Are the republicans doing such a bad job of running this country they have to pounce on a mis statement by?

Well, if the libs are going to do such a good job why did the pounce on Foley.  Not that I support that sicko, but anyone who calls my troops stupid is just as sick.

I believe that being a leader of our country is a sacred duty and they should treat it like that.  \n\nThere are bad leaders in both the Republican and Democratic parties but the bad examples set by the leaders in this administration are particularly egregious.

Republicans use any excuse they can to do what ever they want... they don't care if it makes sense or if it's consistent with their previous actions... \n\nI mean about 80 percent of them are like "don't talk bad about Bush, he's our president" and this is after they just got done calling Clinton every name in the book for 8 years... \n\nthey don't care what happened yesterday or what happens tomorrow, they just want what they want right now and d*mn everything else to h*ll...

For your first question: Republicans think they can even control reality. What is- just is. Republicans are notorious for complimenting the emperor on his fine new clothes when the emperor, in reality, is naked- remember that fairy tale? They are always trying to create their own reality and tell us what to think. On your last question- good point. Corrupt people have to lie to sustain their way of life. The best way to do it is to own the media and try to control how we perceive things. If the Democrats are not in the lead, they will be. This Republican reign of power has talked down to the American people long enough.

I'm sure all human beings on the planet have done something sometime that we are not proud of. If someone brings it up, we say sorry and move on. \nDenying and lying only serves to discredit us, the way Lynn Cheney discredited herself when she lied to Wolf Blitzer (I saw the show). \nAs for your question about Republicans ever dropping their holier than thou pretensions- the answer is no, they won't drop that facade because they think the American people are all real stupid. The problem is, some of the American people who consider themselves Republican do not tend to see through the lies, even when they are the blatant and in your face kind of lies.\nFrankly, I don't care what kind of books her highness writes, or wrote in the past. I just resent her implication that she is above reproach because of her party affiliation. We all know how corrupt her husband is, so we should not be surprised that she would be any different. \nWhat is really appalling is that no matter how transparent these people are, it is just the game of politics, and they know they will not lose their wealth or status because the American people know they lied. They are laughing all the way to the bank, at our expense.

Sounds like your doing some finger pointing yourself.  Politicians are always blaming someone else.  Misdirection is the name of the game.

They are wrong! I\n\nI believe their defeat had more to do with their lack of oversight, corruption and being a rubber stamp for Bush and his unwelcomed policies played a large part in their defeat. It was their actions, or lack thereof! They had no oversight, they gave away power relegated to Congress and the courts of the United states. They, like Bush, thought they were above the law, and they were a congress of exclusion, even to elected democrats!\n\nIf you look at history, especially lately, it is seldom we let one branch have total control of government! Now you know why!\n\nI would say that Bush and his war were rebuked by the electorate. It was clear the election was a referendum on Bush and one can't say he was a rotten apple in the election! I hope he got the message! I hope Republicans got the message as clearly many voted against their own party, as well as people who make between $50,000 and $100,000 a year! They know who got the tax cuts and they know who shares the largest tax burden!

the republican agenda has been denounced by the electorate and if they  stay with their (stay the course) policy thier era is not only over it will be dead...remember cheney said that no matter what the election results he said stay the course, HOW ARROGANT  his response is a slap in the face of the electorate and if history tells us anything its this, americans dont like to be ignored or taken lightly. so in closing if they stay the course they will lose the senate and the presidency next election

Oh God come on, you know why. FEAR. They let fear over any number of things control who they vote for.\n Fear and Lies is all the Republicans have to offer and time and time again people just swallow and say great I want some more.\n It is disgusting, how the people in this country just back the President for one idiotic reason or another. He will keep safe from terrorists blah blah blah

No, unfortunately they have often been found to be lying or bending the truth to suit themselves. \n\nWe have done some of the most horrible things in this world. Like assinate leaders of other countries, started wars on false statements or on outright lies, we have used atomic bombs & other horrible weapons, we pay countries money to get our way, we even possibly have had people killed like Marilyn Monroe or JFK for reasons that are poor at best. There are loads more, but you get the idea.\n\nDo we have good things that come from our Government, YES. But am I blind and stupid, NO. There is nothing wrong with seeing the Bad and Good. There is also nothing wrong with Critisizing the Government.\n\nAnd for those that tell me to "do something about it" I have and continue to do that, so please don't patronize me, you don't know me or what I do.

Be fair. The people who have hijacked the Republican party hate most truths that don't lead to profit and power.

We need more honest people in politics who tell it like it is, even if that means insulting a bunch of ignorant repubes!

I think that anyone that says dems have screwed up as much as Republicans needs to actually pay attention to what's happening...\n\nbut to answer your question... I'm not sure... there are a lot of Republican states out there that are going to vote for their republican Representative, even if the Representative is skull f*cking the decaying corpse of Jesus Christ himself on national tv... just saying...\n\nSo I think the dems are going to make progress... but it's tough to fight that kind of blind loyalty overall

I agree with your assesment! Those Republicans seem so old, and hagard looking.\n\nThe 1st step of Repiblican recovery is admitting you are one.

I just read the article. Since the article is a negative comment on YET ANOTHER Republican drummed out of public service for improper behavior, they will say it's all lies and Dems are making too much of it, while they can't stop talking about the media coverage of Kerry's remarks. Typical.

Because Republicans are out to destroy our country.

Yah I have said this before, but it fits here too. Some of them just woke up, give them time to check Fox News, whip out the republican party line handbook, maybe check a few blogs and biased websites, then they will tell you what they think.\n Be patient, as people incapable of forming their own opinion you have to be patient with them and eventually they will tell you what they "think"
