Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Unfortunately leftists don't stop at just one woman, or one Black.

Yeah, yeah. "Leftists" are the real racists/sexists/etc.
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

Nothing but they do represent the will of the people and to continue to demonize them is to demonize the majority in this country who elected them.

Democrats do hold a majority in the Senate but lost seats and only won because of the big cities controlled by the city bosses. It does seem that compromise is giving into the liberals and what they want. Is that your definition of compromise?

The American people chose to re-elect Obama because they continue to buy the rhetoric and ignore the incompetence and the results. They didn't like Romney and thought Obama was the better alternative. They were wrong and that is surfacing today. I hope we survive three more years of Obama. I suggest you pay attention to the Obama results and tell my you support them?

what romney and the republican's were offering in 2012 was unpalatable to the majority of the American people.

the democrats kept control of the senate, kept their majority, because the people voted for them to represent them.

What Romney and the Republicans were offering was misquoted and distorted making it unpalatable for enough people to re-elect Obama. Obama lost millions of votes, the Democrats lost seats in the Senate yet what you fail to recognize is that more Districts are still Republican than Democrat.

And yet still a democrat is president. and considering the recent events it seems republicans are losing more and more support

i think you are qouting the wrong pollster or you don't understand the math.

yes the dems lost seats, but in 2012 the democrats won enough races for a net gain of 2 senate seats, from 51 to 53 (not including the 2 the independents who caucus with the democrats) while republicans went from 47 senators to 45. how is that a loss for the democrats?

as for the total results, here is the fec document relating to the 2012 elections.

and for your complaint about Romney being misquoted, that's how the modern game of politics is played, the media is a primary factor in deciding popular opinion.

The implication that derisive nicknames and nasty rhetoric are exclusive province of the "left" is utterly asinine. The "right" gets just as nasty, and anyone who denies that is a flaming liar.

In what District? You buy the national polls and promote them. We shall see if people remember the shutdown or the economic results next November. My bet is that in November 2014 the people will forget the shutdown but remember ACA and the disastrous Obama economic results

There is without question nasty behavior on the right as well, but it is not targeted by race and gender as is that of the left.:peace

the media coverage of the shutdown will be brought out again and again to remind the people otherwise.

I don't think people are going to forget Bush's Great Recession any time soon. It is imprinted on the minds of people like the Great Deprision is. Also I I don't think the voting populace is going to forgot the burn and slash take no prisoners mentality of some in in congress as of late

So the people didn't vote for them because the people didn't vote for them.

Any specifics you can offer?

And America is in decline.

Coincidence?

Yep, it sure will but you know that the American people will still be feeling the Obama economic results and that is what will matter. We shall see, arguing about it now is nothing more than speculation but what I do see are people like you ignoring those results so keep diverting and I will keep pointing out the results.

Well, when you really believe you know what's best for everyone, the least they can do is to stop the "independent" thinker nonsense! The nerve of some people! :mrgreen:

So you are in favor of electoral candidates being misquoted in this modern era because it's how the game is played? It will be interesting where this leads if more people share your point of view.

An implication?

No, it is straightforward fact.

Can you name any Democrat women who were attacked with the same continued ferocity as Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann?
