2010 midterms looking good for GOP

It’s going to be a tough fight, putting together a reform agenda, an economic plan that offers real hope, and taking advantage of Obama Disillusionment Syndrome, but the political textbooks say that mid-term elections are always hardest on first-term presidents and so far the cards seem to be stacking in the GOP’s favor.

At least 11 Democrat congressmen have announced their intent not to run, with more on the way, and there have already been a couple defections from the Dems to the GOP in the House. There are at least two vulnerable Dem seats in Congress that seem destined to change the party in control as both Harry Reid and Chris Dodd appear doomed to defeat; others could fall as well, if this ripple turns into a tidal wave if midterm discontent.

Of course, the biggest risk for the GOP is whether they will choose to sponsor Democrat-Lite candidates, or real conservatives that will offer voters a real choice in November. If the GOP returns to its Reagan roots, we could be looking at something akin to the 1994 GOP Revolt once again.

 
 
 

As world freezes, Gore has head in global warming sand

Algore is nothing if not delusional. The former vice-prez is still trying to sell his global warming Kool-Aid, not only in spite of the academic fraud scandal at the University of East Anglia, but in spite of record cold temps being set even as I right this.

Iowa is reporting temperatures that are, on average, 30 degrees below normal. The East Coast is facing an almost unparalleled deep freeze, and Florida is concerned about the current orange crop harvest being spoiled by that same freeze.

Peru’s mountain people could be wiped out, according to some reports, but record low temps; Beijing, China is reporting temperatures colder than any recorded in the last 40 years.

And yet Algore still clings to his fraudulent photos of polar bears on ice cap shards and whines about the need for carbon credits? Still believe in global warming is as reliable as good kitchen faucets? What’s it gonna take, man?
