Sweet

I was just about to revise my numbers upward for GOP gains in the fall when three things happened.

First, some Rand Paul classics have surfaced with him discussing the evils of Social Security and Medicare. One of the gimme seats for the GOP has now become a neck and neck race with Dem Jack Conway polling even with Paul. Rand-O might want to consider that old people are usually the ones who vote in higher numbers and while many may hate the government, they love their Social Security and Medicare.

By the way, I'm still waiting for one of my conservative readers to explain to me what would've happened to all that Social Security money had it been privatized prior to 2008. Ed? Anyone?

Second, we have David Vitter, still the GOP nominee despite the fact that he admitted to having sex with prostitutes. Not a big deal for me because I think it should be legalized anyway but I have to laugh at the people that support him but yell about Tim Geithner not paying his taxes or Rangel's lawbreaking. It's not __________ when we do it!!

Anyway, ol' Dave had this to say about the birther lawsuits.

I support conservative legal organizations and others who would bring that to court. I think that is the valid and most possibly effective grounds to do it.

Wow. I wonder if this will affect his lead in the polls. And didn't President Obama already produce his birth certificate? I know...I know....I just don't get it.

But Michelle Bachmann certainly gets it. Appearing at a right wing conference in Colorado, Bachmann had this to say about our current leadership.

We will talk a little bit about what has transpired in the last 18 months and would we count what has transpired into turning our country into a nation of slaves.

I'm sorry but I have to laugh. I was raked over the coals for using the word "slaves" as a metaphor in a discussion about corporate power over at TSM and I have yet to hear a peep about Bachmann's use of the word. It's not ______ when we do it!!

Honestly, I really can't wait until the party really gets started after Labor Day. It's going to be a real treat to see these three, Palin, and Engle saying things on camera.

And my numbers stay the same...20 lost in the house and 5 in the Senate.

Got a name handy, or are you just throwing this out there hoping that maybe someone supports Vitter?

Unlike you I don't hang on every (or even any) word that half-wit utters. I'll withhold comment as you've quite possibly snipped something out of context (or possibly made it up entirely); whereas I know the context you have used the word "slave" in at TSM and it was absolutely idiotic. Yet you refuse to learn.

Remember Juris - you and Ed are both held responsible for each and every thing David Vitter does. That's how it has worked on here for years. Charming isn't it?

Does that mean Mark is held responsible for the doings of Dennis Kucinich, Maxine Waters and Alan Grayson?

Silly me, of course not.

It's also rather amusing how silent Mark is on the subject of people like Sheila Jackson Lee,

or felons voting in MN elections,

That's right on your patch, isn't it Mark?
