Prediction for the Mid-term Elections: Hold me accountable!
Edited on Tue Sep-28-10 04:47 PM by Writer
I predict Democrats will hold onto both houses.

If I'm wrong, I welcome all forms of derision, including cute plays on my user name, such as:

Righter
Wrong-er
So-called Writer
Do you really call yourself a "Writer?"
Idiot!

And so on.

I have no statistics. I have no facts to back up my claim. This is 100% female instinct.

What I do possess, however, is a strong faith in the party leadership, and in the party faithful, to come through in the end.

And if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. Shoot me. Rhetorically-speaking.




PS: Let's keep this kicked. Just in case you might need to kick my ass.

than thou: I have used my infillible Hawkstradamus powers, and come to a conclusion of similar resultization.

There are still enuf people of basic decency in America, with real values, who will not allow the wide-stance, diaper-clad, faux-lesbian-rentboy, luggage-handling, wannabe-witches, tax-cuts-for-fatcats, screw-the-average-citizen, lie-through-their-teeth, hate-and-fear mongering, chickenhawk, tax-shirking, economy-destroying republicon teabaggers, Inc. to steal power again.

So sew me if I R unrite.

7. I agree with you and have all along.
People are screaming..paul will win paul will win - well I hope he doesn't but you have to remember a republican had that seat anyway. And as crazy as Miller in Alaska is remember a republican had that seat to begin with also. I know we don't want these crazy people in office. But republicans were going to vote for republicans anyway. We only have 13 seats in the senate to defend. The republicans have 19. AND who is to say we couldn't knock a republican or two out. Same goes for the House. The republicans have as many seats as the Democrats to defend.

9. Great post - I think you will be proven right,
but don't know if that is female intuition or simply a belief that while there will be waves going each way, overall the Republican wave is receding - and they are helping it recede by their arrogance.

11. I've been thinking the same thing
myself.

We may wind up enduring the curse of living in interesting times. As in, it might be interesting to watch any of the Tea Party candidates who actually gets elected, and how they behave when they get to DC. I suspect they have absolutely no clue what an elected member of Congress actually does.

There is also almost no thought given on the part of those who think destroying our government will result in a better society, just what will happen when they get the destruction they want. These are people who are simply mean, who have no sympathy or empathy for anyone else at all. So long as they have what they want, to hell with everyone else.

I am hoping that in the next four weeks Dems will be out there exposing the meanness, the lies, the complete selfishness on the part of the Republican Party, and especially those who identify as Tea Partiers.

More importantly, if the Dems retain control of Congress, I hope they finally get some spine and actually pass the legislation we need to get this country out of this mess.
