Hardly worth a rant, but dropped here in the Pit because there aren’t any other forums appropriate for it. Geez, **What the…!!!,** we all know the election is a week away, and your beloved Republicans are expected to get their asses kicked. But do you think you could ease up _just a skoosh_ on the wholescale spamming of Great Debates with “The evil Dems are coming!” threads? I mean, previously we had [“Foley could backfire on Dems,”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=391033) [“TN senate RNC Ford add - rascist?”,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=393575) and [“VA senate seat: Looks like Webb is toast to me,”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=393849) all of which largely failed in trying to bolster the Republicans. And now today you graced us with [“Kerry’s Botched Joke,”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=394402) [“Backfire Take 2 - Could the MSM blow it?”,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=394379) and [“How will the Senate tightening (or takeover) affect Judicial appointments?”,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=394332) none of which show any signs of having any more traction than your earlier efforts. I know, I know, the fax machine is a-overflowin’ with the latest talking points from GOP Party Headquarters, but you really _don’t_ need to regale us all with your “brilliant insights,” since we’ve already got a cadre of right-wing media outlets to do the job. Take a break, buddy. Heck, it’s Halloween; go put on your Hillary Clinton mask and go trick-or-treating for some candy or something… ---

[QUOTE=Voyager] Will the backfire of Bush saying a vote for the Dems is a vote for the terrorists also backfire on the Dems? [/QUOTE] That’s what Rove wants you to think. In reality, he knows that the backfire will, itself, create a secondary backfire, that will ricochet off the gay marriage amendment and backfire into Nancy Pelosi’s tush. ---

But if Nancy Pelosi becomes Speaker of the House, we will surrender to the terrorists and it will be the end of the west as we know it. ---

Actually, I must comment on the beefy-ness of Biblegirl. Setting aside those spindly legs, she looks like Brian Urlacher with a wig and some pamphlets. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/minor-what-the-with-what-the-s-threads/378640.md?page=2)
