Don’t worry Ari we’ll purge them for you

Although Tim Kaine won’t admit it (as it is his job not to) and the media doesn’t want to say it, I think the left knows the Big Red Wave is coming and has decided to has decided it’s time to make Lemonade:

A smaller majority, minus the intraparty feuding, could benefit Democrats

The only problem is that without blue dogs you can’t get that “majority” part done.

Ari I hate to break it to you, but the values and priorities of the Nation magazine are not, have never been and will never be the values and priorities of America. If they were then you side would be running on them.

But don’t worry about those nasty blue dogs, we’ll get rid of them for you come Nov 2nd.

Update: Betsy’s page opines:

After having passed their stimulus bill, assorted bailout, and the most monumental change in our nation’s health care since perhaps the 1960s, he’s complaining that they haven’t gotten enough done. Does he think that ObamaCare would have passed without the help of those Blue Dogs? Sure some voted against it, but some fell in line.

Actually Betsy Nancy had quite a lot of those blue dogs Fishbait Miller democrats in her pocket to use if needed. Ari knows this but wants to spin the defeat into a good idea for dems.

Update 2: Hotair gets it

Let me remind the ignorant at Mediate that anyone who has actually paid attention knows and can see that the Impeach Obama

Kesha Rogers DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOMINEE for congress in Texas 22nd district

signs with the Hitler Mustaches that you constantly see are held by the Lyndon LaRouche people who are not Tea Party people, they are in fact Democrats.

May I also point out that one of those LaRouche Democrats Kesha Rogers is actually the Democratic party nominee for congress in Tx-22?

This story has been covered by blogs such as Big Government and I Hate the Media ,but for some reason Mediaite the MSM, Bill Maher et/all have no use for it.

However AOL NEWS did talk to her and she had this to say:

9) In 50 words or less, what’s the first thing the new Congress should do to improve the economy?

Use the 25th Amendment to remove Obama from office, for mental incompetency. Then, reinstate FDR’s 1933 Glass-Steagall act, to end Wall Street bailouts. Invest trillions in physical infrastructure and productive jobs, especially in NASA, terraforming the biosphere, nuclear power and maglev rail. Revive the culture of the American Classical tradition.

10) In 50 words or less, what’s the biggest threat facing the country today?

Hyperinflation. The world banking system is hopelessly bankrupt, and simply printing bailout money will make our banks collapse. This is already happening. This policy will send the world into a dark age, and if not stopped with global Glass-Steagall type measures, will wipe out whole nations and cultures.

Let’s just remind you…this is the DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE for congress in Tx-22. (the republican office holder is 1st term congressman Pete Olson btw)

Maybe it’s just me but I think that a black woman calling for the removal of President Obama from office representing the Democratic Party in a congressional election would seem like an interesting story to me.

But Rob Reiner (who is a great comic and director) finds comfort in their Nazi fantasies, that way when they lose to the Big Red Wave, it won’t be because the American people rejected them, it will be due to the forces of Evil!

Ezra still has that Journolist perspective

Stacy Teases him but I think the headline is really revealing.

Do the pollsemphasis mine back up the attacks on the Chamber of Commerce?

Not do the facts, not does the evidence, do the polls!

Remember in the days of Journolist (you know that scandal that the Morning Joe crew never asked Ezra about during his appearances on the show)
when the debate was about spin vs facts. It wasn’t a question of what was true, it was a question of if it would work.

I’m sure Ezra and pals have still have a listserv somewhere that this is discussed but the Journolist priority of how it spins never leaves. That’s because it wasn’t a function of Journolist…it is the function of the people in it.

Answer: Things are so bad for the Democrats that they are touting polls for a race that doesn’t exist.

Question: How bad are things actually for the democratic party and liberals?

When you leave the WW 2 memorial trashed after your rally, that’s bad

When you need Oprah to pay for people to go to your event, that’s worse.

But when you find yourself taking polls about a race that doesn’t exist, against an opponent that isn’t running to make an incumbent democratic senator look strong. That’s just idiotic:

The answer is not so well. Nelson leads Limbaugh 50-36 in that hypothetical match up. Nelson would have his party base pretty well locked up, independents would go for him overwhelmingly by a 58-30 margin, and even 21% of Republicans say they’d prefer Nelson to Limbaugh.

Earth to PPP Nelson isn’t running against Limbaugh and never will be. You make yourselves look like fools when this is what you are writing about 17 days before an election.
