For comic relief, there's no beating the Red State message boards. For example,
this front page posting will be a classic we'll share with our grandkids on the
Wayback Machine:
...
Republican Jerry Kilgore will defeat Democrat Tim Kaine by no fewer than three percentage points. You heard it here first, and I am very confident about this.
...
Unfortunately for the
Republican Message Masters,
empirical results can interrupt even
their Reality Destruction Field. Illustration in their own words below the fold...
Let's head back to the Red State boards. In this
discussion on
H.R. 4241, a pattern can be found in the comments:
I mean, this is ridiculous. How are we supposed to refute moonbat attacks of republicans only caring about corporations and not people, when the only cuts we can make are to food stamps and college grants, and NO cuts to corporate welfare?
It looks bad. Real bad. And we're going to get creamed in 2006 if we don't do something about it.

Republicans are not far away from being thrown out of Washington on their keesters. They need to reduce spending, cut pork, repeal the death tax, split the Ninth, and confirm some decent Supreme Court justices soon, very soon, or they'll be the ones in the minority in 12 months.

A Note To All Republican Representatives:
If you do you not know how to be fiscally responsible and act to protect this country from our enemies AND get re-elected; get the hell out of office.

There isn't much time left. If there isn't an energetic bounce off the bottom for this congress, there won't be a Republican majority in next one. Maybe there shouldn't be.

We are going to get crushed next year at the ballot box. That's my prediction.
- Allan Bartlett
And finally this gem of electoral math from a
related discussion:
Anyone still wanna make the argument that we're not going to get shellacked in 2006?
I thought not.
Enflamed Opposition + Depressed Base = Blowout.
(And I see nothing in current events turning that around. Just the opposite...)

There are plenty more where these came from. Get used to it. We're in their heads folks.. and it turns out those heads are filled with fear, uncertainty, and doubt (just like we always thought).
Damn it feels good to start winning again :)
