It was definitely a election about Obama. Jeanne Shaheen is a brilliant campaigner and kept the election about New Hampshire. Did us a further service by ending Scott Brown's political career.
Scott Brown lost in Massachusetts because there is essentially no difference between him and his communist rival, Pocahontas Warren. He lost in New Hampshire because there is essentially no difference between him and the rabid leftist Jeanne Shaheen. But tell you what Ducky, continue to indulge yourself.

Tammy, You are absolutely correct. It was a firestorm of matters that caused these 2014 Election results.
And let's not forget the ObamaCare roll out and subsequent problems with ObamaCare.
The consumers' regulations for prescriptions are surreal: doctor sends in a digital prescription to the approved mail order pharmacy, and every time the prescription needs filling or refilling, a phone call must be made to the patient or to the medical proxy to verify the medication -- even something as routine as metformin or Lisinopril.
The medication will not be mailed until the verification! I have to go through this over and over again since January 1. On one round, Mr. AOW almost ran out of his medication. Sheesh.
Expect the poor and working class to lose more ground and radicalize further. I would expect more violent incidents rather than few but nobody has ever said the right is clear headed.
Given that the poor and working class have been losing ground over the past six years of the Obama economy, what makes you think that would have changed and the senate remained in Democrat hands?
Ducky is the last person in our solar system that should be talking about clear thinking. The guy is a walking repository of Marxist talking points. I’m actually surprised Ducky doesn’t have his own blather hour on MSNBC: the Mad Duck.
Silverpiddler: The Obama economy which created more jobs in his first two years than Bush did in eight? The stimulus which prevented a depression but since the GOP cut it in half made the economic recovery much slower while average Americans suffered? GDP growth each month consecutively since the stimulus? Unemployment down from 7.8 tp 5.9% since 2009? Consumer confidence at an all time high? Cut the Deficit and Slowed Spending to Lowest Level in 50 Years?
The GOP screwed the middle class to make Obama look bad but he still succeeded. And wingnuts still buy the lies from the right and voted the GOP back in. Fools.
More important than this one's name calling is her lying and distortions.
We have indeed experienced negative GDP growth, and all that has saved unemployment from staying in double digits are the tens of millions of frustrated job seekers who gave up.
Our workforce has shrunk to what it was in Jimmy Carter's 1978. Disco anyone?
The deficit cut was a cut from unprecedented astronomical levels never seen before in the history of the nation, and Obama's "recovery" is the absolute worst on record.
Also, she ascribes so much power to the GOP. They can wreck the economy, stop people from getting jobs, blow money, all on their own, even while Democrats control the Senate and the Executive branch.
What power they have!
The hopium-fill delusion bubbles are fun, but I see tears ahead when they burst.
The GOP crashed the economy in 2008. They will make every attempt to do so once again. Not to mention get us into a few new wars in the process. That's all they can do. Oh, that and take away critical social programs for average Americans-you know, the one's who still vote for them while they lose big.
One of the Regulars from the Shore Whore's Lair accused Republicans of "destroying" Obama at Who's Your Daddy? earlier.
This was my response:
If this president has been destroyed, -- a big if considering the powerful array of largely unknown, unseen nefarious internationalist forces who effectively put him in office -- he destroyed himself simply by being who he is -- an avowed crypto-Marxist born and bred, determined to bring about a fundamental change in the nature and character of our nation, its culture, and its prescribed method of governance by boldly assuming the role of a quasi-monarchical dictator.

For every scary rightwing billionaire you huff and puff about, there is an equally rich and scary leftwing one, so give it a rest already.
What you need to learn is that ExxonMobil and the hedge fund managers get what they want from both parties.
Demican and Republicrat are just two factions of the same DC criminal gang.

Blue Colorado is sending a Republican to the Senate, the GOP has taken back the Colorado Senate, and may also win back the statehouse.

Termite-like this slimy creature chews Steadily besmirching others’ views. Snotty, sullen, he will not relent Harbingers of malice don’t repent. Instead, they thrive as they forever choose To propagate and spread their septic views.

