Darth just can not stop himself from misquoting poll numbers.
The 11% is not for Democrats or even for “Defeatocrats”
it is for Congress as a whole. Within Congress Americans consistently give higher ratings to the Democrats.

Americans also consistently (meaning for the last 2 years) choose the Democrats as the party they affiliate with
Gallup Oct 4-7 2007

But I actually prefer to keep track of where Americans choose to place their money in politics Intrades is the biggest political futures market when you look there you can see how grim things look for the G.O.P.

Darth the current price to buy a futures contract that would pay 100 dollars if the Republicans take back controp of the House of Reps in 2008 is realllly cheap !!!

You shoud really get on the Center for American Progress Action Fund email list. It is another hoot.
Sometimes When You Win, You Really Lose

Conservative lawmakers in the House of Representatives sided with President Bush yesterday in denying millions of children the opportunity to receive health insurance. Congress fell 13 votes short of the two-thirds majority needed to override Bush’s veto of the popular and successful State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), but in doing so, picked up eight votes from the original House vote just a few weeks ago. Forty-four Republicans voted for the override. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino triumphantly declared, “We won this round on SCHIP.” For the White House, indeed the debate about expanding SCHIP was a political game to be won or lost. But for millions of children who were denied health care coverage because of Bush’s veto, yesterday’s vote was a somber reminder that the president stands squarely against their interests. “Eight in 10 Americans favor expanding the State Children’s Health Insurance Program,” and only 22 percent approve of Bush’s handling of the issue. Congressional leaders “vow[ed] to keep up the fight,” and pledged to re-ignite the legislation in the very near future. For the cost of just 41 days of war in Iraq, the nation could insure 10 million children for one year.

that is just the first paragraph. It is a hoot reading it whenever it comes to my email box.

If there’s a ‘Sinking SCHIP or Limo’ a Kennedy has to be involved! What? The children don’t get any free health care now? They still have Halloween freebies in a few weeks! No wonder the Defeatocrats are at 11%! … 11%? Are you kidding me, especially with the liberal elite media in their propaganda pockets?

It’s BDS, but it’s also pathetic, shabby reasoning; after all, libs have been launching ad hominem broadsides at conservatives since long before Bush. It’s the liberal worldview: “we’re completely right, and everyone knows it–therefore, anyone who disagrees is not only wrong, but probably evil.”

SCHIP Sunk…

The House of Representatives has failed to override Bush’s veto of the fraudulent SCHIP bill. AP reports that the pro-override forces fell more than a dozen votes short:
The 273-156 roll call was 13 votes short of the two-thirds that majority supp…
