A Long Record of Obamite Thuggery

Take away 40 from this list, and the GOP would STILL have 76 trombones to lead the big parade!! The list is the incredibly useful work of Jim Geraghty at NRO’s Campaign Spot. It’s a great way to keep track of seats that could switch to the GOP. On the other hand, I think only nine seats have a chance to go from the GOP to the Dems, and really only five of them are real possibilities. In one of those, in New Orleans, GOPer and firm pro lifer Joseph Cao faces an electorate that, if memory serves, is 64% black and 73 % Democrat. But don’t count him out: His opponent has a sleazy record (more on that in a coming post) and Cao is an incredibly hard worker.
But back to Geraghty’s list: What’s amazing is that so few of the supposedly vulnerable Democrats can seriously argue that they really are safe…..

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

The September Unempl0yment Figures sealed the fate of The Democrats.
This can easily fall off the table and become a Voters' Tsunami on November 2nd.
The Tea Party Rebellion Escalates.

Uh oh! Cao is hard working? Democrats don't like that. He's Asian? Blacks don't like that. Cao's opponent has a sleazy record? Black Democrats love that (see Maxine Waters, John Conyers, Charlie Rangel, city of Detroit, etc.) Sounds like Cao is toast.

I am a democrat and Oregonian and thank you for voting yes tonight on health care reform house bill 3962. Thank you for stepping forward and may your colleagues follow your lead in the future. Those in Louisiana and nationally will remember this moment.
What a guy :\

Speaking of 'sleazy', the political smear tactics that the the Democrats in Louisiana have been running in the US Senatorial race against their Republican opponent [in addition to the inept opposition candidates that they have been fielding against the Republican] are more akin to GUTTER POLITICAL TRICKS [pardon the play on words] or possibly CHICAGO WAY GANGSTERISM [and I'll be more than happy to post an example/link if necessary or desired]!!!!!!!!!!!!