PS: Don't miss the acrostic. It maybe naughty, but it's oh-so apt. };-)>
So the GOP owns both houses now, albeit with the likes of Boehner and McConnell likely at the helm(s). So the question is, will they govern like Conservatives...or govern as they have in the past? Is it too much to ask, to have them govern on a campaign of "hope and change", to "radically transform" the nation into one where individual liberty and fiscal sanity is paramount?
And finally, will they actually govern as if they control the House and the Senate, as opposed to allowing the Executive Branch to usurp their enumerated authorities?
Well Ducky, an actual Conservative [not your average Republican] governs by asking two pertinent questions when considering any bill or policy: Does said effort fall within the scope [enumerated powers] of the Constitution [State or Federal]; and does said effort protect or restrict the liberty of the American citizen.
Wrong. The GOP won becasue that's what happens in second term mid term elections, they gerry mandered districts, Citiziens United enabled them to allow corporations buy their politicians...and our democracy, the right wing media lied about the constant obstruction of the GOP and the progress Obama has made with the economy.
Oh, and they're mostly pretty stupid, too. Why would four states vote in favor of raising the minimum wage and at the same time vote in the Republican who will prevent it from happening?
Both of these articles say the corridors are not bailouts, then go on to explain how the government takes taxpayer money and hands it to the insurance industry.
Only our feral government could completely wreck a market and then hand out money to try to 'fix' it. A simple program to directly pay the medical bill of the uninsured would have cost less than 10% of what the bloated Obamacare monster gobbles up.
Think Regress tries to say it's not an insurance company bailout, but then goes on to state:
"In 2014, the ACA sets aside about $10 billion that will be used to help insurers pay out claims for particularly expensive patients enrolled in marketplace plans, thereby also keeping down these policies’ premiums."
Let's hope that people get to work now. The Leftwing meme on TV this morning is "let's see if they'll compromise" when absolutely ZERO compromise was implemented by their side. If only Reid had allowed some of those bills Republicans wanted at least an up/down vote on could have happened. You know, those things the Republicans were 'saying NO to' :-)
Watch MSNBC and CNN today; it's eye opening. CBS Morning News was bemused. It reminds me of "Gee, how could THIS have happened? Everyone I know is a liberal!"
You mean if only Reid had done what the Teabags wanted?
You aren't strong on specifics, z. Just what bills?
Maybe what bothers me most about this election is how it was bought. First the dark money flooded in to ensure that the economic structure continues its present course. But that's been going on to some extent for almost 40 years.
Then the voter suppression kicked in under the guise of eliminating voter fraud. Please tell me how cutting early voting eliminates fraud. Come on, let's discuss something substantive. Texas passes a voter law that the lower court declares unconstitutional. SCOTUS essentially agrees but rules that the law can't be changed so close to the election. Next thing you know you'll tell me that Fox covered that issue in depth.
We were bought and sold, American democracy was subverted and you cheer. Pretty perverse that you won't even go into detail why.
The president is fond of referring to the House as the ‘do-nothing Congress.’ But we have 352 reasons why it’s a ‘do-Nothing Senate.’
"352 bills are sitting on Harry Reid’s desk, awaiting action.
"98 percent of them passed with bipartisan support -- Republicans and Democrats working together to pass legislation.
"50 percent of the bills passed unanimously, with no opposition.
"70 percent of the bills passed with two-thirds support in the House.
"And over 55 bills were introduced by Democrats.
"352 bills. Why won’t Harry Reid act? These are good bills; bills that put the American people back to work, put more money in hardworking Americans pockets, help with education, and skills training. We call upon Harry Reid to get to work before he adjourns in August to pass some of these bills. The American people deserve better."
The duck may be many things, exasperating, rude, opinionated, obtuse, etc., but he is no idiot.... else he wouldn't have survived all those duck seasons. And -ps, much as others may hate his presence, he does raise the temperature (and general iq level) of every room he walks into. ;)
The First Wookie Said to Go out and Eat Some Fried Chicken after Voting Democratic, Well I Hit KFC and Got Me a 2 Piece Meal in Celebration Of The Ass Whipping the Libies Took ! I Think I Will Have a Chicken Dinner After Voting from Now On ! Nov 4th Should Be National Fried Chicken Day !
Now That I Think about It, the Chicken Must Have Tasted like Crow
Ducky, you should be better informed. Was your implication Reid HAS allowed all Republican bills to get an up or down vote? This article is 2012, by the way....two years ago. Plenty more. YOU look it up, I haven't the time to educate.
