GOP attempting To Get Us To Forget That They Ran Government

An elephant tries to get us to forget?

No wonder the last gasp battle cry from the GOP is do not let the Dems control the White House, the Senate, and the House.  They remember how bad it was when they ran all three......

Recent History:

The 107th (2001-2003)  elected as a GOP majority in both House and Senate with the Senate changing in June 2001 when Jeffords changed from (r) to (i).GOP President.

The 108th (2003-2005) elected and remained a GOP majority in both House and Senate.  GOP President.

The 109th (2005-2007) elected and remained a GOP majority in both House and Senate.  GOP President.

And we went from a surplus to a spiraling debt during this time?

Perhaps it would be better to say that it would be wise not to let the GOP touch anything.

That appears to be the sentiment of the majority of likely voters with one week to go....did the GOP think we would forget?  This Obama/Pelosi/Reid chant is hurting them worse than Ayers and Palin.

Denial is not a river in Eygpt...it is the creed of the GOP.

Alaska Senator Ted Stevens Found Guilty

  There is justice in the world at times, and this is one of those times! Another Republican crook bites the dust. In an extra dose of justice, Steven's either has to give up his fight for his Senate seat ( drop out of the race ) or run as a convicted felon.

The Hill

Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Republican senator in history and patriarch of Alaska politics, was convicted Monday of all seven felony charges for making false statements.

Shortly before 4 p.m., the jury convicted the 84-year-old senator for making false statements by failing to report more than $250,000 in gifts from Bill Allen, the former head of Veco Corp., and other friends.

Stevens has yet to indicate if he will appeal the charges.

   Sentencing has been put off until February 23, 2009. Dear old Ted is looking at up to 5 years prison time on each count.

   It looks as if the Democrats will be getting one step closer to that magic 60 in the Senate.
