It hurt them more than anything.   I really don't think it had the impact they were looking for.   It pist off a few congressman and also several business owners, not to mention the average American.  Pretty much all it did was bring to light how big their balls are to pull this crap and how we need to get them out.

Ok, how 'bout you start keeping score if you want to play that way.  It is too bad that they didn't immediately cut him from the party so they could maintain some sort of moral high ground.  Instead, they gave the fascists a "token black target" while circling the wagons.\n\nI personally have no pity, they were more than happy to sign away our rights to due process and protection from search and siezure, but they cry like a bunch of babies when Bush and Co comes for them.  All of Congress (all parties) has acted like a bunch of spineless boot-licking dweebs.  Even Ron Paul rolled over on the tax cut for the rich, even lying about what it was on his web page.  And I thought I would actually have someone worth voting for this election.  All of them have been letting Bush get away with murder (literally) for 6 years now, "Take my legislative power...PLEASE!"

Ken was the leader at the helm when the GOP blew the election.\n\nIf the GOP is smart, they go get someone with more charisma.

The Republicans were certainly angry, disrepectful, and mean spirited during the Clinton administration. Now that they stole the presidency they have become awful arrogant. They have certainly appealed to fear and divisiveness. I'm sick of these wedge issues. They started an expensive unjustified war. Bush's failure to prevent 911 has been used to justify just about everything.

Prove it Buddy. You have it so wrong b/c even the news states that Dems have been spending that percentage on dissing the Republicans. Have you even watched the news lately. The news is also stating what will happen to the Dems if they do lose Nov. 6. Bet you didn't hear about that one. Or you did but you can't except the truth.

"Didn't they foresee the tables could get turned?"\n\nNo. There are 2 kinds of Republicans. One type has a one fiscal quarter horizon arising out of business mentality of looking mostly at immediate results, and short term profits. A few knocks on the head will cure these guys. The other, infinitely more dangerous type, fully expected to make this a one party nation.

The way the Republicans are imploding the best Democrate strategy is the old Replublican strategy - attack, attack, attack and don't say anything of substance.\n\nDo you remember the Gore vs. Bush debates. Bush said nothing of substance and Gore had an answer for everything. Who won the election? Bush did the right thing and said nothing of substance. Just repeat all the standard platitudes.\n\nFor the Dems now is not the time to reveal any agendas. It only gives the GOP more time to attack. It's like meat for a lion.\n\nBy the way, I voted for Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton and Bush Jr., so I obviously have no bias.

Actually you are going to break your arm patting them on the back.  The Republicans lost it, the Democrats did nothing and I don't expect them to do anything to be able to keep it before their two years are up.

Democrats have said what they need to say for years in order to in.  Look at the history of this election going back over a year.  Using the media they berated the administration, every republican who failed, and the war.  Then in the last 30 days they found "God," lower taxes, support for the troops and got themselves elected.

The Republicans fished out the funds, and sent Social Security to the General Fund. That's the problem, and there was nobody to oppose them. They control Congress. All the other was a cover up for the funds removal.
