Inhofe: Specter switch foreshadows 2010 GOP landslide
@ 1:21 pm by Michael O'Brien


Sen. Arlen Specter's decision to switch parties and run for reelection as a Democrat foreshadows a Republican landslide in midterm elections, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) argued Wednesday.

"This is the first visible evidence that what happened in 1993 is happening again now," Inhofe said during an appearance on Fox News, arguing that the 2010 midterm elections will mirror the 1994 elections in which Republicans made major gains.

Inhofe said that voters' turn against President Clinton's initiatives on healthcare and the military in 1994 would see history repeat itself in 2010, with voters again turning against the Obama administration's proiorities. He cited Specter and Republican candidate Pat Toomey as evidence.

"The guy that ran against him and was defeated by Arlen Specter six years ago now is so far ahead of him that Arlen Specter's own adviser said there's no way that you can win this thing unless you change to the Democratic Party," Inhofe explained. "Now, to me, that's the evidence it's coming."

Inhofe said he doesn't buy analysis by conservative pundit Fred Barnes, who's argued that 2010 will see Republicans receive another drubbing at the polls. If anything, Inhofe argued, Democrats' having 60 votes in the Senate will only intensify voters' desire to unseat Democrats in the midterm elections.

1. dear senator inhofe, please pass the bong.

[Jackpine Radical]

8. Aw, crap. We'd all be better off it he did get into some good weed.

Inhofe's headspace has nothing to do with a nice, benign herb like cannabis.

Edited to correct interesting type--I originally typed "god weed."

[Uncle Joe]

16. I totally agree, however I believe Inhofe would be as dangerous with bong water

as Cheney with a shotgun.

Anyone partying with Inhofe would be wise to wear a rain coat to the festivities.

21. Don't bogart that joint, Senator!

:smoke:

2. Chortle

This guy really lives in an alternate universe..
known as Oklahoma.

[BOSSHOG]

3. Does that mean that republicans will shut down the government in 2011?

Please President Obama don't make boner sit in the back of AF1

[Kookaburra]

4. Keep telling yourself that Jimmy-boy.

[Jackpine Radical]

5. Inhofe--Living proof that a good delusional system is an asset

to a career in Republican politics.

That guy can spin pig vomit into fools gold.

[DebbieCDC]

6. Wow crack must be cheap in Oklahoma

Inhofe must have bought a truckload :rofl:

[Jackpine Radical]

10. Meth, more like it.

[DinahMoeHum]

7. In your wet dreams, Inhofe.

n/t

[Blackhatjack]

9. Just shows how deep the denial runs within the Repub Party and Its Leaders....

We can only hope that the Repubs will further 'sanitize' their base by forcing out those who are not 'true believers' of the rightwing conservative fundamentalist ideology.

A Political Party that continuously reduces its base is headed for the scrap heap of history.

Good Luck with that!

[Arkana]

11. Put the bong down and step back, Senator Global Warming is Liberal Propaganda.

[Occam Bandage]

12. So the fact that most of the PA GOP has become Democrats

stands as proof that the GOP is going to win in 2010. Er, yes. That makes lots of sense.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

13. Another Republican Baghdad Bob!

[lunatica]

14. Each idiot they trot out has a lower IQ

Surely soon they will have reached the bottom of the barrel. Surely...

[TheCoxwain]

15. Yes ... A Landslide DEFEAT

[opihimoimoi]

17. Too much bong water for the dude.....he is clearly outta his friggen mind...

[BurtWorm]

18. Inhofe is such an evidence-based Senator, too, isn't he?

:eyes:

[DFW]

19. These are the people that brought you "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq

Their idea of victory differs somewhat from ours.

[theoldman]

20. If I remember correctly, land slides down not up.

[KamaAina]

22. You're off message, Sen. Inhofe!

Arlen Specter's own adviser said there's no way that you can win this thing unless you change to the Democratic Party

It's the 'Democrat Party", or better still, "Democraps" or "Democrat Socialist Party"! :sarcasm:

[spanone]

23. i bet he also believes torture only produces the truth

[melm00se]

24. if Inhofe

said to bet on black, it's a sure thing, I'd probably bet it all on red.

[Sebastian Doyle]

25. Until we get rid of electro-fraud voting machines, NO election is safe.

Don't let November's election results fool you. Fortunately, the turnout was enough to override the fraud. In a mid term election, you can't count on that being the case.

And with the corporate whore media openly feeding the teabagger hysteria, it's obvious already what THEY want to see in 2010.

[madokie]

26. That sob is one crazy sorry assed senator

I'm told he is my senator but I don't claim him, never have never will.

[eppur_se_muova]

27. Yeah ... that's the ticket! nt
