Remember when I said the GOP blocked the BP investigation into the Gulf Oil Spill and they cried liar? Even when I presented video from congress of Republicans blocking the investigation?
Remember when I said Republicans threatened to not pay unemployment benefits to millions of Americans unless the rich got enormous tax cuts? I proved that.
Remember when I said a Senate Republican apologized to BP because Obama was making them pay?
Remember when I said the military made the worlds fastest supercomputer out of game chips and USMB Republicans laughed and laughed. Turns out I was right.
Instead of actually proving anything, they will say "everybody knows" and then make some unproven accusation.
Then, they whine about Republicans always being attacked. Could you imagine Democrats apologizing to BP? Or sending soldiers into the wrong country? Or any of the awful things Republicans have done? There may be a few who vote Republican because this is a coalition party. There are conservatives in the Democratic Party. Besides they give cover to Republican policies.
I think If Republicans are going to scream liar, they should at least have the decency to prove it. Not that I'm calling them decent. Anyone who cuts benefits disabled veterans and school lunches for children is hardly decent. Even many of them agree with that.
you've got to take into acct that they are a bitter and shrinking demographic.
Yep, facts DO matter in reality... Try it!
Well, since I had not seen the statistic on senate elections I was a bit taken back.
It's a bummer for democrats.
I am afraid it does nothing for them as the system was set up that way.
Not really, the GOP isn't a national party anymore, just a bunch of Conservative Confederate States of AmeriKKKa hate mongers and liars, as this thread proves
Well, yes really. That was the basis for the bicameral system.
As to the GOP not being a national party, I would agree. It will be interesting to see what kind of leadership they develop and if they can put together any kind of national message going forward.
The real question is...do they need one.
I've seen several good debates over the composition of the senate these next several years.
But, it seems that most agree the house will stay with the GOP this next cycle (and could get even stronger).
We could be back to what we had in 2010 (dems in WH & Senate....federal legislature in gridlock).
The GOP owns more state houses than the democrats.
I have to wonder if the democrats didn't put to many eggs in one basket....and lost their game. CO sure seemed to swing away from them this time around. Even some GOP whackjobs got elected to the state house.
Time will tell.
One thing is for sure....it never seems to stay the same.
