Mitch is contested with a very viable candidate, Bruce Lunsford. The latest polls show Lunsford dead even with him.Mith is nervous and so he should be. He has not done anything for us in Kentucky.He has spent his time raising money for the Senate Republicans.He doesn't care about kids, working people or the state as a whole. With only the stroke of the straight ticket democratic vote we can rid the country of Bush, McConnell and McConnell's wife, Secretary of Labor, Elaine Chao, who has been a do nothing herself.

Good riddance GOP…

Thanks for that Einstein! McConnell is a disgrace and has made a mockery of governance. He is one that I would definitely like to see gone. Clear out all the Delay ear republicans.

"Sharon Minnesota" – Really??? Where have you been these last 7+ years?

The republicans deserve to lose in this coming elections, as they were so blinded with power losing sight of their so callled "MORAL VALUES" platform!! …..SHAME ON YOU GUYS….. LOL

I think those seats will be cut down to about 25.

I would like to say that the haters on both sides – Hillary Haters & Obama Haters – YOU ARE ALL MISSING THE POINT!!!!

THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT CANNOT AFFORD TO WAIT FOR CHANGE INCLUDING MY GRANDMOTHER, MY KIDS, AND MY FUTURE UNBORN CHILDREN.

I WANT YOU TO TELL MY GRANDMA AND MY KIDS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO RUIN HER CHANCE FOR CHANGE JUST BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO CAST A PROTEST VOTE FOR MCCAIN, OR THAT YOU WANTED TO CONTINUALLY HATE ON HILLARY AND CAUSE HER SUPPORTERS TO NOT SUPPORT OBAMA!!!!

YOU PEOPLE, YOUNG AND OLD, NEED TO GROW UP!!!!!! AND FOR THOSE THAT SUPPORTED HILLARY AND NOW MCCAIN…. WHY DID YOU SUPPORT HILLARY IN THE FIRST PLACE????? EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU ARE POISENED WITH THE SIN OF RACISM, AND YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO OBAMA AND GIVE HIM A FRIKKEN CHANCE!!!!!

OBAMA/CLINTON 08
PLEASE….. MY GRANDMA CANNOT AFFORD TO WAIT 4 MORE YEARS!!!

Just Wondering……..

Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?

Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks and trailers are?

Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels in Chicago ?

When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines ?

Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?

Where are all the looters?

Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of cannibalism and shooting at helicopters? (which never happened in N.O. either, BTW)

Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates rural people?

How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?

Just wondering…

If the Dems are in power it's important then to have a republican president. More checks and balances that are sadly lacking in the democratic party, which this farse of a primary season has shown.

If Not Hillary, then McCain…

If congressional repubs were shrewd, which I doubt few enough are, they'd paint the donkeys as the energy obstructionists they truly are, and ride the high gas prices all the way back to a House majority. I mean, lets be real… it's 30 plus years of needless government meddling with the markets that have painted us into this economic corner.

The government can't deliver the mail, yet liberal fools are clammering for the government to deliver healthcare and an answer to high energy costs, when it's the 30 years of government-induced constraints and roadblocks that CAUSED the conditions that CAUSED the prices to spike. Here's a clue to "helpful" liberal government: GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!

The problem is Repubs simply don't play this game as brutally as liberals do, and as such, will likely spend the next 40 years wandering about the desert. Fools. If they only played the "take no prisoners" game the Clintons perfected…

I hope this Bush puppet is one of the Repubs who gets ousted in November. There is something about this little sissy that makes me want to upchuck!

Yes, but how many will be imached or serve jail time for the Ira war? 23 senators voted against; 77 voted for the war. Including many democrats. Why I am paying taxes for our 4 billion per year? I'm not talking dead ~100,000 Iraq people – nobody here seem care. These 77 senators – most of them are still in senate, not in jail.

Sharon:
Get your kids and grandkids ready for more of the same.
War, high gas, mortgage's nobody can afford, no healthcare,
a polluted planet, loss of privacy…
You go ahead and vote republican, but don't cry to us when your kids have to go to wars based on lies.

Mitch McConnell's comments are more than welcome…in fact I hope they are understatement. Having vowed to never again vote for a Republican in my lifetime, I hope this is the beginning of a long time in the minority. And, while we are commenting on their dim prospects for the future, we are also reading that the Prez is busy preparing the ground for yet another war in Iran. I hope the future holds some war crimes prosecutions for certain Republicans.