I'd tell you about the fraud in N. Carolina, but you'll deny it with no information; I'd tell you about the computer screens where one votes Republican and it automatically goes to Democrat..... you need to know this and you won't learn it at The Nation or MSNBC. Trust me. So, instead it's voter suppression because Republicans trust Americans enough to get a stinkin' piece of ID on their own before VOTING. We think voting is more important than the Left, apparently....Years ago, even Democrats agreed that you registered up till a certain date, then if you couldn't figure THAT out, you don't vote. It was legal voting then....you registered, you had ID and showed it... even Democrats like O'Neil and Moynihan and Kennedy actually put country before the promotion of lies about racist division back in the day. Republicans now are doing all we can to get back to believing "even those Black Americans the Left thinks so little of" deserve to be treated with respect and have the best expected of them. That's part of the AMERICA you quizzed me about the other day. Bliss.
Well, it's a new day, z. Since it's AOW's blog I'll give you an example of how it's going to go.
The talk now is about passing a budget (Hint: Dog whistle for cutting Social Security and Medicare(aid)). Not Obama will be happy to cut those programs and maybe cut Mr. AOW's benefits in the process.
Careful what you wish for. And be certain you understand what's being held up an why.
During his press conference Obama talked about trade. He's referring to fast tracking the TransPacific Partnership. Do some research on what that will do to drug prices and tell me Reid's a villain.
By the way, do not assume to tell me where I get my news.
"don't assume?" Right. You never assume anything. Ducky, you can be outright hilarious!
Pssst....things won't go PERFECTLY well with Republicans in charge, either; I hate to break it to you. But maybe the goals will be a bit more fair to ALL Americans and don't tell me you listen to enough MSNBC to have bought into THEY WANT TO CUT SOCIAL SECURITY? That's PRE election BS...looks like it didn't work. :-)
Really? That's your reply to Ducky's post? You really are in GOP denial, aren't you? Hope you don't have a terminally ill family member when the GOP repeal Obamacare.
No Lisa, that was an attempt to revoke a program that outsourced Medicare payments to for profit insurers who turned out to be more expensive and less efficient. The money was to be managed through the normal Medicare channels. No benefits were to be cut, just costs.
You must get you news the same place as z.
Remember the left is here to help you live the life of the mind.
OMG, really now. How can you argue with someone still using outdated and thoroughly debunked information? It's hopeless and Fox News is seeing to this.
A lot of incumbent Democrats did not keep their seats. In contrast, quite a few incumbent Republicans did get re-elected.
More importantly, Senate bills will come to the floor, and Senators will have to go on record with their votes. That record of votes will be something tangible for the electorate to see in 2016 when we vote in the National Election.
Right, and lets see the GOP publicly vote down jobs bills as they have been all along. Let's wait and see all those bills the GOP supposedly have on Reid's desk giving the wealthy and corporations more tax breaks and loopholes.
Yes, lol. Let's get it all out in the open. I can't wait. The GOP are cooked no matter what they do now.
AOW...did you hear him today? He hit hard on the "2/3 of people who DIDN'T vote"..."I hear you" OH! And he "hears" those who DID vote, too! The guy is truly living in an egomaniacal cocoon of Valerie Jarrett and his wife. Got to break out and smell reality a little more. I'm not a huge McConnell fan, but his speech today was excellent....
If ONLY we can work together......HOW many times do all of us write here and STILL leftwingers don't listen? Oh, but they'll DEMAND your links and details while ignoring your questions. Every time. It's almost like Congress in session, come to think of it.
No, we the aged, Fox watchers voted against their better interests, once again. And Obama's right, the GOP can't win unless they prevent millions from voting with draconian regulations our 'founding fathers' would cringe at.
I listened to part of Senator Mitch McConnell's interview today on my lunch break at work. I was very impressed with him. The common thread was that there was a need to rectify some deep wrongs against the American people. He spoke of Obamacare and how it has destroyed the forty hour work week for the American worker, the need to confront and adjudicate the wrongs committed by the IRS, the need to deal with an illegal Senate voting maneuver in 2013 to make sure that it never happens again.
Time to cleanse the House..... and the Senate.
Meanwhile, the POTUS acts like the Tsunami vote against his administration and its policies is an illusion. Question: Has anyone ever seen this President show contrition for anything? Of course not. He is a self-styled Messiah.
Forty hour week is generally code for union busting but let that go.
A corporation like Walmart can reduce their costs by hiring part time. ACA or no ACA , they save on health insurance. They save on unemployment insurance, vacation etc. I get it, they willingly reduce profits, right?
What does McConnell suggest will convince them to switching to full time employment?
I suggest they go home, turn on a state-approved program like Jon Stewart or Girls, fire up the hopium hookah, and kick back. It'll all be ok, Uncle Sam's check will still be in the mail.
Silverfiddle...good one....it's really 'tough to argue' that Democracy stinks if Republicans win, right? :-) so so sad...this poor country; what amazing 'logic' we see above. And facts out of SOMEWHERE?
Just be glad that I don't come and camp out in your spare bedroom. When AOW and I get together she has that coffee perking at four-thirty and by five a.m. our political yodeling is in full gear. The three cats hide while we shred their scratching post, Mr. AOW ignores us..... you get the picture.

