The Mid-Terms Results Thread [W:517]

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

I'm sure you had much more fun than I did two years ago. :) Don't be bummed for too long. There'll be more dismay in my future and brighter day in yours no doubt.



Well, the next two years will be pretty dam interesting I think. I hope I will smile again in 2016!
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Yeah, seems that Nate's been awfully quite throughout this election cycle.
Or is it maybe that his results just weren't the stuff that the network news guys wanted to cover? Hmmm.

I've heard his name dropped on fox quite a few times when he predicted a while ago that the GOP would take the senate.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Since they hadn't noticed it in the last 4 years, what makes you think they will now?

Well there those out there like me that won't let them forget it for days on end.....plus several pollsters are talking about how the MS media tried to play with North Carolina and Georgia.

Its good enough for me to go after those in the MS media that like to play with terminology and messaging. We should be about destroying those liberals careers and running them out of the industry. Let them go back to what they did before......work as aides to Democrats.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Not a laughing matter, is it?

YOur extremism is hilarious. Worst president ever. More nixonian than nixon. Sooooo corrupt. lol

As if Obama had started a war in central america using drug money and selling weapons of war to our enemies against the consent of congress.

Spoken as someone without a clue on IL as I wuld expect.
70 million normally beats 30 million--
DEMs know what faces them for 2016 and we are proud of who we are--not running from our brand--
Are you still denying yer a Republican or have you jumped on the bandwagon like the rest of these new-found GOP ?

WTF are you talking about? Where have I ever denied voting GOP? I can't call myself a registered Republican because we don't do that in Texas but I've donated both to the RNC and GOP candidates.
 
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.

I wonder if Joe Manchin flips.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

I feel like if they were to make Obamacare priority one, I think it just blows up in their face. And it's obviously not going to pass a Presidential VETO so obviously not getting done. What Republicans HAVE to do, to restore any credibility, is come up with a series of legislations that have popular support, get them passed and let Obama veto the hell out of them first. At least then it looks less political instead of going straight for Obamacare. Hell, leave it alone and you might actually get Obama to work with you...

I disagree and here's why.

Do you agree or disagree that Obamacare was one of the primary things driving the Republican victories today? If you disagree, then what's your explanation of the NUMEROUS polls that seem to show it's one of the primary issues in voters minds and the various data showing it was the most focused upon issue across the country?

If you agree...then the Republicans would be doing a disservice to their constituents if they don't make a go at it soon.

I don't think it will hurt them if they make Obamacare priority number one. What I think will hurt them is if they make it priority one, get it vetoed, and then spend the next 3 months still focusing singularly on obamacare rather than moving on to broader issues that they have a legitimate chance of picking up 1 to 10 democrats in support of and pushing ahead on that.

But I disagree entirely with you on not taking on Obamacare immediately. It's too big and instrumental of an issue with this race to simply then come in and ignore.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

He gives a ****.

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

Thats a wise decision.

Dunno. It really depends on what he says, how he handles the situation, what his intentions are, and how it's received and handled by the congressional leaders.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Its cool enough for merlot out here. I might regret that tomorrow. One of the few good things about Ca is the wine. :lol:

Nah, no regrets - I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't watched it happen! :lol:
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Im sorry for your frustration. Now if you will excuse me its victory night.

So you don't now how to explain what you said? OK.... no surprise here.

:lol:

I really hope you are joking. Obama had a shot in 2010 to do this, and why would he do anything substantive now that he doesn't have to worry about re-election? Look I hope for this country's sake I'm wrong, but really, it's all PR until Obama and whomever is the Republican representative come out hand and hand with a plan. I don't like the idea of having all the leaders up there, as it just muddies up the waters, let Obama be on one side and a strong Republcian on the other, and one on one make things happened. Easier to do without having ten people in the room..

True. The next 2 years will be interesting. Interesting how the dynamic in DC changes, and what comes of it.

But I do hope that you'll smile well before 2016. Going without smiling for too long isn't really something that I'd wish on anyone. :)

And I hope you won't (nothing personal). :D
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Brownback wins in Kansas!
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

I see him as the worst, certainly in my lifetime and Im 34.

What has he done that makes him so much more corrupt then say Bush Jr. I mean he handed out political favors, same as Obama did. I doubt it was ever really either of the two, but this is politics, it's a quid pro quo game.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

That dude Maddow never quits.

It's so sad at MSNBC that they have an article blaming Biden for the loss in Kansas because he accidentally told a radio show that he expected Orman to caucus with the Democrats.

How bad must Dem prospects be when they can't admit the obvious party loyalty of an Independent?
 
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 .

What goes around comes around Nimby.....you weren't looking for sympathy votes now were you? :lamo
