Most delusional post-election RW comment?

[TheFarseer]

I just heard a pretty good one: on the Neil Bortz show, a caller said, "You're right Bortz, the republicans lost because they were in power 12 years and didn't do anything with it. If they would have read your book and enacted the fair tax, they wouldn't need all the illegal immigrants to vote for them, they'd have the support of every middle class tax payer in America"

The Middle class is for re-allocating the tax burden to themselves? I didn't know that! Also, calling Iraq nothing? Interesting. . . . . . . . .

Oh, and please add your own delusional RW comment if you've got one.

1. From a Freak Republic thread

"We are screwn"

:rofl:

[aquart]

5. That was accurate, not delusional.

[BOSSHOG]

2. I'm a middle class taxpayer, a veteran,

a beer drinker, one helluva fine guy, great neighbor, mow my lawn to the neighbors envy, pay my taxes, love my wife (of 32 years), obey the laws. (I do not go to any church in the area because they all preach that I should hate this group or that - confirmed from personal experience.)

So how come I haven't voted for a republican since 1976? Gosh boortz you've yet to convince me. Get a job and I might listen to you.

3. My nomination

Bill Bennett's suggestion that the Republicans draft Rick Santorum for President.

Santorum went down in flames Tueday night with 37% of the vote in his bid for a third term as US Senator from Pennsylvania.

7. The one thing they can learn from this is

America rejected "crazy" and the enabling of "crazy"

Some of them think they just didn't have enough "crazy"! I hope that's the lesson they draw from this - well, actually for the good of the nation, I take that back.

[Jade Fox]

8. Hey, I hope the GOP nominates him in 2008!

Bennett, you're a genius, and you are clearly feeling competitive with Limbaugh for top Neoclown Who Helps the Democrats Through His Sheer Crass Stupidity!

4. also from Atlanta, Sean Hannity was just appalled and FRIGHTENED

by Harry Reid's speech saying Democrats would work on universal healthcare, improving medicaid (allowing the gov't. to negotiate with drug companies over prescription prices - oh no!), raising the minumum wage, improving education, and - horrors! - reducing student loan interest rates!

Hannity thinks these things are horrible, just HORRIBLE, but never fear all the Republicans need to do is go back to their "Reagan roots" - faith and freedom - and they'll get back in power in no time.

Of course, it's interesting that he was disdainful of a Democrat who listed ACTUAL problems that need to be addressed and offered a solution to solving those problems in terms of ambiguous ideas - faith and freedom - that can mean anything you want it to mean.

9. Hannity thinks

public education is the tentacles of Communism, so what can you expect from him?

Reagan roots sounds good until you realize it was all a sham.

[Iris]

11. oh, yeah. I forgot "government schools" but I haven't listened to any of

the Hannity/Boortz crap in years!

I was thinking the same thing about the Reagan roots thing when I was listening to him - what a sham.

[delete_bush]

15. I demand Hannity apologize to Jesus

for opposing universal healthcare. WWJD?

[Iris]

17. I really wish I could understand

why stuff like that scares them so much.

6. I saw a LTTE calling Iraq a smashing success

What is this guy smoking? It must be good, whatever it is.


Major Milestones Achieved In Iraq

In response to Frank Harris III's Other Opinion article "How Can We Win The War?" :

Our policy in Iraq is a success. All the major milestones have been achieved. Saddam Hussein was removed from power and tried for his crimes against humanity. His ability to obtain weapons of mass destruction has been terminated. An interim government was established and authority was transferred to it. Iraqi elections where held on schedule. The elected officials organized their government and are now taking on more of the responsibility of running their country.

There were naysayers all along the way, insisting that each milestone would be missed. These naysayers included some of the same retired generals and politicians who call this a "failed policy." It was predicted that we would suffer 50,000 casualties in the takeover of Baghdad. Countless such predictions have been proved false. But that does not stop critics from continuing to predict failure and exaggerate our setbacks.

Our enemies and the opponents of the war call this a "failed policy." The policy will fail if it continues to be undermined by people who want the policy to fail for their personal gain and by those who are misled into parroting: "Failed policy." "Failed policy."

The war on terror is in the first few minutes of the first quarter of the first game of the season. To win, we must tout our successes, learn from our setbacks and not predict failure.

10. Hugh Hewitt gives election predictions.

So what’s it all mean? In the tied races, the Republican will win. In the close races, the Republican will win. It adds up to Republicans running the table in the Senate. That’s right – running the table. Montana, Virginia, Missouri, Tennessee, New Jersey, Rhode Island (whoopee), and Maryland will all send or re-send Republicans to the Senate. But wait, there’s more! Michigan will send Sheriff Michael Bouchard to the Senate. And in Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum is in striking distance.

18. Ding ding we have a winner n/t

[bobbieinok]

12. Mark Levin (??) on election problems

Where are the lawsuits if this stuff really happened, as the liberal media is claiming??? Remember, according to the liberal media, when republicans win it's because there was fraud; according to the liberal media, when democrats win, there's never ever any fraud.

[Iris]

16. probably said even as they were gearing up for battle for Katherine Harris's

old seat.

[Rocknrule]

13. "This is proof that voting should be a privilege not a right"

In other words, only Republicans deserve the right to vote

[magellan]

14. I'm sure that's what they'd like

And in a way they have that because at the moment voting's only a privilege, one which can be taken away from any us by a machine or a partisan elections official. The Repugs might want to think about that in case one or both are owned by Dems in the next election.