What you need to learn is that ExxonMobil and the hedge fund managers get what they want from both parties.
Demican and Republicrat are just two factions of the same DC criminal gang.
Obama and the progressive Pelosicrats overreached, and they got whacked for it.
Blue Colorado is sending a Republican to the Senate, the GOP has taken back the Colorado Senate, and may also win back the statehouse.
About the only thing that can save us is that the Progressive Long Marchers always go too far. So keep it up, keep showing the kook fringe left with money and encouragement.

Kapital is kapital, Silverfiddle and kapital gets what it wants.
DeleteYou get to continue to complain.
To her credit Elizabeth Warren has tried to be a voice for the middle class.
By the way, Soros has an article in last week's New York Review of Books. Rather conservative position but you should read it and get a little better developed world view.
But we got to choose Coke or Pepsi. We chose Coke and you damn fools think that will make a difference.
It is intensely sad that you sold out American democracy for NOTHING. For freakin' NOTHING. And you give me the tone?
Voice for the middle class? Please.
DeletePocahontas' hero, Thomas Picketti, of Capital in the 21st Century fame, isn't going to tax the middle class into prosperity, like she thinks.
We need to bring back the Trustbusters!
DeleteBut of course today, the biggest "restrainers of fair trade" in the world is the US Government.
Liz & Tom need to stop affiliating with "Patrioticmillionaires.org" is they want to develop ANY kind of genuine "rapport" with the MIDDLE Class.
DeleteBINGO, once again, Thersites!
DeleteI sold out American Democracy?
DeleteOK, I'm certain of it now. You're unhinged.
And, like your putrid ideology, you are intellectually bereft. I ask you again...
Given that the poor and working class have been losing ground over the past six years of the Obama economy, what makes you think that would have changed had the senate remained in Democrat hands?
Answer the damned question for once.
Above message addressed to Ducky
DeleteSF - Ducky has to be unhinged, if he thinks his Liberals/Progressives aren't 50% of the problem in being able to choose Coke or Pepsi.
DeleteThe biggest losers are average Americans who were fooled by the lies of right wing media and risk losing more than they realize. With the help of the SCOTUS, the Koch Brothers finally succeed in buying our Democracy.
ReplyDeleteYour vague comment about 'Obama's Overreach' is an example of a catch phrase with no substance.
The GOP cant help themselves but to screw things up again. The Dems will take it all back, including the Presidency, in 2016
things are screwed up now which is the reason. Face up to it sock puppet.

AMEN, Lisa! "This One" has also been known as "Lester" and "Liberalmann."
DeleteI use this stock response whenever he appears:
Living loosely, tilting to the left,
Eager to condemn with sneers and taunts,
Sarcastic always right wing blogs he haunts
Trolling for attention he is deft ––
Excellent in fact –– like no one who since
Rose of Tokyo fouled GI’s air
Eroding confidence at morale she’d tear ––
An eloquently evil bloody nuisance.
Termite-like this slimy creature chews
Steadily besmirching others’ views.
Snotty, sullen, he will not relent
Harbingers of malice don’t repent.
Instead, they thrive as they forever choose
To propagate and spread their septic views.

