Murtha: If election were held today Dems would win 50 House Seats |
|
John Murtha who is campaiging for Whip in the next congress said he believed that Democrats would pick up 50 seats in the house if the election were today. He is going to campaign in 41 districts where the leadership thinks he could be helpful.
I hope his prediction holds true--but I think it's an overstatement. Best to not get too optimistic and fight like were ten points down.

1. Based on what I see here in Dennis Hastert's district... |
|
...He is correct.
The GOP is OVER unless they can commit massive election fraud.

2. They are not beneath election fraud |
|
Their Machiavellian souls tell them it is OK to cheat in order to remain in power

7. Oh, they'll commit election fraud. You can go to the bank on it. |
|
Election fraud is all they've got. That's it. They have NOTHING else to stand on. What have they done that's had a positive impact on the majority of Americans?

.....
I can't think of anything, either. The GOP is nothing more than a divisive crime syndicate.

11. They wouldn't get away with massive election fraud |
|
Sadly, it didn't take that much to get the Frat Boy over the top in 2000 or 2004.
If the fraud is beyond any dispute, that's a different story.

13. The only way that would make Joe Sixpack think there was election fraud |
|
is if the mainstream media screams loud, long and hard. Otherwise Dems are just "sore losers, get over it"!

14. It would be more than 50 if not for the voting fraud. |
|
The success of the fraud is the wildcard, imho.

5. But unfortunately it will not be held today. It will be held after they |
|
start a new war somewhere.

12. Yes, but we will start dropping nukes on Iran or Syria if that what it |
|
will take to keep them in power.

10. That's Great - But it Doesn't Matter |
|
Until Dems focus on the real problem - WHO IS COUNTING THE VOTES - all the campaigning and fucked up polls in the world won't matter.
