can't do a thing about it.

The "war on terror" NEEDS to be put on a back burner. It's useless now!

11. yes it would be terrible
We might have a lower deficit, we might catch up on the cost of living, have lower oil prices and better relations with the rest of the world.

13. It's likely a disaster will happen no matter how the election goes.
George Bush and the Neo-Cons have already seen to that.
On the economy, they've been cooking the books for 5 1/2 years so who knows where we stand. If and when we really do find out it's liable to cause a panic and economic collapse.
The military has been reduced to a mere shell of it's former self. The troops and hardware are worn out. Any further strain on them such as an attack on Iran will put them over the breaking point.
Three dollar a gallon gas has American's maxing out their credit cards.
Everything right on down the line is a mess. So predicting disaster doesn't take any clairvoyant powers.

15. That past-it's-prime-pineapple has a point.
Think about it. We all say disaster is coming.

Whoever is in charge at the time gets the heat. (who bothers to think anymore anyway? It's now that only matters.)

If Dems win, they'll have to really cover their butts and open their mouths... many of their actions of the last 6 years have done no good at all - and probably helped them lose more than we thought in 2004.

Also funny how we have to go to a UK site to get the statement...

21. Sure, the last 6 years are a success
If you are a multi-millionaire and/or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, you probably really consider the last 6 years a huge success. Mission Accomplished.

For the bottom 99%, the last 6 years have generally sucked ass.

22. The part I didn't like
was that the Democrats were dismissing it as hyberbole! Dems can't dismiss NOTHING! Too bad the Dems can't get a copy of Dole's mailing list so to send a nice letter of their own to Dole's constituents reminding them that the disaster has already happenned.

26. Why, yes, they do
If you listen to wingnut radio, you'll hear that the economy is booming in spite of all those disasters all because of those wonderful tax cuts and that heroic leadership.

28. You bet we're going to impeach that punk's ass, Liddy
As fast as we can. Impeach, convict, then prosecute and jail. And send as many of his enablers to jail as possible. Fascist traitors are not our style.

30. I agree, for once
The coming disaster for the captain of the blimp will only take place if the e-vote machines can't steal another election. And in Dole's own state of North Carolina, citizens have put their foot down on the machines and ran diebold off! In NC, diebold no longer works it's 'magic'.

So, when I read this, I think I hear Dole saying: now that repukes can't steal the vote, the PNAC 'Hinderbush Blimp' will go down in flames!