Well don't expect MSNBC to disclose it
DeleteSo the GOP owns both houses now, albeit with the likes of Boehner and McConnell likely at the helm(s). So the question is, will they govern like Conservatives...or govern as they have in the past? Is it too much to ask, to have them govern on a campaign of "hope and change", to "radically transform" the nation into one where individual liberty and fiscal sanity is paramount?
ReplyDeleteAnd finally, will they actually govern as if they control the House and the Senate, as opposed to allowing the Executive Branch to usurp their enumerated authorities?
How does a conservative govern?
DeleteWell Ducky, an actual Conservative [not your average Republican] governs by asking two pertinent questions when considering any bill or policy: Does said effort fall within the scope [enumerated powers] of the Constitution [State or Federal]; and does said effort protect or restrict the liberty of the American citizen.
Delete....and you forgot....will it line my pockets? That's the true Conservative modus openandi.
DeleteThis is a resounding rejection of Obama. Remember Obama said this election was about HIS POLICIES.
ReplyDeleteWell, the American people heard that loud and clear and said they are SICK of Obama and the Democrats policies.
It's time for some real hope and change ladies and gentlemen.
And Scott Walker WON Wisconsin., aint that a kick in the Progressives head?
LOL I love it
Wrong. The GOP won becasue that's what happens in second term mid term elections, they gerry mandered districts, Citiziens United enabled them to allow corporations buy their politicians...and our democracy, the right wing media lied about the constant obstruction of the GOP and the progress Obama has made with the economy.
DeleteOh, and they're mostly pretty stupid, too. Why would four states vote in favor of raising the minimum wage and at the same time vote in the Republican who will prevent it from happening?
Funny how a "regional party" can jerrymander so many districts in purple and blue states...
DeleteThe hopium smoke is getting thick in here.
You should be seeing your health insurance costs going down now, right?
ReplyDeleteThere was so much dark money in this campaign that the upward transfer of wealth is going to slow, right?
Nothing much going t change except the hardening of the right's myopia.
Health care costs will explode now. We all knew that. Obama can only threaten doctors and insurers for so long.
DeleteWe know the GOP will not approve the government bribes Obama dreamed of handing Big Med
Yeah, it's Obama who started surrendering our health insurance system to for profit, antitrust exempt insurers.
DeleteGo to your room.
A single payer health care system wouldn't be the governmental equivalent of a corporate "trust"? Who knew?
DeleteHey Ducky, why don't you go *Quack* yourself.
DeleteBoth of these articles say the corridors are not bailouts, then go on to explain how the government takes taxpayer money and hands it to the insurance industry.
Only our feral government could completely wreck a market and then hand out money to try to 'fix' it. A simple program to directly pay the medical bill of the uninsured would have cost less than 10% of what the bloated Obamacare monster gobbles up.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/01/27/heres-the-deal-with-the-obamacare-bailout/
Think Regress tries to say it's not an insurance company bailout, but then goes on to state:
"In 2014, the ACA sets aside about $10 billion that will be used to help insurers pay out claims for particularly expensive patients enrolled in marketplace plans, thereby also keeping down these policies’ premiums."
http://thinkprogress.org/health/2014/01/13/3155631/debunking-obamacare-myth-insurance-company-bailout/
"Insuring the insurers," "Bending the cost curve" "Risk adjustment" "Reinsurance"...
No matter what you call it, it's still quacking out of both ends.
I love the graphic! Thanks FT.
ReplyDeleteThat graphic is terrific...good find, FT.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that people get to work now. The Leftwing meme on TV this morning is "let's see if they'll compromise" when absolutely ZERO compromise was implemented by their side. If only Reid had allowed some of those bills Republicans wanted at least an up/down vote on could have happened. You know, those things the Republicans were 'saying NO to' :-)
Watch MSNBC and CNN today; it's eye opening. CBS Morning News was bemused. It reminds me of "Gee, how could THIS have happened? Everyone I know is a liberal!"
What bills?
DeleteYou mean if only Reid had done what the Teabags wanted?
You aren't strong on specifics, z. Just what bills?
Maybe what bothers me most about this election is how it was bought.
First the dark money flooded in to ensure that the economic structure continues its present course. But that's been going on to some extent for almost 40 years.
Then the voter suppression kicked in under the guise of eliminating voter fraud.
Please tell me how cutting early voting eliminates fraud. Come on, let's discuss something substantive.
Texas passes a voter law that the lower court declares unconstitutional. SCOTUS essentially agrees but rules that the law can't be changed so close to the election.
Next thing you know you'll tell me that Fox covered that issue in depth.
We were bought and sold, American democracy was subverted and you cheer. Pretty perverse that you won't even go into detail why.
What bills?
DeleteReid could have passed at least a few of the House bills sponsored by Democrats. What chutzpah!
Bills, "What bills?"
Delete*quack, quack, quack, quack*
Lynn Jenkin, (R) KS
DeleteThe president is fond of referring to the House as the ‘do-nothing Congress.’ But we have 352 reasons why it’s a ‘do-Nothing Senate.’
"352 bills are sitting on Harry Reid’s desk, awaiting action.
"98 percent of them passed with bipartisan support -- Republicans and Democrats working together to pass legislation.
"50 percent of the bills passed unanimously, with no opposition.
"70 percent of the bills passed with two-thirds support in the House.
"And over 55 bills were introduced by Democrats.
"352 bills. Why won’t Harry Reid act? These are good bills; bills that put the American people back to work, put more money in hardworking Americans pockets, help with education, and skills training. We call upon Harry Reid to get to work before he adjourns in August to pass some of these bills. The American people deserve better."
The Blaze? Please tell me you've got more than that.
DeleteExactly as I say, the Senate is "do nothing" because it didn't fellate the Teabags.
Please stop.
You really need to stop shooting the messenger, ducky.

