2010 Midterm Results Discussion

How's that hope and change working out for you, 16 million unemployed Americans and 3 trillion added to the debt? The American people gave Republicans a historical change in the House which tells me all I need to know. The "party of no" now has the mandate to use that power to stop the massive growth in the govt.

How about those TX results! 20 more Republicans in the State Legislature, White wins Houston by only 20000 votes, Perry in a landslide! Looks to me like you still don't get it and probably never will

Sink concedes in Florida, another GOP Governor!

Yep it looks like we are going to be able to build up that 25 billion budget gap even bigger. At least that is how I'm making my financial bets.

It is a shame now though that tuition will have to go up at UT and many of the less advantaged kiddos will have to forgo a college education.

I hope so, then the blind will see what we already know. This guy abhors the United States and what it represents.

He is cornered bigtime. His healthcare plan will be defunded, Dems are going to extend the Bush tax cuts because their political lives depend on it, and the House is going to run bill after bill at him that sound great to us, that he'll have to veto them if he's going to adhere to the teachings of Ayers and his mentors.

Exactly, I want a president back in there who knows what the United States is about and what the people want. I want to restore the combat mission in Iraq and start making plans to attack Iran before they get nukes. I want to repeal these laws that protect little sick children from getting health insurance on the basis on "preexisting conditions", ha! Get a preexisting job you broke bastards! I want to take back these new regulations that prevent credit card companies from raising my interest rates without telling me. If my interest rate is raised, do you think I want to know about it? I want someone who will repeal the new federal loan system that will make it easier for my kid to get a college loan. Obama hates the American people and that's why he's passing these laws because he wants to make our lives worse. We need someone in there who actually cares about and will remove these policies.

Looks like the people of TX don't agree with you. The best state in the nation just got better. What are you going to say when that budget deficit isn't 25 billion? Bet you will run on to some other issue instead of admitting that you are wrong again.

In Iowa, colleges, espeically community colleges, are bracing for the pain that will come with Brandstad (R) being elected. A lot of unhappy educators in this state. Other than private colleges that is. If his past is any idication, he will reduce funding to state schools and increase funding to private colleges. Private colleges already get funding from the state.

Very true. Texans certainly know how to reduce deficits. People try to slam Bush because he increased the federal deficit more than other president before him, but the man was simply ahead of his time. They will realize his financial genius in years to come.
 
Republicans now control 1/6 of the federal Government.

What I thought was interesting is that the GOP/Tea Party backed a number of lobbyists and former congressmen. So much for all that anti-incumbent/ reshaping Washington b.s.

This election wasn't about the "will of the people." It was about the will of the wealthy corporate interests.

Tea Party anger was used and channeled by the power-elite GOP.
 
America kicks Nancy Pelosi out of America!!!! God Bless America!!

If they were going to 'reshape' Washington, why did they back oil and coal lobbyists for congressional seats??

The Tea Party is definitely in denial if they can't see how used they were.

Thankfully, the West stayed sane. Although, I think Whitman would have made a good Gov. Her concession speech was classy-- her supporters showed themselves to be classless.
 
I think I got the OP up to date. If I missed something post it and I will add it. Going to leave this stickied for awhile longer.

LOL, where do you get this stuff? Democrats outspent Republicans by a large amount yet the same old rhetoric from partisan Democrats claiming corporate spending turned the trick. Do you realize how foolish that is in the face of actual results? Notice where Democrats won, large cities where unions control the minds and votes of their members and political bosses run wild. Check out the election map and get back to us.

I continue to be amazed at how little people understand about civics and government.

You do realized she won her seat?

Having a red/Teabag majority in the house is going to accomplish what, exactly? Writing and passing a bunch of bills that will never make it through the senate?

Great. Well done, Teabaggers.:applaud

Aw, gee, such disdain for the will of the people and the massive rejection of the Obama agenda! Nancy Pelosi, "YOU'RE FIRED!"

Look, Joe. Obama when he was elected touted that he would usher in an era lacking the partisan rancor that permeated during the Bush years. That was not only an obvious lie, but one that Obama himself ignored visibly during the past two years of his reign. That you can't even be honest that Obama and the demo's have been bitterly partisan in their approach, and one sided governing is a testament to one of the reasons that Pelosi will have to mount her broom and vacate the Speakers chair.
