1. Does that include how Republicans...
made 'gains' in the congressional elections in 2002 when they were expected to *lose* seats...

{no} thanks to Diebold, Sequoia, Triad, ES&S, one disgusting phone-rigging operation in New Hampshire, which even after the criminal sabotage was revealed, did not do anything to get the election result overturned, not to mention one well placed assassination... eh, I mean "plane crash"...?

2. Republicans made gains because Dems caved in on the IWR
that's when the trouble really started

3. The IWR should have been voted on after the recess
Anybody who has any interest in doing what's best for the country knows that making congressmen and senators think about politics and war at the same time is a bad idea. Of course, this really tested which dems had the balls to do the right thing (hint: I'm displaying one of them in my avatar).

4. That's exactly what I've been thinking.
Rove must be out of his fucking mind to think that the widely ridiculed lies will be more believable if they change the "Q" to an "N." Dude, make up some fresh lies; we've heard these before and they're not funny any more.

14. Oh yes, must invoke 9/11 at least a few times
As well as "terrorism" and/or "terrorists", then juxtapose that with "freedom". He's too predictable, as if he throws his speech concepts in a bag, shakes them around, and reads them in the order he pulls them out. The next time he is to give a speech he just does the same thing over again, though he might add a topic or two for a touch of newness.
