[Kuya]

Skirkle, the campaign slogan sounds like: vote for us because they're worse than us.

[Conrad]

Well, "terrible" is a very relative term, and that is technically correct sort of.

this is how all decisions are made

[Kuya]

Yes, but is that the best they can come up with?

[Kuya]

It's like they're not even trying anymore.

What a fuckin revelation. Don't know why I bothered to make a post earlier clowning the slogan while tryin to sound smart bout politics and stuff. I'll keep that shit in the gen forum next time.

[Lucienne]

I think you just try too hard.

[Qalbert]

I think you should keep all your shit in the general forum

[Conrad]

The Democrats have long been equated with lacking a backbone or being weak-willed, and Obama is not living up to expectations. The midterm elections are typically treated as a referendum of the President's performance, so I wonder if they all feel as if it's a fruitless endeavor to try and campaign to save their seats since they're expecting to lose the majority anyway.

[Conrad]

Do the districts get redrawn for this election, or are they not updated until 2012?

[Kuya]

What would the democrats losing a majority look like exactly in terms of policy outlook for the next 2 years?

[notorious bum]

I thought the swingers and playbook analogies were pretty good actually. Came to me while watching some elections debate recently.

edit: the dems have majority right now?

just like it did in 1994 when they lost there, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_with_America

put probably more wacky if not destructive since this fox/tea stuff wasn't there in 1994

edit: also subpoenas will be issued, the republicans will do anything they can to stop obama from doing anything, even if they agree w/ the policy
