Who Is Being Cocky?

Listening to liberal media outlets, formerly known as MSM, you would assume that Republicans have lost control of the House, and are in peril of losing the senate.  Tune in to any channel, and it's a "done deal".  Or is it?

While the left seems to be a "united front" against the reigning GOP leadership, cohesion does not seem to be a hallmark of their current mindset. 

"Charging toward the biggest election day of his career, [Rham] Emanuel, the 47-year-old chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, doesn't have much time for niceties.

Or, sometimes, even food. He's lost 14 pounds as the whirl of wheedling donors and lashing candidates to meet their fund raising targets has reached hurricane status in recent weeks. (It had been at least a year since he'd indulged his taste for Manny's corned beef.) He's always been slight, but his collar now gaps a bit at the neck; his cheeks, always lean, are now almost skeletal under the graying runner's buzz cut and the basset-hound eyes. He rubs his jaw (and you notice that he's missing a finger; he lost one to a boyhood infection). He admits he's not sleeping well.

"He's driving himself to exhaustion," says Paul Begala, a friend and political compatriot since they both served on Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign and afterward in the White House. "He's like Lyndon Johnson, who finished almost every campaign in a hospital bed. As someone from Texas, I don't make that comparison lightly, but Rahm just may be our skinny, nine-fingered, Jewish, Chicago version of LBJ."

Is it just me, or does this sound just a weeeee bit like desperation? 

Why would the American people want to change leadership in the House?  Without the current House leadership, we would have amnesty for 12 million illegal aliens, if the Senate bill "McCain Kennedy" bill had been passed.  The only reason we have a bill for a FENCE on the border is because the House refused to allow amnesty until the border was secured. 

As I have said before, the media has very little faith in the American people.  I believe the American people will do the RIGHT thing on November 7.

    This is all McCain's fault. He kept pushing a bill that no one except the dinosaur media and he wanted. It was called, "McCain-Feingold." In other words, "Incumbancy Insurance Act." I despise him for this. I am even still angry at Bush for signing it and expecting the courts to cover his rear-end. Argghh!
