Hey, Doggyknees, you were wrong. Over it yet? Good, 'cause we got work to do…
I think you can keep the hat uneaten. I’m not saying that a large amount of people didn’t know he was a Republican, I’m saying that he never publicized that, “I am a point for point partisan Republican.” He pretended he was an independent, but now that he’s elected he will slot in nicely with the Republican power structure.
Any gloat by the OP should take in all of the op-ed columnists who’ve been earnestly assuring us for months now that recent trends and demographics mean the Republican Party is dead dead dead.
Except that the G.O.P. just sat up in the cart and said “Not dead yet!”
Time for the Dems to employ new, sophisticated strategies in time for the November election.
What an appropriate link for a thread discussing the Senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy. 
And I see nothing in the Constitution barring the undead from Congress. How fiendishly clever.
But if you bring back Ted Kennedy, we bring back Dick Cheney.
Fair’s fair, after all.

OP: A knee-jerk partisan absolutist ideologue takes a look in the mirror.
Diogenes’ biggest sin was thinking the Democrats could avoid stepping on their own scrotum in an important election.
Meh. More US American politics. I would LOVE it if TPTB would make a forum just for that so I can avoid ever going there.
Its our planet. The rest of you just live here.

I find it terribly entertaining. Much more so than our politics. At the moment. That creepy libertopian Reagan-quoter seems very popular in the province at the moment.
You definitely have a Rorschach quality to you. Well, if you strip off the integrity and skill.
“Diogenes”, “scrotum”, “election”… there’s a teabagging joke in there somewhere. I’ll let you know when I find it.
At least Brown is pro-choice. If the teabaggers want to keep loading the Senate with pro-abortion Republians, that’s ok with me.
It’s obvious the Democrats were never going to keep a supermajority anyway, and if the Republicans start trying to filibuster everything like little babies, it will only backfire on them anyway.
Sorry to disappoint, but I don’t actually care that much about the result. It’s one seat. Carry on.
Diogenes! So good of you to join us! So… how’s it feel to be teabagged?
(found it)
I wouldn’t know, I’m strictly a top.
He was a little intemperate about Brown’s chances, wasn’t he?
Well, we poked at you guys over your WMD in Iraq fiasco, so it’s only fair to see you poke Diogenes over his personal craziness here.
Post one if you want, but the mods will probably just merge your thread back into this one.
I dunno. Considering your quotes (in the OP) you sound like a glutton for humiliation.
Red team wins! Red team wins!
Go Red team! Blue team sucks! Blue team sucks!
(what does the red team stand for anyway, and what are the major policies in play?)
Huh? Wha? Fuckin’ inerlectual!
Red team won! Red team won! Go red team!
Wouldn’t it be nice if one of these days they grew an actual spine and USED their majority? At least we’d have something not completely wishy-washy to argue about at that point.
