Did we win Colorado? Yep took Illinois. BO's claim that Illinois is his new home. Not anymore....now Hawaii can take his pathetic ass back where he belongs.


WHERE is Lil Debbie Wasserman Schultz.....did she go and hide back under that Rock she crawled out of? :lol:

The Press should be all over that dingbat.....and letting her hear how wrong she was and totally out of touch with reality.

Debbie really should be embarrassed with her crystal ball prediction.
Damn...she's irritating to listen to.

I just turned to MSNBC for some fun. I think Maddow may cry on air. She just said something about Republicans not wanting to govern, they just want to make Obama look bad (like he isn't already doing that on his own). The wake continues.

That dude Maddow never quits.

Ohh, she's just crying into her latte, 'cause this all happened under her watch at leading the DNC, not that she was ever any good at it.

Neither did the Trayvon Martin, Ferguson, KKK Conservatives strategy either... Thank God America sees through all of that garbage.

I agree about the pendulum swing, but it is a very disappointing outcome for the progressives. I'm glad somebody is having fun tonight. :2wave:

Not much to be down about. I'd be depressed if it were a general election outcome. But as it is, nothing was getting done due to filibuster in the senate and the house doing nothing but darrell issa investigations on nothing over and over and now we are going to have a house doing darrell issa investigations on nothing and a senate that, at most, will get filibustered nonstop or vetoed if not.

The colors change a bit but the results look like they will be the same as before.

Congress doesn't seem fine to me. Special interests are terrible for the country. Do you know how much federal money is wasted because institutions like for-profit colleges fund congressional races and ensure that there are no rules preventing them from exploiting grants and military benefits? Education, health care, and defense are all incredibly bloated because the people who are supposed to keep them in check are more or less their employees.

It's true that this could be a significant short term victory. But the trend is obvious: blame whoever is in charge instead of blaming ourselves for allowing our government to be owned by special interest groups, bureaucrats, and billionaires.

Nice soliloquy but it's not true. People bash on special interests a lot but I doubt you'd be so tough on the issues that you feel very strongly about, because I guarantee you there's a group out there for you. Really, special interest groups are the only thing keeping politicians honest to what the people want. People talk about all the money spent on ads but really, has an political ad ever swayed you to go one side or the other? This election wasn't about money, but about a country that is on the wrong track and looking for a different direction. Finally, about billionaires, I think I'd trust someone who's made billions (you don't make billions by the way, not personally anyways, on stocks so putting aside hedge brokers as a separate group) in fixing the economy, over some guy on a minimum wage job or some career politician in Washington.

I don't think Obama gives a ****, and really why should he? I mean Clinton was facing a re-election so he had to. Look if Obama was going to play "ball" he would of done it after 2010.

He gives a ****.

He's already called for a bipartisan meeting with Congressional leaders for Friday.

I'll roll with you on least transparent, form the perspective, and I think Rob would agree with me on this, the way Obama has gone hard after not only whistleblowers but the press in general. Remember him with the AP? I mean how many times has he dredged up the Espionage act?

I don't see him being that corrupt though man, at least no more than other president.

I do agree with you.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Hah! CNN is now reporting tat Angus King may flip and caucus with Republicans. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised to see Warner accept his victory in VA as a Republican.

Play ball how? He offered Repubs their own policies that they came up with but they still chose to vote it down because Obama was prez. What kind of ball playing does he need to do?
Click to expand...

Come on Rob, I know your smarter than that. Half those ideas comes from Rhinos in blue states, they are hardly representative of what the Republican Party wanted, especially with the Obamacare law. After all, proof is in the pudding, not one Republican voted for that law... not even Susan Collins from Maine... if you can't even get her on your side for something like that, you show just how little you care about Republican votes.

please expound on this with some content. See if you can get past the Obama jabs just once and actually say something, anything with content in it.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

The true nature of a Republican--trashing those when they're down.
We'll see how well this lame-duck session goes for the Turtle .

Special interests are really pockets of the American public vying for attention of politicians. There's nothing bad about it. Of course, I am the child of a lobbyist and I grew up with them. Special interests are groups I admire.
