#1 Isn't that Susie Needs Estrogen?

#2 The more Estrich and her ilk get animated, the more I want to see them beaten in Nov, and beaten BADLY.

#3 With Jean LeKerry taking what appears to be permanent dive in the polls, the dhimmis will be really, really pissed in November. With the help of ~~Judge~~ Alcee Hastings' lapdog Euro-monitors, they will pull out all the stops to de-legitimize the election. This evil harriden herself alluded to this a couple of nights ago when she claimed that a Bush victory would be illegitimate because of the Swiftboat ads alone. Moonbat rhetoric has heated up again, when Congress-fraud Major "Sharkbait" Owens declared that the Bush administration has initiated a "slide into fascism." I think the post-election disorder will take the form of the media, scumbag politicians, and professional agitators inciting mass demonstrations, quickly sliding into violence and open warfare.

#4 AC, this election will be sufficiently decisive that the Dhimmicrats will have no one to complain about except themselves because no one else will listen.

#5 Mrs. Davis, that may get nasty, empty heads do tend to explode in a vacuum.

Thinking of it, that is a way they may become actually usefull on Nov.3, as party poppers.

#6 The big thing lately in Europe has been the editorials, letters to the editor and general 'chattering classes' blah-blah about how Euroweenies should be able to vote in the US elections!! I am not making this up. Go to today's (Sat-Sun) edition of IHT and read the front page story. Some moonbat Brit professor and historian Timoth Garton Ash (oh, so posh so JF'kingKerry like)opines that in "the world election,non-Americans are not impotent bystanders at the ringside"....He actually believes that like the Olympics "the noise of the crowd" has as much to do with winning as the capabilities of the participant. Oh, yeah! Like I bet Michael Phelps felt as if he was surrounded by the 1st Marine division when he swam. The MSM, the dhimwits, the Mooreons and now the Euroweenies believe that if they wish enough, yell enough, write enough and film enough all their dreams will come true. No they won't - only their nightmares will!

#7 The medicine Susan Estrous is prescribing is nothing short of a massive-- and probably fatal-- dose of the same bitter brew that's put her party in the sorry shape it's been in for the last four years. Democrats have been losing precisely because they've been offering nothing but rage throughout George Bush's first term, yet Susan's fix is... more rage.

The rage killed Al Gore in 2000. His psychotic, bug-eyed, bellowing, foaming-at-the-mouth hatred of all Republicans is a large part of why I (still a registered Democrat at the time) didn't vote for him then, although I probably would have still voted for Bush even if Al had projected a far more reasonable persona. Under the circumstances that prevailed in 2000, a non-mental Al Gore could have easily won with over 60% of the vote.

I've long held a theory: that the real purpose of the Clinton impeachment was not to remove Clinton from office; it was to drive Democrats mad so they would fuck up the next presidential election. If that was its purpose, it worked spectacularly; and the Florida debacle magnified the damage and made it permanent.

The Dems are still in the grip of the insanity that cost them the 2000 election, and they will lose this one, too.

#8 "the world election,non-Americans are not impotent bystanders at the ringside"

Ahem, YES you are. That's why it's an AMERICAN election.

#9 Yeah, Dimbos. I'd pay serious attention to the advice of a woman who did such a masterful job in helping to run the Duke's presidential campaign over a cliff.
Come to think of it, the nation should be grateful to her for that.

#10 What amazes me is that Estrich is proposing digging up "dirt" that everyone already knows about. Heck, it was even mentioned at the Republican Convention!

Equally amazing is her apparent belief that Democrats can't loose, except by dirty tricks and smears. Does she really think Dukakis had a snowball's chance in hell of winning?

#11 A week or so ago, Estrich proposed a fascinating meme. I wonder if it will be used after the election?:
*
"The influence of the swift boat vets means that Bush cannot be legitimately elected."
--Susan Estrich
*
Does this mean that the left is already searching for any flimsy rationalization to proclaim that "It's not OUR fault, the election was STOLEN!", *even* if it is a blowout?

#12 JIB: "I am not making this up. Go to today's (Sat-Sun) edition of IHT and read the front page story."

What exactly is the "IHT"? And...uh, how about a URL?

#13
Disregard my last. I figured it out.

#14 Ah, Dukakis, the General Patton of the Democratic Party. I was a Dem back then. The Evil Republican Mastermind^tm of the day was one Roger Ailes. He successfully smeared Dukakis as a clueless dork. Oh, wait a minute.

This raises another question. If Repubs are as stupid, ignorant, unsophisticated, and backward as Dem trendsetters and media authorities allege, why do they have the market cornered on Evil Masterminds^tm like Ailes and the current arch-fiend of GOP propaganda, Karl Rove?
Bush, after all, is universally regarded as a moron among the self-designated intelligentsia, yet these selfsame savants and magi routinely accuse him of turning the world inside out with all sorts of devious plots and devilish conspiracies.

#15 AC, please do not connect too many dots for Susan. She might get a clue.

#16 Atomic Conspiracy, once you accept the relativism as your philosophical basis, the contradiction would disappear. You would be able to discern quantitative discrete domains, but qualitative judgement does not even enter the... whatever it may be there left between ears.

I suppose that i not necessarily the result of relativism alone, but with a hefty dosage of pot, and misunderstood concept of buddhism about emptying ones mind (it is not meant for good, only as a method of relaxation!), it is an explosive mixture-the process may be ireversible.

#17 Susan's been spoon-feeding the DNC post-election talking points that this election was also stolen by the Republikkkan Smear Machineâ¢ using their SWVT tools. De Nile ain't just a river in Egypt, and if the Donks don't face raelity, the Hildabeast won't have chance in '08....hokay by me :-)

#18 The Evil Republican Mastermindtm of the day was one Roger Ailes.

Since Ailes runs Fox News, he's still on the first team. It doesn't seem that the left has figured that one out, however.

If Repubs are as stupid, ignorant, unsophisticated, and backward as Dem trendsetters and media authorities allege, why do they have the market cornered on Evil Masterminds

Clarity of purpose enhanced by self-discipline, efficiency, rational thinking and moral certitude?

They've been doing that since 2002.

#20 Check out this article on Belmont Club - the bits by Dick Morris (of Clinton Admin fame & infamy) and Hugh Hewitt are, I think, very interesting theories of why the Pubs do so well and are organized - and why the Donks suck Donk. I think it's worthy of a few minutes.

#21 "Remember the one about Dukakis suffering from depression after he lost the governorship?..."

Oh yeah, I can definitely remember Election Day in '88, thinking how excited I was about getting to vote for the strange little dweeb in the tank, and then changing my mind because of those nasty rumors. He could have been the next Millard Fillmore.

#22 If any country wants to vote in US elections I'd happily allow them to give up their soverignty and become US territories. Then, if things work out well they can vote in primaries right away and perhaps become states within 50 years or so, some perhaps quicker (I imagine Canada and UK could go quicker if desired because of the cultural similarities).