Sharon Minnesota June 29th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Don't count your chickens Mr. I'm voting a straight Republican ticket this election and I have a feeling before this is all finished I won't be the only one.

It doesn't pay to fortune tell.

****************************************************************************
No Sharon you won't be the only one…. but I won't be joining you in checking that box. Now will I check the Democrat box. No, I'm not some third party nutcase, instead, I vote with my head. Weighing the options, and choosing the best candidate for the job based on their accomplishments, not their party.
I'll admit that 90% that leads me to checking Democrat, so maybe I can't truly seperate myself from Parisanship, and no it doesn't mean my system is always perfect, I voted for Bush in 2000.
But it is a better option than ignoring the facts, sticking your head in your *censored*, and checking a partisan box.

Polls show that McConnell may lose in November.

Good! Now the democrats can make some much needed changes in our government. Maybe when this election is over, we will truly be one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty (freedom) and justice for all. God Bless America.

McConnell has diarhea of the mouth and the prospects for him and his cohorts in the upcoming election should reflect their obstructionist parliamentary procedures to block the Senate's much needed work for the American people who are hurting, i.e. mortgage relief, Medicare updates, fuel prices, etc.

Hopefully, he will be one of those losing their current seats. If anything, it would be nice if all incumbent Democrats and Republicans up for reelection lose their Senate seats and felt the wrath of the American public for their arrogance toward the people and the Constitution.

If the Democ rats do pick up additional seats the first move s hould be to strip Senator Lieberman of all Senate chairmanships so he can become a true Republican.

That's fine, with me……………………………….let the Democrats have all the 'Seats"; in both Houses………………………"Total control" for the DemocRATS, that way, they can take all the blame, for things that go "bump in the night"……………………………….1/20/2009 is coming!

Who do the Republicans have to blame? For six years they owned the House and the Senate. For six more years they owned the presidency, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court.

To all of you Conservatives who voted them in: what do you have to show for it? No flag burning amendment, no action on abortion, no effort to reduce government size, no reduction in spending, no fiscal responsibility, no morality in government, no tax cut for anyone who earns less than $500,000 annually (unless you count chump-change as a tax cut), no decrease in crime, nothing. Your vote gave the nation government-for-sale, open bribery, no-bid-single-supplier government contracts, a broken military, the national credit cards are maxed out, and we are in very bad shape.

You were suckers for a bunch of con-artists in thousand dollar suits.

SENATOR MC CONNEL. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE
LAST 7-8 YEARS THAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN IN
COMPLETE CONTROL? I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT ANY
PERSON WITH HALF A HEART OF LOVE FOR THEIR COUNTRY,
WOULD ALLOW REPUBLICANS TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY TO
THE DEPTHS THAT IT HAS SUNK. LET US BRING SANITY
AND PEACE BACK TO THIS COUNTRY. LET US USE OUR
BRAINS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THE OIL CRISIS.
AND I DO NOT MEAN ANYMORE DRILLING. LET US TAKE CARE
OF OUR CHILDREN AND OUR ELDERLY. WE HAVE SO MUCH TO
DO, AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE REPUBLICANS CANNOT DO IT.

WE LOVE BILL, and want a DEM back in the WHITEHOUSE!
OBAMA O8

Republicans only have themselves to blame for their unpopularity. Instead of doing what's best for the country, they've ignored the issues that effect the average America, they've started a needless and costly war and have become the party of borrow and spend.

Unless the Ron Paul types take over their party and bring back real conservative values, America needs to vote them out of existence.

Tax and spend…here we come. It's going to take a STRONG Congress to stand up against the obama machine.

All the Dems have done is cackle and block every good thing that the Repubs could come up with.

All hail the tax and spend destruction of America.

I dread to think of Obama winning and the congress being controlled by the democrats

I'm still waiting to hear exactly what Obama is going to chang – besides his statements and how he is going to do it

Wake up people – you are being conned by a Chicago con man

So is McConMan supporting McFlipFlop or not?

