Reminds me of an 'urban legend' with the phrase, "That would be the butt, Bob.".

1. There is substantial evidence that the administration "ginned up" the evidence of WMD's to justify its invasion of Iraq.

2. In the past six years, the rich have gotten richer and the poor, poorer. That's a fact.

How you square the above with the teachings of Jesus is a matter of conscience for you to deal with Jesus about.

Jesus is not a member of the Republican party, nor is he a "Christian Conservative." When each one of us stands before the Judgement Seat, Jesus is going to ask us, when I was hungry, naked, homeless, or in prison, how did you minister to Me?

Period.

#2 - a) Alarmists (most of them Commies and Socialists) have been claiming for decades that the middle-class is somehow disappearing. That's a fact.
#2 - b) The middle class is not going anywhere... That's a fact

#3 - I missed the part of scripture where Jesus was teaching that it is up to government to feed the poor and cloth the naked and heal the lame… and use tax money to finance abortions; because that is what is happening today.

[Hmmm... looking at OJ.com - Tennessee polls are normally open untill 8pm
[/quote]

Thats correct, 8pm EST is when the polls close here. Just a last ditch effort by the Dems most likely. From what I've seen Bob Corker is ahead in all the pre-election polls etc. I'm definately pulling for him, he was an awesome mayor!

[font="Courier New"] In most midterm elections, an out-of-power party picking up, say, 14 seats in the House and five seats in the Senate could call it a pretty good night.

But for Democrats in 2006, that showing would mean coming up one seat shy of taking control of both the Senate and the House. And it would probably be branded a loss — in the case of the House, a big one.

“Two years ago, winning 14 seats in the House would have been a pipe dream,” said Matt Bennett, a founder of Third Way, a moderate Democratic organization. Now, Mr. Bennett said, failure to win the House, even by one seat, would send Democrats diving under their beds (not to mention what it might do to all the pundits).

“It would be crushing,” he said. “It would be extremely difficult.”

Mr. Cook put it more succinctly. “I think you’d see a Jim Jones situation — it would be a mass suicide,” he said. [/font] [/quote]

I am not glum about the economy, I am just stating it how I see it.

Sorry dude…
When you are negative about a great economy, [b] you are GLUM. [/b] I would also say: you are unrealistic, you are depressed beyond reason, you have lost grip on reality.

The national economy rocks… the facts support this truth.

You can blather on and on about how bad you chose to perceive the job market to be all you want. Your negative speculation – and all you offer is baseless, negative speculation - It doesn’t change the true big picture fact that the U.S. is the most amazing economy in the world today.

Look – since Bush took office and the GOP majority took the House and Senate we went through recession, tech-bust, 9/11, war, oil prices, several direct-hit hurricanes in 2004, Katrina in 2005, housing-bust warnings, oil prices again, and then as you claim... oh so many companies moving to other nations...
Yet, the economy has continued to defy the nay-sayers year after year
and today the national average is at full-employment!
The economy is delivering for workers, big time.
The economy is delivering for the investors, big time.

Pretty awesome days. Yes the national economy is rocking hard for America.

[font="Courier New"]There is a saying in American electoral analysis, "the trend is your friend": absolute poll numbers at any given moment are of less significance than their movement over a period, especially when that period is at the end of a campaign.

In the past few days, the Republican numbers have begun to improve in the opinion polls. Where, two weeks ago, the Democrats' lead was in double digits, it has now shrunk to four points among people "likely to vote", according to one of the most influential surveys. The verdict of the Iraqi court on Saddam Hussein on Sunday will be likely to add to this impetus, by giving heart to the Republicans' "base" and so improving their turnout.[/font] [/quote]

[b] WHAT IS AT STAKE IN THIS ELECTION: [/b]
[font="Courier New"]
John Zogby's polling is tracking 15 swing House districts, and he finds Democratic leads in 13. Since Dems need only 15 to take control - and will doubtless pick up several not on Zogby's list - it seems we're in for several years of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

What's ahead for the next two years? Not new legislation so much as investigations, subpoenas, hearings etc. Washington will be as effectively paralyzed as it was during President Clinton's impeachment trial. And, let us remember that it was in that incubator that Osama bin Laden was able to plan the 9/11 attacks.[/font]

They're already reporting that it's over. Deval Patrick (D) won.

[Aloysius]

I still can't understand how they can compare this (seemingly historically inevitable) gain of majority in congress with the Republican revolution in the 90's... they basically had to make major concessions in nearly every candidate they put out to try to regain the majority. The 90's revolution elected a bunch of conservative republicans... this whole debacle is electing a bunch of conservative democrats.

wow, I am soooo impressed.
