The GOP IS TERRIFIED RIGHT NOW

[berni_mccoy]

They see the Democratic candidates' mastery of the politics and election strategies in the primary as an extension of Dean's 50-state strategy. In almost every state, Democratic voters have come out in forces that dwarf the Republican voters.

The Republicans have gotten cocky. They have gotten lazy. They have underestimated us.

The Republicans have tried to divide Americans with flag-pins and freedom-fries and by demonizing the goodness of liberals and the Democratic party.

And now America has woken up to the stench of their corruption. Americans are dying from the Republican leadership that lied us into an illegal war. Americans are starving, losing their jobs and houses and their ability to earn a living. But Americans have finally seen what has been done to them.

And America is angry. And America is bitter. And America has sent a clear message to the Republicans: We Don't Want You Anymore.

They have tried to leverage racially divisive tactics on down-ticket candidates in special elections, and they've lost every single time.

We are taking back old Democratic strongholds with a new kind of change. We are overtaking Republican strong-holds that have never gone Democratic.

The GOP Is Terrified right now. Be prepared for the ugliness that a trapped and desperate animal can unleash. The worst is yet to come from them. But with it, the best that has yet to be seen from America will be revealed.

America will become united behind one united Democratic Party. And we will change America for the better. We will change America for the sake of everyone.

1. Dean's 50 state strategy was meant to suffer a loss in the beginning

We were not suppose to do so well in 2006. However now the real dividends of that tactic will begin to pay off. Much to the republicans despair.

32. Exactly. I'm glad that democratic party infrastructure existed in these areas when they were finally

needed.

[NanceGreggs]

2. Well, all I have to say is ...

:applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause:

[SharonAnn]

25. Me to! Me too! Oh happy day!

[tinrobot]

3. Terrified animals are the most dangerous.

The GOP is cornered, I wonder what insane thing they'll do to get out of the corner?

[WritersBlock]

37. My thoughts exactly. I don't like them being scared. I want them complacent.

I just think we're dealing with some people here who will stop at nothing - and I do mean *absolutely nothing* - to turn the perceived tide of public opinion back in their favor.

4. I thought the same thing tonight...

listening to Edwards and Obama...when Edwards was talking about tearing down the wall, I'm sure there were a few high level repugs crapping themselves....

[lpbk2713]

5. Operation Chaos is a pretty damned good description of the rethugs right now.

Fuggue shittoheads.

:rofl: :rofl:

[chknltl]

10. Trying to rename it "Operation Reverse Chaos"

"Fuggue shittoheads" :rofl:

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. Operation Stained Underwear.

Those RW losers are laying down racing stripes in their shorts like never before.

Ahhhh, the sweet smell of defeat, right Rush? Sean? Glenn? Laura?

[berni_mccoy]

20. LOL!

:rofl:

[chknltl]

6. Yes We Can and Yes We Are doing it!

The Ship of State is starting to reverse course and is going to run over some rat-bastards! I don't care if it is mean of me to say this but: FULL SPEED AHEAD!!! woot! woot!

7. And this didn't help: "Cocky Emanuel shows up to gloat"

Cocky Emanuel shows up to gloat

It's gotten so bad for House Republicans that Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) is giving them advice on their tarnished brand.

During a meeting of the House Republican “theme team” last week, Emanuel stopped by briefly to address the group.

The unusual appearance of the partisan Democrat was triggered when Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) passed out fliers to GOP members on the House floor about the meeting.

“He said, ‘I’m going to come to this thing,’ ” Kingston said, noting that he and Emanuel have a good rapport. “And he showed up.”

Kingston said the Illinois Democrat was well-received by the group and even offered some advice: that President Bush and the GOP’s lack of an agenda would continue to haunt the party in November.

“Rahm was merely showing conservatives some compassion,” said Nick Papas, a spokesman for the Democratic Caucus chairman and the former head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

12. WTH?

:wtf: Was this guy born yesterday? Or is he keeping his enemy closer? I can't tell... :shrug:

[babylonsister]

15. Me neither.

:shrug:

[KharmaTrain]

28. Sounds Pretty Balzy To Me...

These morons are so cluless I could see Rahm going in there to goad 'em. Sounds like he told 'em what the polls already have...not that they'll listen to him anymore than get in touch with what the real voters out there are concerned about.