GOOD now we can get some work done for this country…
i do not blame the condition of this country entirely on Bush, the GOP, the Republican house or any of them…no the brunt of the blame goes to all the American people who voted for these greedy fools. that's who's to blame. i am sick to think that you people voted for Bush a second time…tisk tisk you fools. but God only help you if you vote for Mr McCain…KEATING 5 says volumes of this candidate…evasion of taxes speaks "straight" to the heart of those loosing their homes, flip flop on the issues as well as his own bill, speaks straight to the heart of America, Mr. McCain we hear you even on the weekends. we see you no matter which of the 7 homes you hide in.
Mr. McCain, America is tired of the same old "lying" politician and that is why we true Americans are voting for Barack Hussein Obama
OBAMA 08 12 CLINTON and beyond

With the Republican party, led by President Bush, hell bent on going to war with Iran before he leaves office, they (the Republicans) don't deserve any seats anywhere in this government.

Impeach Bush NOW, stop the madness. If Bush goes to war with Iran, the next President should haul him and Dick up on war crimes (and house them in Cuba awaiting that trial)!

Majority/minority… as long as it's a demopublican/repucratic government it's all the same.

Vote Ron Paul! Change you can TRUST in!

Hmmm…Bush 3rd term or Jimmy Carter 2nd term? No winner there.

Since Dems have taken over the house and senate, things have gotten even worse. Of course, having a president with the BS morality of evangelical conservatives and the spending of a liberal is no better. Our politicians are just sad on both sides of the aisle.

Hey Senator McConnell, I hope that you're wrong. I really hope that Republicans gain majorities in both houses. President McCain is going to need all of the support that he can get to ensure that America remains safe and strong.

Help Kentucky ditch mitch! Join Bruce Lunsford and help him when the senate seat in November. Thank you.

By the way, just how big a genius is Karl Rove anyway, isn't he the strategist that was setting the Republicans up for a ' permanent majority?'

You all seem to think that if we get out of Iraq there will money for what we need right here at home. Wrong! Greedy Tot is promising to spend Iraq dollars on everybody's favorite projects. Guess what? It's all borrowed money, and instead of spending it in Iraq, we'll paying China. So no free lunch, kids. Democrats may get the senate, but they better not start spending bucks because No.1 needs to get paid. That would be China.

I'd rather see some genuine republicans handling the money next time around-get rid of the Bush spendthrifts and let's see some good old fashioned SPENDING RESTRAINT.

McCain 08

The absolute best thing for America is for the Republican to NEVER!!!! be in the majority again, EVER!!!!

We need a 3rd Party.

I AM VOTING FOR THE "WRITE PARTY" THIS NOVEMBER and writing in Hillary Rodham Clinton for President. The Clintons need to start their own 3rd Party, not support Obama.

Like many of Hillary's supporters, I am too poor to send a substantial donation to Hillary, but I still have what counts…ONE VOTE…just like all the McCain conservative millionaires and Obama elitist millionaires.

I intend to use my one vote and join the "Write Party".

Hillary in 2008. Let's make real history!

Read the Headlines….George and Dick are now making plans to attack Iran. This time the supposition Nuclear Weapons vs. WMD's.

I agree 110% with Mitch! By the time the warmongers George and Dick get out of office there won't be a Repbulican Party! They'll have to clean house to the bare bones, initiate another other party name, another party mandate, and all new members, before any reasonable minded man or woman will even contemplate being a party to the party!

Man I hope we all live long eough to read the History recorded on this Administration! Of course, that's a big gamble I know with George and Dick planning our collective demise at every turn!

republicans are liars and thief they should not be anywhere in our government. Democrats unite and lets take our government away from GOP crooks. Democrats forever!!!!!!!!!!!

The democrats in congress have a lower approval rating than Bush.

Of course the GOP is already conceding….they lose a house seat in Mississippi of all places….LOL…..they placed fliers with Barack Obama on them, portrayed the Dem opponent as a Obamanite….and LOST….LOL

No, really?

Man this guy is on top of things!

Of course the Republicans will lose seats this November. That's what happens when Republican candidates are not true conservatives but instead offer "Democrat-lite." When the Democrats promise "free stuff," all the Republicans seem to be able to do is put up candidates who say, "Well, we'll give you free stuff, too, but not as much as the dems." No wonder they lose; they've forgotten their principles – while their opponents never lose sight of their socialist goals.

The Republicans won't be a majority party unless they have charismatic candidates who vigorously support lower taxes, reduced regulation, smaller government, free-market capitalism, limited government, and a strong (but non-interventionist) defense. A left-leaning Republican like McCain isn't going to have any "coattails" to help any of his party's candidates, even if he wins in November.

