Now Where Did They Get That Idea?

[and-justice-for-all]

Angry over the “thumping’” the Republicans took at the polls last week, the Right is frantically casting about for explanations and excuses as to what went wrong.

The latest scapegoat appears to be those religious organizations and leaders who have the audacity to be concerned about more than just outlawing abortion and demonizing gays. Those who voice concerns about issues such as global warming or poverty are, according to Focus on the Family, simply trying to confuse and siphon off the Right’s so-called “values voters”

Carrie Gordon Earll, director of issue analysis at Focus on the Family Action, said it's all spin by liberal faith groups with an eye on co-opting the impact of values voters.

"That's the way the religious left is trying to paint this," she said. "If you vote based on a candidate's position on abortion or defense of marriage, then somehow you don't care about poverty, and you don't care about the war. That's not true."

3. they want to lose: they know the country's in trouble....

they are beyond two faced (saying one thing while knowing the opposite is fact)....they say the problem is they losing (but that's cuz they not being true conswearvos/xianiacs enuff -when they really mean they aren't to blame for losing cuz THEY just haven't the right stuff cuz they givee in to liberalism -but all this is cover for the fact they don't believe their mindless crap in 1st place, so are relieved to be whipped BUT still, god's perfection demands better in the future blah blah blah)...

4. It must have been faulty

calibration on the e-voting machines for the larger-than-anticipated voter turnout. Come '08 they will need to crank it up to 8% repug favor instead of the woefully short 4% used in this last election.

6. And that's on top of the 8% they already have gerymandered...

...into the districting.

They've reached the point where they need to flip a super-majoriy just to hold onto what they've stolen.

If the outcomes weren't so bloody seriously f*cked up, we'd mess ourselves laughing (and cheerfully admit to it afterwards) at just how pathetic they've become.