Now That I Think about It, the Chicken Must Have Tasted like Crow
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/reid-laughs-prospect-bringing-gop-bills-votes-senate
ReplyDeleteDucky, you should be better informed. Was your implication Reid HAS allowed all Republican bills to get an up or down vote? This article is 2012, by the way....two years ago. Plenty more. YOU look it up, I haven't the time to educate.
I'd tell you about the fraud in N. Carolina, but you'll deny it with no information; I'd tell you about the computer screens where one votes Republican and it automatically goes to Democrat..... you need to know this and you won't learn it at The Nation or MSNBC. Trust me.
So, instead it's voter suppression because Republicans trust Americans enough to get a stinkin' piece of ID on their own before VOTING. We think voting is more important than the Left, apparently....Years ago, even Democrats agreed that you registered up till a certain date, then if you couldn't figure THAT out, you don't vote. It was legal voting then....you registered, you had ID and showed it... even Democrats like O'Neil and Moynihan and Kennedy actually put country before the promotion of lies about racist division back in the day.
Republicans now are doing all we can to get back to believing "even those Black Americans the Left thinks so little of" deserve to be treated with respect and have the best expected of them. That's part of the AMERICA you quizzed me about the other day.
Bliss.
Well, it's a new day, z.
DeleteSince it's AOW's blog I'll give you an example of how it's going to go.
The talk now is about passing a budget (Hint: Dog whistle for cutting Social Security and Medicare(aid)). Not Obama will be happy to cut those programs and maybe cut Mr. AOW's benefits in the process.
Careful what you wish for. And be certain you understand what's being held up an why.
During his press conference Obama talked about trade. He's referring to fast tracking the TransPacific Partnership. Do some research on what that will do to drug prices and tell me Reid's a villain.
By the way, do not assume to tell me where I get my news.
"don't assume?" Right. You never assume anything.
DeleteDucky, you can be outright hilarious!
Pssst....things won't go PERFECTLY well with Republicans in charge, either; I hate to break it to you. But maybe the goals will be a bit more fair to ALL Americans and don't tell me you listen to enough MSNBC to have bought into THEY WANT TO CUT SOCIAL SECURITY? That's PRE election BS...looks like it didn't work.
:-)
Really? That's your reply to Ducky's post? You really are in GOP denial, aren't you? Hope you don't have a terminally ill family member when the GOP repeal Obamacare.
DeleteOh Ducky,Ducky ,Ducky . Look at the republicans cutting. medicare
DeleteNo Lisa, that was an attempt to revoke a program that outsourced Medicare payments to for profit insurers who turned out to be more expensive and less efficient.
DeleteThe money was to be managed through the normal Medicare channels. No benefits were to be cut, just costs.
You must get you news the same place as z.
Remember the left is here to help you live the life of the mind.
OMG, really now. How can you argue with someone still using outdated and thoroughly debunked information? It's hopeless and Fox News is seeing to this.
DeleteIsn't it funny how the Democrats are always for bipartisanship and working together after they've lost an election.
ReplyDeleteYou say the with a straight face after nothing but GOP obstruction for 6 years all the while allowing the middle class to suffer? Really? Oy vey!
DeleteYou mean bipartisan like the Teabags?
ReplyDeleteAre you on dope?
A lot of incumbent Democrats did not keep their seats. In contrast, quite a few incumbent Republicans did get re-elected.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly, Senate bills will come to the floor, and Senators will have to go on record with their votes. That record of votes will be something tangible for the electorate to see in 2016 when we vote in the National Election.
Right, and lets see the GOP publicly vote down jobs bills as they have been all along. Let's wait and see all those bills the GOP supposedly have on Reid's desk giving the wealthy and corporations more tax breaks and loopholes.
DeleteYes, lol. Let's get it all out in the open. I can't wait. The GOP are cooked no matter what they do now.