GOP won't be in the majority, BUT (and this is where it gets good) the Democrats will blame everything that goes wrong (and a lot always does with Dem congresses and presidents) on the Republicans. Write this down and check back a year from now and see how many times that will have happened in just the first 6 months of an Obama presidency and a Dem congress.

I predict Obama gives Hagel a job in his administration… showing he really will reach across party lines.

Mitch is right-the writing is on the wall. Democrats will take the White House, and both houses of Congress. Hopefully we can seat a couple of logical Supreme Court members to overrule the Bush acolytes before they overturn Roe V. Wade.
The only way the Republicans stay is if Bush stages an attack in October, declares martial law, and suspends the elections (He has an Executive Order enabling this!) So may God bless us every one!

Americans are sick of nothing getting done. The reason the Democrats have a better agenda is because they stand for EVERYBODY. Next year we'll have a Democratic house and senate, and a Democratic President.

I am an independent but now realize I made the mistake of voting for Bush last time because I believed all the propaganda about Iraq. I am going to vote for Obama because McCain is already showing signs of dementia or alzheimers. Republicans are for fiscally responsible government….right. How can McCain and his colleagues believe that it makes sense to continue borrowing trillions of dollars to support a war that our kids will be paying for for decades. A war that the American public and even Mr. Bushes party now realize was a big mistake. Mr.Bush's brownshirts are marching lock step with him so as to save face. Bush will harm his party with the biggest drubbing in history. Mr. McConnell, thank you for your prediction. I believe that you will be one of those going down along with Mr. bathroom foot tapper Sen. Craig.

Joe

I'm only voting for Ron Paul Republicans. I see Norm Coleman losing his seat too.

Per Sharon Minnesota
–" Don't count your chickens Mr. I'm voting a straight Republican ticket this election and I have a feeling before this is all finished I won't be the only one. "

What's the matter "Sharon" ? Got tired of pretending you were a Hillary Democrat ? Now you're showing your true GOP colors. Oh well, Enjoy another loss !!

Wow are these common sense words coming from a Repub?

This election year will make or break the Republic. When they pull through and McCain wins, the prospect for the republicans to take back the house and senate is absolutely is positive. This election will demonstrate why they are better when it comes to national security. China, India, Iran, Iraq, Spain know who they are. I don't see an Italian woman as President in India. Is America ready for an Kenyan?

Since when did the word LIBERAL become a dirty word?One of our greatest president was left of liberal. Roosevelt was endorsed by the comunist party! He said he did not ask for that endorsement, but Americans can vote any way they please. I am registered republican, but I opposed the war in Irak. I oppose a president who defies the constitution and alows wire tapping Americans. I oppose a president who lied to the Americans about the neccesity of going to war with Irak. I oppose congress sitting back doing nothing about the gas crises except complaing they can do nothing about it. I oppose congress for allowing thousands of Americans to lose their homes due to devious loan sharks.I oppose CEO's retiring with millions of dollars, while one third of the population are hard pressed to buy food for their families.I oppose shipping our manufacturing over seas
to take advantage of cheap labor and leaving thousands and thousands of Americans out of work. If all this makes me a liberal, then by God, I AM A LIBERAL

The Democrats need a 60 + majority in the Senate to get the things done that need to be done. Number 1 on the agenda should be the planning of the orderly end to this unjustified war in Iraq. Number 2 on the agenda should be the resolving of this Housing Crisis. Forclosures drive down the housing values of homes in the neighborhoods in all socioeconomic groups. So we all will suffer if this matter is not resolved. Economic woes are no respector of persons. Changes in the regulations within the Housing Industry must take place or ownership with become the exception rather than the rule. We have a Healthcare Crisis that needs to be resolved. Last be not least, No Child Left Behind needs to be amended or ended. High school drop-out rates have escalated and gang violence is intensifying. As I said, there is much work to be done. Ooops! This "Oil Cris"! It is time for our dependence on oil, foreign or domestic to end. We need to invest in the technology of vehicles that
"run on water". If you think I am kidding, google it.

One day we will ditch Mitch and it'll be like the Ewoks at the end of Return of The Jedi for many here in the Commonwealth.

after bush your party will become extinct.

It's a triangulated Government. What matters next is who gets into the White House because that person will be nominating the new Supreme Court justices.

