What I'm still trying to figure out is how Murtha won in PA by calling the people in his district, "racists, rednecks, and bigots". Those people in Murtha's district can also be called something else, "stupid".

Too bad that Virgil Goode is such a poor loser. We certainly gained lots of seats in Congress this election!

2008 White House Holiday Poem

T'was the night before Xmas,
and all through the White House
shredders were shredding all through the night.
Files were deleted to be kept out of our sight,
no evidence left of the bushwhacker's blight!

Yes We Did!

Reichert ran a really dirty campaign, worse than McCain's.

I done with Morning Joe. Things slip, I understand, and forgive, but to tell me to get over it! I can no longer watch this man. I have never seen anyone so arrogant.

"No Goode" Goode is an example of the past in "Southside" Virginia. About as "reactionary" as they come. Hope the recount doesn't fly. This "party flipper" needs to go into retirement.

Lisa @10:16######I agree with you about Morning Joe. This program has become so one sided,I can't watch it any more. Even Mika has sided with Joe, maybe she has to so she can keep her job. I would prefer Imus to this show.
