BWAHAHAHA! BWAHAHAHA!
... to borrow an expression from Gordon King.Okay, a trip down memory lane:
David Farrar, just a year and a half ago, on why the Republicans keep on winning:
The Republican Party in the US is on the verge of becoming the natural party of Government. This is not due to their strengths as much as the idiocy of the Democratic Party which makes Michael Moore their unofficial spokesperson.You can guarantee whenever anyone uses the term "natural party of government", on any side, it's about to turn to custard.
And, of course, Adolf, strident!
During the early hours of Anzac Day, Adolf contemplated a post on Iraq. Among other things Adolf considered the unreported relative calm in the country. eg the number of bombings and killings seems to have subsided recently. It seems the end game is at hand, wherein the Iraqi army is close to taking over much responsibility for internal security while the Americans go about the jobs of cleaning out the last vestiges of Baathists and Syria/Iran sponsored trouble makers and sorting out a palpably corrupt and infiltrated police foce, thereby releasing some 50,000 or so troops to come home before November. (God, how the dopey Doncs hate to hear that.)Hmmm, let's just call that a wet dream. Okay Adolf, did you take the bet or not? And what was in the super secret small print?

And what I said was true. I said the GOP were not good, but the Democrats generally stuff things up.
Since that *general* statement I have written many tyimes in the last few months that the Dems will probably win at least the House, and that in fact the Republicans deserve a huge kick up their pants.
In the end the swing to the Democrats was only marginally greater than the post WWII average swing in the 6th year of a Presidential term. You would have thought with the President having the lowest approval ratings in history, a hugely unpopular war, multiple corruptions scandals, hypocrisy over morals and a total absence of fiscal discipline the Democrats should have had an avalanche.
Yes, me very childish. (BWAHAHAHA!)
So why do the Republicans keep on winning? Oh, sorry that's now historical, after just a year and a half.
Anyhow...
I thought the Dems should have done two things much more strongly in the campaign;
1) roll out that govt spending chart and talk about spending a lot more
2) Incessently label the administration as incompetent, in the same way Brash has been labelling Labour corrupt.
There's something so goshdarned cute about those bloggers who consistently refer to themselves in the third person.
Really, you could poke both of their weeny little eyes out with one finger.
Thats really really sad.
I guess if you have got nothing better to say on your blog you may as well take what others said out of context and pass it off as humour eh?
The truly ironic thing is David has done much the same to Jordan in the past. He can dish it out, but obviously can't handle it himself.
Oh no Rob... you've gone and upset DPF now with your crappy behaviour.

What! Adolf is not a parody?
I thought any idiot that wrote about himself in the third person had to be taking the piss. Though that whole blog is an absolute joke – the last bastion of Muslim hating climate denying neo-conservatives. After Adolf my two faves are Lucyna and Andrei. It used to be AL but he seems to have unfortunately mellowed out a wee bit. I go there whenever I need a good laugh.
And could David.P.Farrar get anymore sanctimonious:

David and his dream team of merry yes men make silly outlandish predictions constantly. Though what I love was his US election thread that started with such gusto with pearlers like this:
"Too soon to say in the House. Exit polls make it look like the Dems should get a doble digit majority, but they have been wrong before!"
And then it petered out as soon as it looked like the GOP were getting their backsides handed to them.
And what a conspicuous lack of comments from the usual suspects.
http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2006/11/us_midterm_election_results.htm
ahh the blogesphere…
By the next day the "usual suspects" were able to sink their small, ineffectual teeth into an issue that really mattered to them: txt talk in exams. "No no no no" they cried in unison, conveniently giving them something else to get upset about than the "thumping" received by their Greatest American Heroes (TM).
David Farrar's relationship with relevancy is informal at best. Who really gives an airborne crap what this moron vents in that cyber-fantasy landscape he inhabits?
It was amusing to see Kiwi Blog suddenly go quiet about the GOP thumping and ignore the election news as soon as things went bad for the GOP.This seems to be the way all the other GOP supporter bloggers seem to be coping by pretending nothing had happened and other news was more important. Imagine the GOP flag waving if the GOP had won.
The same has been happening on the White House TV channel Fox news where the hosts who have been openly capaigning for the GOP heavily the last few weeks resort to the Britney Spears divorce story whenn the election results just get worse for them. The fair and balanced white house reporter made an outrageous comment along the lines that president Bush wanted us to know he had done everything possible to stop this terrible "thing" happening. What terrible thing? It sounded as if there had been another 9/11. I was waiting for the hosts to say the terrorists have won because it was obvious from their facial expressions they thought that was the case.
Yeah, agreed, Dpfs blog really has turned into somewhat of a joke. DO these people really belive they have any relevancy to mainstream political commentry.
I disagree with DPF more often than not, but the fact most of this thread is bashing him shows that his influence is what other bloggers dream of.
I did find it amusing the election thread turned into a muslim bashing one. I guess some people can't just keep their dignity with silence.
"I disagree with DPF more often than not, but the fact most of this thread is bashing him shows that his influence is what other bloggers dream of."
No it shows that a lot of people think he is a jumped up nobody with an blog.
Oddly, I find myself in agreement with DPF quite often. He's a social liberal, which is pretty much what I am. Economically we probably have more in common than we realise as well, thought he emphasis would be different.
His blog is influential, whether you agree with it or not.
That said, I've been waiting for a good BWAHAHAHA! for six years and I'm damn well gonna grab it!
You are a... social liberal?
Eww.
Wet.
Damp, Juha. Soggy at most.
Good God the anoymous morons are out in force. And morons they are as they can't even read.
I go to the trouble of mentioning on my blog that my coverage of the US election will stop at 6pm as I will be down at Parliament for the drinking age bill.
I even mention the next day I was out until 4 am celebrating the drinmking age bill.
But no our pet morons come up with their Einstein theory that I stopped blogging on the US elections because I was upset the GOP was doing badly.
Simply unbelievable. Do you have to train to be that stupid or does it come naturally?
Adolf's a natural.
No-one can fake stupid that well.
Feel better now?
david, it's the public sphere mate. it's not what you actually do, it's the way it looks.
and it looked for all intents and purposes like you took off to be upset about the GOP loss.
The vast majority of readers, who are lierate, would have read what I posted at 10 am:
"Talking of elections I'll cover some results as they come in, but after 6 pm I'll probably be at Parliament for the second reading of the drinking age bill, so no coverage from 6 pm to 10 pm probably."
The fact one or two anonymous cowards either deliberately or through stupidity jump to false conclusions reflects far more on them, then me.
The blogger doth protest toomuch, methinks
