Gloom and Doom

Hastert out? Good riddance, say the Freepers. But a Dem replacing him? Uh oh...

acapesket (never had a vote count in all my years here) starts the gloomfest off:

Get used to it Gang..
we're screwed.
My husband had on an alphabet channel national News network tonight, I recognized Lester Holt. Hubby had been watching golf. I wanted to take a shower when it was over, and I was making dinner in the kitchen at the time of the broadcast and couldn't hear it all.. Thank God!
Do Not Watch TV and encourage your more mentally negligble fellow travelers to turn it off.
Propaganda, pure and simple.

Goddamn news, always reporting facts!

Tailback thought this was a Ralph Nader forum:

Big deal...
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Corrupt, inept, and will spend like a drunken sailor.

ChiMark explains why:

The American people are buying into socialism.
Foster promises free health care for everyone.
I would have thought Cook county tax increse would scare
voters away from the democrats but it seems as though the people in Dupage and Kane county want high taxes too.
Apparently, Americans believe that government
is the suckling pig of prosperity.

Does this could foreshadow a huge republican loss in
November?

"government is the suckling pig of prosperity." Awesome.

But wait! This is Free Republic, the land of Conservative mythos. The good guys don't lose, God won't let them!

Migraine, unironically (I think)

Wow! This thread is needlessly pessimistic. Hastert’s demise, and that of his former district, does not a November make!@$&$%^#@%^#*&^ I am here to interject HOPE. I tell ya, people criticize me for interjecting HOPE; but HOPE is nothing more, nothing less, that knowing that our country is still the best place in the entire world, and that our country will do the right thing in the end. I also am jazzed that the demodogs are presently in the midst of slaughtering themselves.

So. Please don’t melt down yet. You’ll see. The country is not ready to elect America-haters, nor communists, just yet. And, once the November campaign is stated in those terms, McCain could, ironically, have some enormous coattails. OK, flame away.