"Don't count your chickens Mr. I'm voting a straight Republican ticket this election and I have a feeling before this is all finished I won't be the only one.

It doesn't pay to fortune tell."

Yeah big long time democrat you are. Operation Chaos or a pissed genital voter that usually doesn't care or votes Republican.

The Republicans should be routed. They have proven to be toxic to the process and the American people. They should be sent far, far away until they care about the people and our founding principles.

Bush and the GOP leadership have destroyed the Republican Party. The Republicans say. Give tax breaks to the Big Corporations and they will re invest the money which will create jobs. This WAS true and it worked. Then the Corporations and Republican leaders got too greedy. Now the Corporations get tax breaks and they re invest the money, in China where thay can pay workers a dollar a day and Corporate CEO's can make a hundred million dollars a year. And since they got away with that. Why not fake a reason to invade Iraq so that Big Corporations can make millions of dollars a day off the tax payers while our country goes a trillion dollars in debt. The Republicans deserve to get trounced in this election and then go back to being a party of the working people not just the super rich.

McCain and Lieberman put their country ahead of partisan conformity and self-interest and are branded traitors for their courage and patriotism.

Tha's amazing!!! The Bush administration did scare off the people and he, Mcsame and other Repugs will never be returning to the Senate.

Go Obama

Sharon Minnesota and other Hillary adorers: Now we know you will not support a change from the Bush administration. You folks are ever so predictable in your spoken fantasies about having Hillary for your president. What is your pay-off going to be come general election time?
A continuing death ceremony in Iraq, a Supreme court that makes decisions based on their political leanings, an economy that just does not help any of us but the very rich? And if McCain is elected, he will be a leader who thinks he knows better than the American people. Of course, you are very clear that you will not vote for anyone who the majority of Americans preferred to Hillary Clinton. That seems kind of kindergarten-like.

Allmymarbles is right, one of the best things about the end of this election will be not having to hear any more out of Liebermans mouth! The Dems don't want anything to do with you Joe ever again and McCain would only turn off any Democrat he would hope to win over by choosing you for a running mate. So now Joe "who loves ya baby.?"

Personally, I think we need a viable third party, a truly Independent party, one that is centrist and moderate so voters like me (and I think we're a majority) don't have to almost always choose between the extremes…..like George Bush from the Far Right and Barack Obama from the Far Left. I have disliked both of them equally.

Because I find both the Right and Left extremes to be unacceptable, I initially supported Hillary and now support McCain.

P.U.M.A.

I don't think we can count on Lieberman to side with the Democrats anymore. He's McCain's right hand man at times. Having a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress, maybe we can get some things done…..FINALLY!

Good! For there to be any progress on fixing our sick economy. We need a Democratic President and Congress.

Ya know, this is the first time old Mitch and I have agreed on something.

The GOP leadership is whistling a bleak tune past the graveyard.

Obama will soon bring the change the American people want so I am reminding all Americans to vote for Obama 2008, no more Bush 3rd term.

Don't count your chickens Mr. I'm voting a straight Republican ticket this election and I have a feeling before this is all finished I won't be the only one.

It doesn't pay to fortune tell.

Wow, that wasn't smart of Senator McConnell to do… he just basically conceeded the congressional elections right there and when his party is already struggling with their RSCC fundraising this will not inspire people to donate to a Party or candidate who's leader says they are already going to lose. Thanks for fueling the surge for those races in Virginia, New Mexico, Colorado, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Minnesota!

The republicans brought this all on themselves. Elected officials are supposed to represent the will of the people. But these elected officials don't seem to care that the majority does not want war in Iraq, wants the right to abortion, and on and on.

But it is not just the republicans who ignore their responsibilities. One of the joys of a larger democratic majority will be the political demise of Joe Lieberman. Coming from the liberal state of Connecticut, he defied his supporters and lost the primary to Lamont. He went independent and, largely through cross-over republicans voters, won the election. His feelings were "hurt" that his party rejected him (none of his fault, you notice) and is now sucking up to McCain. He thinks his only chance of survival will be to be chosen as McCain's running mate. McCain would be nuts to choose him. Bye.bye, Joe.

