I thought I saw yesterday that only 49% want their congressweasel re-elected.

That made me cackle. It's the first time in, I think, ever that number's been below 50%.

100% turnover in every elected office in the nation is my personal goal in the next 4 years (6 for Senate).

It was the same poll

Quote

The same poll finds 49% of voters, a near-record low, saying their own member of Congress deserves to be re-elected.

This marks only the second time since Gallup began asking this question in 1992 that the figure has dipped below 50%, and the first on the doorstep of a midterm election.

You know, you work and you toil and sometimes you never know if your efforts are paying off.

Not this time.

3 Yes... still a plurality, I should have said.  Anyway, it looks like November is going to be a bloodbath. 

Good.  Now we just have to lasso the GOP into not being retarded like the last time they took power.

4 I think they did OK when they first had power (I'm thinking 1994), but they slowly but surely lost their way as time passed.

Bush's compassionate conservatism was what killed that.

Without 9/11, Bush would have been a one-termer and we'd be in the middle of Hillary's second term.

The only way he beat the weakest candidate to that time (John Effin Kerry) was because nobody trusted Kerry with the war.

6 While that's true I think it's important to remember that a much-more influential Minitru did its damnedest to destroy the GOP back then.  The Contract with America guys were under constant assault-pretty much anytime they passed ANYTHING Clinton vetoed it, the press excoriated them, their popularity shrank and they ultimately passed a watered-down compromise version that Clinton invariably received credit for.  No wonder, then, that they ended up in a ditch over the impeachment business. :/

7 Yeah, I hated the 90s.

8 I'm voting against my incumbent in the primary, but if she gets to the general I'll vote for her over the Democrat. She's not great (conservative on most issues but throws it all out when it comes down to the seniors taking any kind of meaningful cut in their bennies) but not so bad that I'd give the seat to the other side.

9 Oh I am soooo voting against my incumbent.  Like.  All of the voting against. 

10 I'd love to vote out my incumbent (Dingell, D-UAW), but it's not happening.  If I lived next door in McCotter's district, though, I'd be buying bagels and coffee for his phone bank.  We need to hang on to that guy, if only for the Red Eye appearances.

11 Hey!  Save some of the voting against for the rest of us!

12 I like your theme, did you buy it or is it original? I'm in search of something similar to this for use on my web site
I don't think these are really the best pieces of advice. Some things you should leave to <a href="http://www.mulberryuksale.co.uk/">mulberry bags sale</a> is surgery and dentistry.