Delete1. In 2008 and 2012, WE THE PEOPLE voted for change.
ReplyDelete2. WE THE PEOPLE voted for change yesterday.
The first is a-okay, but the second isn't? Does that make sense? Nope!
Obama is going to double down, maybe even triple down. How's that gonna play in 2016? Hmmmmm?
AOW...did you hear him today? He hit hard on the "2/3 of people who DIDN'T vote"..."I hear you" OH! And he "hears" those who DID vote, too!
DeleteThe guy is truly living in an egomaniacal cocoon of Valerie Jarrett and his wife. Got to break out and smell reality a little more.
I'm not a huge McConnell fan, but his speech today was excellent....
If ONLY we can work together......HOW many times do all of us write here and STILL leftwingers don't listen? Oh, but they'll DEMAND your links and details while ignoring your questions. Every time.
It's almost like Congress in session, come to think of it.
And yes, WE THE PEOPLE are FINE as long as the WE agrees with HE.
DeleteNo, we the aged, Fox watchers voted against their better interests, once again. And Obama's right, the GOP can't win unless they prevent millions from voting with draconian regulations our 'founding fathers' would cringe at.
DeleteCheck out these maps. A sea of red! Look at it!
ReplyDeleteThis is the reality right now.
No, right now it's just a map of goobers. Wait for the real map in 2016.
DeleteI listened to part of Senator Mitch McConnell's interview today on my lunch break at work. I was very impressed with him. The common thread was that there was a need to rectify some deep wrongs against the American people. He spoke of Obamacare and how it has destroyed the forty hour work week for the American worker, the need to confront and adjudicate the wrongs committed by the IRS, the need to deal with an illegal Senate voting maneuver in 2013 to make sure that it never happens again.
ReplyDeleteTime to cleanse the House..... and the Senate.
Meanwhile, the POTUS acts like the Tsunami vote against his administration and its policies is an illusion. Question: Has anyone ever seen this President show contrition for anything? Of course not. He is a self-styled Messiah.

Forty hour week is generally code for union busting but let that go.
DeleteA corporation like Walmart can reduce their costs by hiring part time.
ACA or no ACA , they save on health insurance.
They save on unemployment insurance, vacation etc.
I get it, they willingly reduce profits, right?
What does McConnell suggest will convince them to switching to full time employment?
What illegal Senate voting maneuver?
The Obamanuts are restless tonight...
ReplyDeleteI suggest they go home, turn on a state-approved program like Jon Stewart or Girls, fire up the hopium hookah, and kick back. It'll all be ok, Uncle Sam's check will still be in the mail.

Tammy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for being you. It's so refreshing to hear from someone who is a [real] professional. I look forward to your comments.
Jon,
DeleteJust be glad that I don't come and camp out in your spare bedroom. When AOW and I get together she has that coffee perking at four-thirty and by five a.m. our political yodeling is in full gear. The three cats hide while we shred their scratching post, Mr. AOW ignores us..... you get the picture.
Smiling,
Tammy
