Latest poll: Americans want Democrats to control Congress

[Toro]

Republicans have a shot for the House, they have little chance for the Senate.

WASHINGTON — Americans want Democrats to control Congress after this year’s elections...

There are precisely NO (Zero, None, Nada, Zilch... ) Leftist Americans...

And there are DAMN FEW DEMOCRATS who are NOT Lfeftists...



Now all that means is that there number of Leftist Citizens, registered with the Democrat Party, who prefer the Democrats to be in power: is IRRELEVANT...

As ALL LEFTISTS, without regard to what Political affiliation they join, are subversive to America; meaning that they are ANTI-American and what they WANT is MEANINGLESS... except to say that it's a wonderful compass with regard to the policies America needs to follow, to avoid being undermined by it's DOMESTIC ENEMY.

So your basically against political freedom in America.

Those who hold political beliefs that you do not agree with are Anti-American? Is that right?

Apparently you feel that you have the exclusive right to dictate what political beliefs are and are not acceptable in America.

Sounds kind of un-American.

I think that even Dick Cheney & Sarah Palin would take objection to your view.

Except when he is whining about being neg repped, PI has 6500 posts that are all pretty much exactly like this one, only they are usually many, many pages long. I'll let you draw your own conclusions about that.

Republicans will gain at least 70 seats in House and will get majority of Senate.

I'll have what you're smoking.

actually.............its tea s0n!!! Smoking the "change" was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay bitter for independents. They loath politicians who try to bamboozle them!!!

I have no problem with a split Congress, particularly if the House goes GOP. The deals some of his people cut with the WH and the Senate will for make an interesting season and an unhappy Boehner.

I agree.

I don't like to see one party with all the marbles either.

When both parties are there and split close to evenly, they have to work together. I do think encumbants in both parties are going to be scrambling. Hope they all get booted out.

Should be an interesting season to say the least and Boehner can go fuck himself.

Claudette, I love the way you talk. I would love to see Reed, Pelosi, Boehner, and McConnell all leave. I think BHO would also. He, like Clinton, although to the left, can govern from the center and still be relevant. Look what Clinton to the GOP the last four years of his presidency.

This is true becasue most Americans know who rules the GOP. That is huge corporations and Big Oil. The Republicans will always be in the corner of the affluent. They need to get together and come up with strange reasons to support stances against the tax payers, like adding to the limit that oil companies need to pay in spills will hurt the "small driller."

PLEASE! If our environment and earth are at stake, there should be no small drillers!

Thanks. I think.

Clinton and the GOP led Congress worked very well together. They acomplished a lot in the last four years of his presidency. He couldn't work with his own party.

If Barry is a committed left wing ideologue he will have a tough time moving to the center. I don't think he's as politically savvy as Clinton was in that respect.

If he can move to the center and work with a new Congress he may be able to do some good things. Hell. He may even get re-elected.

Just my thoughts. LOL

Well let me see. The ObamaCare is going to cost more then what the Dem's predicted. We were right about that. We didn't lie because we didn't have to. In fact, if it was up to the American voters, the health care bill wouldn't have passed. Oh wait, we've been right about Obama ever since he started to run for president.

You have? So, he is a Muslim? A terrorist? A Communist? A Socialist? NOT born in the United States?

Oh yeah....your track record is fucking AWESOME!

The problem is that socialist thinking is so embedded into your brains that its like trying to tell fish they are underwater. The fish simply say "what water..."

If you can't afford the spill then you can't afford to drill!

I agree as well. I think that the Democrats bit off more than they could chew as soon as they took both the legislative and executive - they rushed into everything they'd been wanting to do for the last 12 or so years, in a way that looked arrogant and totalitarian. In November 2008, the Democratic leadership felt invulnerable. They were giddy, and so caught up in their victories that they charged blindly ahead with EVERYTHING.

The Republican's strategy was fairly effective - since the Dems had more than enough votes, the Republicans could get all their pork passed along with the Dems pork without having to vote for the bills. They'd pick one or two sacrificial lambs (the ones that everyone calls RINOs) and attack the bills in public, but fill it full of pork behind closed doors - something that the Republicans took advantage of, and also attacked the Dems leadership with it.

Ditto.

The same as the Pubs, so that excuse don't wash you clean.

The Dems are done with any attempt at bi-partisanship. The GOP refused to under stand that the LOST the election, thus would have to be junior partners in helping to shape legislation. McConnell and Boehner should resign, because you watch what the Dems do after the elections this fall. They will still have Congress, and they will shove all sorts of stuff down our throats.

The Reps suck just as much as the Dems in my book. All the encumbants in both parties should get the boot.

Will have to see what they do if they do regain power. Did they learn anything from the drubbing they got in 2006 and 2008??

Only time will tell on that one.

?

I'm not sure what you mean by "The same as the Pubs", nor do I understand what you mean by "that excuse doesn't wash you clean".

My post is discussing political strategies, not excuses for anything.

Far be it from me to make excuses for politicians on either side.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Tu quoque is an acceptable defense when one side accuses the other side of doing the same thing.

You don't follow that?

No. I'll admit, I'm actually completely lost on what you're trying to say.

Edit to add:

Maybe I see what you're saying. But I think you're misinterpreting what I was trying to say.

I was not excusing nor defending anyone. I was simply describing the political situation of the last year and a half, as I've seen it.