Kingston's such a twit...I could easily see Emanuel choking his chain. Sure beats all the "free advice" we get from the telepundits on the corporate media.

8. Terrified is good.

Although continued complacency might serve us better for a while.

[CAG]

9. Lets just hope we don't screw up this prime opportunity to take the WH

Dem's can blow presidential elections like nobody's business. If McCain is within 10 points of whomever the dems put out there by September, the dem's campaign will be almost as incompetent as a * appointee.

[Nitrogenica]

11. I think the wake up call is Jeremiah Wright. It ain't workin' nomore!

[crickets]

35. Yep, got it in one. -nt

:dem:

[The Doctor.]

13. K+R

Well said, and SO true.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

14. They have also Demonized our Republic, by making it a Democracy.

Our Party will achieve wins in 2008 beyond any seen before, and, in the end, I hope both sides remember

~We are a Republic.

[Faygo Kid]

16. Listening to Keith now. They don't even know what "terrified" means. Wait till November.

We are going to clean the House, the Senate and the White House.

Then they can play all the golf they want to.

[mtf80123]

27. Wow... don't even need words for the pic in this post

Says it all. Don't it?

A "forked-tongue" and "Bat Boy" rising out of the ashes would have been a nice touch too. lol

I love it.

[liberal N proud]

17. Live by terror, die by terror

Funny thing is they want us to be full of terror.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. I can smell the fear. Hannity and OxyPig are crapping themselves

Today both sounded the warning bell - shape up, you repug brain-dead wackos, and move to the far freakin' right, or face DISASTER this November.

Sweet - they still think they lost places like Mississipi because the candidates weren't conservative enough. Let them think just that - they'll continue to lose every time with that mindset.

[crimsonblue]

21. Old liberalism died decades ago when Reagan took office..

And it has taken us this long to find a new message that resonates. I can only hope the repugs take even longer.

[RebelOne]

36. Yup, Hannity was freaking out yesterday on his radio show.

I loved hearing him running scared.

[VotesForWomen]

22. LOL. they *should* be terrified given all of BushCo's f-ups, but instead they're in good shape for t

the GE, and they know it. they know Obama's racist-baiting isn't going to work in the GE, and they will snatch victory from what should have been certain defeat.

[VotesForWomen]

23. the OP and responses make me even more certain that dems will lose in nov.

[berni_mccoy]

24. Wow, you are one bitter loser.

[lovuian]

26. I think the Republican Party after this will be completely destroyed

after all the corruption and the harm it has done to Americans

Bush will remembered for its destruction just like Ken Lay walking out of Enron with his millions

bush will be in paraguay sipping drinks with umbrellas

so he thinks

the marcos in the Philipines thought the same thing

[berni_mccoy]

29. I won't go that far, but I will say change is gonna come. It's long past due.

[Jakes Progress]

30. i don't want to start the whole "slap a Democrat" thing

but we need to be careful. Many here don't remember that this was just what we all thought in '92.

republicans have long memories, deep pockets, and unlimited nastiness. We have to do more than win in November. We have to be united, and we have to put two dozen more liberals in congress each cycle for the next 8 years. Winning the election will only be the beginning. If we can't get elected this time, along with a strong liberal bent to the congress, we may as well fold our tents.

[anonymous171]

34. Neocons will be expelled. Look for a shift to more Ron Paul-like conservatism

That's my prediction anyways.

[kentuck]

31. And one thing they are more afraid of than anything else is...

unification. They thrive on division. If they cannot divide the country into black and white, liberal and conservative, rich and poor, etc, then they are doomed. The absolute worst message for the Republican Party is when someone says we need to come together. Naw! We can't have none of that shit!

38. How the new CA anti-gay initiative can help

The reich-wingers have submitted petitions to put a new anti-gay amendment on the ballot -- one that would negate today's ruling.

All we can hope is to energize lots and lots of people to vote against hate legislation. If we can get more progressives to the polls -- and count on dispirited Republicans staying home -- we could not only beat down the anti-gay proposition, but clean the clocks of Republicans up and down California.
