Reply #22: This is wishful thinking [View All]

I’d be very surprised if ANY congressmen are gone because of this by next election, let alone more than one or two. It’s probably wishful thinking to think a lot of incumbents will be voted out of office. People in Sugarland knew this could happen last year and still voted Delay against a strong democratic candidate. Even if the democrats found an equally strong candidate, they would have to flip 15% or so of voters away from Delay. I’m not sure I see it happening. I imagine it’s the same way in a lot of these districts. Of course it could make a difference in some more up for grabs districts or in races with an exceptionally strong democratic candidate – maybe just enough to regain control of the house, but I wouldn’t count on it.

We can’t win back the government by hoping the other guys screw up. They have a huge segment of the population that will vote for any vile creature and put up with anything they do as long as they want to stop abortion. Why can’t we find something to get people that fired up about us?