Vig June 29th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

And they can thank George Bush for this – this will be a part of Bush's legacy, the impotency of the Republican party. This guy will go down in history as the bad karma President. If you recall, the day he took the oath of office, the first time, it rained on his parade. This was an omen – he brought rain drops into so many lives. Now you know why McCain can kiss the Presidency good-bye and we will be left with a smiled-faced, arrogant piece of cotton candy. But wait – there is an alternative, a loop-hole – you can write in Hillary Clinton on the November ballot and if the Obamaites don't tamper with it, we can still put Hillary in the White House and stop Obama.
————————————————————————————————
Aaand the bitter ignorance continues. This blog was about loser Repugnicans yet you somehow managed to turn it around and start harping against Obama. Do you brainless twits EVER stop! It's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. HILLARY LOST AND CANNOT BE WRITTEN IN AT THE NOMINATION; THE VOTES WILL SIMPLY GO TO OBAMA. So stop with the bitterness and THINK about what you are saying before you blather foolishly on these blogs! It's OVER.

Get use to it GOP. America is sending a message loud and clear. No more BS!!!

The democrats have had control for 2 years now in the House and Senate, but nothing has gotten accomplished… why do you ask?

Simple… they care more about the party than they do about you and me.

Why would I say such a thing? Because if they really cared, they would have gotten something done already in terms of energy, health care, taxes, and more…

They are simply waiting for the fall so they can win everything… smart… yes… but at the expense of the very people that vote them into office losing more money in a failing economy. You can't turn it around overnight. It will take years to get back strong again… YEARS….

The only way Republicans come back is if a bunch of them have similar views to Ron Paul…. that won't happen for a while.

Personally I'll be supporting the Independence Party candidate for Senate. I like Al Franken but Coleman is another Bush lap dog. We need NEW blood and neither the Democrats or the Republicans are going to provide it.

Awesome! The stand still we have in the senate will end and the good guys will actually have control!

Democrats will gain a clearer majority because of frustrations with the Republicans. Even if a one party controls the Congress and White House people will be unhappy and then they will vote in the other party. That's why I try to stay out of politics because it causes division and the American people are fickled!!

Don't fret Mitch!

The good news for McCain is that he has the obfuscating Obama for an opponent!

Mainstream Americans, including sensible Democrats, will not vote for this guy, Obama, who panders everywhere but is in fact a hard core Liberal! It is not about party unity which is a farce anyway. It is about who will make the best president. There is only one wise choice, and it is not Obama.

The Democrats blew it again!

McCain 08!

The DNC has proven that it is no better than the RNC
at governing.

If Congress will be in the Democratic control, I would
rather have McCain in the White House. A Democrat
Congress and Obama White House will result in a
run-away train with no brakes.

The good news for McCain is that he has the obfuscating Obama for an opponant!

Mainstream Americans, including sensible Democrats, will not vote for this guy, Obama, who panders everywhere but is in fact a hard core Liberal! It is not about party unity which is a farce anyway. It is about who will make the best president. There is only one wise choice, and it is not Obama.

The Democrats blew it again!

McCain 08!

Alright, they should be!
The Dems only have 49 Senate seats, but not for much longer!
John Sununu will find himself unemployed come November.

Oh Happy Day! The big deal is not the war or even the economy…it's the Supreme Court. 3 of the 4 liberals or old or in poor health and need to retire, to be replaced by fresh 40-50 year-old faces. I wish no-one poor health or ill fortune, but if a conservative needed to be replaced in the next 4-8 years we could be safe again…for a while. Remember that McCain even voted FOR Robert Borq. Keep your eyes on the prize democrats. I wish Hillary had won too, but a democrat, ANY democrat, must be in the oval office next term. Fail to do so, and our civilization could be set back not just decades, but GENERATIONS.

When did government become a game of chess played by over paid pawns, rooks, and bishops… (but not that insult, as titles of nobility are unconsitututional)

oh come on with the PUMA's going to vote Republican you will have 95% of the pure negativity and hatred voting for your candidates. That should give you some hope, right?

We have 2 independents in the senate. Why not Independent take them all up for grabs and slow and steadily form third party. Name the third party People's Party. The two major party are not in sync with American peoples pain and woes.
Third Party – Peoples Party

Mitch is a smart man he knows the Republicans have made a mess of this economy and the war was based on a big lie that has killed thousands of young military men and women. Who in their right mind wants to continue these type of policies? Most people better vote with sound judgement.

