There's no way the republicans retain control of the House....
Karl Rove's claim to have "the math" is nothing more than an admission that they are going to commit election fraud.

The mood of the country is one of republican disapproval, democratic approval and outright disgust of this administration.

There is no way, legally, that they retain control of Congress.

This charade of don't worry, be happy by Bush and his cronies is more than suspicious.

1. I agree
Barring something huge- like a "terrorist" attack that kills dozens, and frightens the sheeple into voting for the pukes- the dems take the House, and I'm even beginning to think they could win somewhere around 30 seats.

2. It really concerns me.

They are going to pull something. I just really fear a National Security Event that is going to prevent us from having an election or that require the imposition of Martial Law.

edit: I am not trying to be a gloomy "concern troll" please don't diss me! I really am worried, why are these guys so confident?

3. No dissing from me...
I've had the same thought and I wouldn't put it past Cheney and the Puppet. Remember * said, "Things would be much easier if there was a dictator, as long as I'm the dictator."

4. They have to appear confident; there are no other options for them.
That doesn't mean that deep in their dark little hearts (if they have 'em) they don't fear a changing of the guard.

7. At this point I think even Nascar Joe won't fall for it
If bush crime family decided to pull a stunt like implementing marshal law honestly they'd be inviting an uprising and it wouldn't be just from us-we'd find ourselves in the company of millions of "heartlanders" as well at this point.

Nobody's buyin stock in bush anymore-nobody that matters at least.

10. There's a reason why NASCAR uses leaded gasoline in their cars
To keep the fans voting Republican.

8. I know you're not a concern troll.
And I'm still a little nervous about they're pulling something big, but the closer we get to election day, the less likely that is. If it hasn't happened by the weekend, I don't think anything's gonna happen.

5. Rove is simply..
.... trying to create the "aura of inevitability" that has served him so well in the past.

They CANNOT STEAL that many elections. They can grab a handful perhaps, but even they have to understand that folks are catching on and the risk of being discovered grows with every election.

Rove can and will engineer some kind of last minute press-based bullshit, but I think the public is getting weary of that too.

12. CANNOT STEAL
You got that right.

They can't do it, and you know why? Because folks like you wouldn't stand for it. You can see that if the pukes hold any margin of control in the House they would have had to steal millions of votes!

It is so good to see people being aware and getting ready to act upon the evidence of theft.

They can't steal the election this time, but you can bet they DAMN sure will TRY. We will catch them this time, right?

9. I predict the Repukes will keep only 3 seats in the senate
Rick Santorum, Katherine Harris, and Joe LIEberman (who I predict will caucus Republican) will be the last Repukes in the senate after November 7th.

However...

I also predict all three will commit suicide on January 1st as part of a UFO worshiping cult.

11. Maybe you should read this first:

The groundwork is already being laid to steal back Tom DeLay's seat in Texas.
