predicted by many.
But after Democrats actually gained seats party supporters
wasted no time in taking their celebration on-line.
SAMPLE
DISCUSSION
TOPICS: "...Try to put a positive spin on the rightwing defeat. Do
what it takes to make yourself feel better. 6 years of
Rightwing Clinton bashing came to an end tonight."
"...I really hate to say it, but it's time for a change in
the leadership of the Republican Party. We have a
Presidential election in two years. If the Republicans can't
hold their own in the House in an off-year election, how in
the hell can they take the Presidency two years later?"
"...The GOP Kooks and other assorted Right Wing Fanatics
received a strong message yesterday: Grow up or shut up.
Your pathetic attempts to pin your Congressional hopes on
Clinton's personal mistake has backfired. You either learn
to raise the level of your discourse or you lose Congress in
the next election. "