If your under the age of 35 and can be and want to be drafted go right ahead and vote for John McCain. In order for a war to last 100 more years there is going to be a draft taking place in the future. The military is at its limits right now. No one wants to volunteer to do 3 or 4 rotations in Iraq. If the war last 5 more years a draft will take place. I don't want my grandsons fighting for this war that was based on a lie and lose their lives or become disabled so Bush and cronies can live a comfortable retirement with their oil investments, and theyhaving to beg for veterans benefits or have mental problems from fighting this war.

My sister is a Registered nurse in a military hospital emergency room. She has seen the casualties from this terrible war. These kids are young and have several limbs missing and some are on the verge of wanting to commit suicide because their families have been torn apart on top of the injuries they have sustained. I say no to John McCain and cronies for ruining these young peoples lives. There has to be a change very soon in America.

if obama continues to lie when he flip flops and continues to distort the facts while trying to justify it, i think he will self destruct and the republicans won't have to worry. you can't fool the voters all of the time

Hopefully it will be a VERY LONG TIME before the Republicans gain the majority in the House or Senate.

TO ALL YOU OBAMA LOVERS…… ELECTING HIM PRESIDENT IS NOT THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING ON THE AGENDA. WE MUST ALSO PAY ATTENTION TO OUR HOUSE AND SENATE RACES BECAUSE WE NEED A FILIBUSTER PROOF MAJORITY IN THE SENATE TO BE ABLE TO GET THINGS DONE!!! REMEMBER THAT!!

Obama/Billary 08!!
Al Franken for Senate 08!!

thats rigt the republicans have had their chance and look at this mess let the dems take over now and see if they can clean up the mess!!!

Bill ……….I'd much prefer that the parties hold a close number of seats rather than one with a clear majority over the other, able to force through legislation without compromise. A slim majority often forces compromise and bipartisanship to get work done in Congress……..
YOU know BILL …..YOU are RIGHT!!!!!!!

.

Now the republicans are jumping their own ship before the rats even got off.
I think we can add "Republican" to George's 7 words.

McConnell has nobody to blame but himself and his Republican colleagues who got drunk with power and forgot their roots of fiscal conservatism. Got a road to nowhere? Maybe a road to oblivion. Republicans will be in the minority until they remember some core principles and stick to them.

Hoepfully you Senator McConnell will also be gone.

You Republicans only have yourself to blame, you spent more money than the liberal Democrats and on top of that the country is falling farther behind. You need time out.

I'd much prefer that the parties hold a close number of seats rather than one with a clear majority over the other, able to force through legislation without compromise. A slim majority often forces compromise and bipartisanship to get work done in Congress.

Ya think? and they can thank their top"Elitist" club members (George, Karl and Dick) for that.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!

I tend to agree with Sen. McConnell. All the more reason to vote for John McCain to provide for more checks and balances. Especially given Sen. Obama's Senate voting record.

Americans for McCain '08

Yeah!! The GOP won't be in control. Too bad it will be the Democrats as well. Nancy Polosi promised so much when the Democrats took control two years ago. So far, she hasn't done a thing to follow through on any of her promises. All she has done is proven that the Democrats can be as mean and as nasty when they are in control as the Republicans were when they were in control. It is time that we as Americans say enough is enough. We need to tell Congress that we will not continue to watch unemployment rise, gas prices rise, the country continue to go into a recession or any of the other many problems that we continue to deal with as a county while Congress continues to enjoy their many perks and pleasures. Members of Congress enjoy outstanding health care that is much better than you or I while we struggle to provide for our families. It is time that they join the rest of us here in the real world.

this is very good news

Give your head a shake McConnell…you were right with your first statement

REPUBLICANS ARE SCREWED.

republicans will also lose the executive branch. Maybe now we can fix a country they tried so hard to destroy.

And they can thank George Bush for this – this will be a part of Bush's legacy, the impotency of the Republican party. This guy will go down in history as the bad karma President. If you recall, the day he took the oath of office, the first time, it rained on his parade. This was an omen – he brought rain drops into so many lives. Now you know why McCain can kiss the Presidency good-bye and we will be left with a smiled-faced, arrogant piece of cotton candy. But wait – there is an alternative, a loop-hole – you can write in Hillary Clinton on the November ballot and if the Obamaites don't tamper with it, we can still put Hillary in the White House and stop Obama.

Holla at your boy Mitch!! Holla at your boy!!

Don't worry Mitch, once I become President in the later future, I'm going to show the GOP how is supposed to be done……with style! LOL!!!
