From Wanker Adam Nagourney : "For Democrats, Even a Gain May Feel Like a Failure"
This is the most mind-numbing stupidest piece I've ever seen written in the NYT and of course it's Adam Nagourney.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 — In most midterm elections, an out-of-power party picking up, say, 14 seats in the House and five seats in the Senate could call it a pretty good night.

But for Democrats in 2006, that showing would mean coming up one seat shy of taking control of both the Senate and the House. And it would probably be branded a loss — in the case of the House, a big one.

God what a Wanker!

3. The republicans have had control of congress for about 12 years
Now their rein is being threatened

Before that the Democrats had control of congress for over 40 years

It obviously didn't take people very long to realize the fraud that has been perpetrated on them by this administration and the republican congress

They had an opportunity to unite the country and the world after 9/11, instead they spit in everyones face

This is just the beginning of their fall from power

4. Nagger: Another wanker republicon in "journalist's" clothing
Shouldn't he have his investigative nose in the republicon "christian" story about "Rev." Ted Haggard and his use of drugs and male prostitutes, and his "cozy" "relationship" with George AWOL Bush?

5. Wow, with that kind of logic
The Repubs losing the House (and maybe the senate too) = "success." :crazy:

8. He's right
In some ways, I would love to make sure the entire Iraq mess is blamed squarely on the Repukes. But far more than that, I want to see investigations of these thugs, and we need the house to do that. Anything less, to me, is a failure.
