Is that one of Nancy Pelosi’s new pamphlets in your pocket, or are you just excited to see her? |

Uh isn’t the Republican strategy to depress the voter tun-out, defraud the voter, defenstrate the electoral process, as usual? Certainly thta’s what MY decoder ring keeps decoding the Emperor’s messages as..... |

GOP strategy is to give the appearance of more terror-mongering. The press likes it. The suckers eat it up. The real strategy is 1000 well run little conspiracies all over America making sure, one race at a time, that enough elections are stolen in keep power and save face. |

I won’t even bother looking at the details of the vote, but I’d bet dollars to donuts that the 131 dems voting no represent the bluest of the blue districts... which means that in the contested races, we’ll see that the dem voted in favor of this particular bill... neutralizing any advantage the GOP hoped for in forcing through this vote.
voters in swing districts (the only ones that matter) who would otherwise stay home or vote for the democrat are not now going to show up and vote republican to send a message to the 131 dems from somewhere else in america who voted against this bill. the people who care about which party controls congress have already made up their minds about who to vote for.
Hey, I give the GOP credit for not folding their tent at this late stage, for trying to do something to keep control. But they and their kool-aid drinking followers are crazy if they think these show votes are going to do much of anything to change the outcome of the fall elections. hastert can schedule as many of these votes - on immigration, on tribunals for terrorists, on whatever - as he wants and it won’t matter as the dems in the swing districts will simply go and vote in whatever direction the wind of public sentiment is blowing.
control of congress is going to be decided on the basis of issues over which congress has relatively no control, like gas prices or how things are going in Iraq and in the fight against terrorists. as much as they might not like to admit it, congressional republicans have no ability to drive the debate, they’re just going along for the ride. |

"congressional republicans have no ability to drive the debate, they’re just going along for the ride." On a day when the front pages are screaming about Republicans standing up to President Bush this is just silly.
I think our clue is:"...their kool-aid drinking followers..." Otherwise, a very good post. Partisanship sometime affects reason. [Duh.]
